Vacant job

At the Swedish Migration Agency, we work with one of the major societal issues of our time – migration. We are approximately 6,000 people here, and we have an exceptionally important job!

We are looking for a team leader for the administrative unit in Norrköping.

With us, you will work on current societal issues that are affected by what happens in our surroundings. Issues that concern and engage. We offer a dynamic environment where continuous improvements and meeting people are in focus.

What does a team leader do?

The administrative unit handles a large number of cases and inquiries regarding the disclosure of information and documents in the Migration Agency's cases. As a team leader in the unit, you represent the employer and support the immediate manager in the operational management work of the unit. You guide the employees in the unit with a coaching approach and contribute to ensuring that the unit has good conditions in terms of a developing work environment, the right competence, reasonable workload, clear goals, and good planning. In some cases, you independently handle individual cases and conduct confidentiality assessments in cases that are particularly complex, in accordance with applicable regulations. You manage documents and records in both physical form and in our document and case management systems. In your role, you communicate with other parts of the Migration Agency as well as with other authorities, the public, representatives, and journalists.

You drive the work in the unit to continuously improve methods and working practices to find methods that provide added value and efficiency that benefit both the unit's employees and those who turn to us.

Who are you?

We are looking for someone who leads and motivates others to achieve common goals. You coordinate groups, create engagement, and participation. You have good collaboration skills, are attentive, and resolve conflicts constructively. Furthermore, you see the whole picture and take into account the best interests of the entire operation in your actions and decisions. You quickly and judiciously weigh information and make swift decisions, even with limited information or difficult circumstances. You take initiative, start activities, and achieve results, and you easily adapt to changing circumstances and can quickly change your perspective and approach.

In our work as civil servants, high demands are also placed on judgment and a high level of security and confidentiality awareness.
