A Job That Counts!

With us, you contribute to a well-functioning society for the public and businesses.

Our newly formed unit needs to grow with additional lawyers for work with qualified law in various legal areas.

About the Job

In the unit, we work, among other things, with a simplified court procedure, where we instead of the court decide on cases regarding payment orders and assistance. We also work with enforcement reviews of judgments and decisions, as well as processing cases regarding corrections, blocking, and deletion of data in the authority's operational databases.

Your workday is varied. You will work in several different legal areas; including procedural law, property and tenancy law, contract law, consumer law, family law, corporate law, and enforcement law. You will handle cases regarding special assistance, conduct legal investigations, and write opinions to courts and other authorities. The work involves many external contacts both in writing and by phone. In addition, you will provide legal support to case handlers in several units within the department. This means that you, in a coaching role, need to be prepared to quickly handle and respond to various types of questions.

Everyone working at the Enforcement Authority contributes to the fight against crime. Your tasks include identifying and preventing attempts at criminal activity and notifying other authorities about suspected crimes. As a lawyer, you can, for example, counter fictitious claims in applications for payment orders and thereby prevent welfare crimes from being committed.

Possible locations for the position may be Luleå, Umeå, Östersund, Gävle, Uddevalla, and Visby. Currently, this is where the unit's lawyers and enforcement officers are located.

About Us

The Enforcement Authority is a government agency with an important mission. We work closely with people in vulnerable situations. We help those who have not been paid and guide those who need to pay. We provide citizens and businesses with information and good service, so they can make long-term and sustainable decisions. This requires knowledge, decisiveness, care, and courage. We contribute to a well-functioning society for the public and businesses – a society where debts and other claims are established and collected in a legally secure manner.

With us, you can expect challenging tasks that are also developing for you. When you go home after a day at work, you can be sure that you have done something that really counts – both for others and for yourself.

Good to Know

The employment is permanent and begins with a six-month probationary period. You will be employed as a lawyer. The Enforcement Authority offers the possibility of remote work by agreement with the employer.

Working in the government means that you follow the government value base. There are also special requirements for judgment, security thinking, and compliance with applicable laws. We ask questions during the interview about any previous criminal activity and shortcomings in previous employment. For final candidates, these questions are also asked to referees. We also collect information about debts registered with the Enforcement Authority, bankruptcy, and business prohibitions. The information obtained is weighed in the overall assessment of your suitability for the current position.

Employment with us may involve placement in a security class. A security review with a background check according to the Security Protection Act (2018:585) may therefore be conducted before a decision on employment. For some of our tasks in security class, Swedish citizenship is required.
