Job Advertisement: Deputy

Jönköping Municipality is a large employer with hundreds of different job roles. We are growing in line with the development of the municipality, with more residents, more housing, and a larger range of services. We are always on the lookout for new talent - employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences, united by the common drive to create a better municipality to visit, live, work, and reside in.

Do you want to contribute to the security of individuals who need support in their daily lives while also helping to create a better society? Do you thrive in varied tasks that involve public authority duties? Then you might be our new colleague!

Description

If a person, due to illness, disability, or other circumstances, needs help to safeguard their financial and personal interests in society, this can be managed by a deputy.

The Deputy Authority is a mandatory service within the municipality tasked with overseeing deputies, namely guardians, administrators, and custodians.

Job Responsibilities

The job responsibilities include financial review of documents submitted by guardians and administrators to the Deputy Authority unit. Some cases require deeper scrutiny to ensure that individuals with a guardian or administrator have not lost anything financially or legally. You will be in contact with citizens, banks, and occasionally other authorities via phone, mail, and email. Processing in other areas of the Deputy Authority may become relevant at a later stage.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a university degree in areas such as economics, social sciences, law, or another relevant field, or several years of work experience deemed equivalent by the employer.
• Has experience in professionally engaging with people in various life situations.

It is advantageous if you

• have experience in handling financial reports or similar, or
• have worked with case processing and made decisions affecting individuals.

As a person, you are flexible, service-oriented, humble, have a strong sense of responsibility, and can work both independently and collaboratively. You have the ability to adapt your communication style to your audience and can express yourself well in Swedish, both verbally and in writing. You have a structured approach to work and can handle stress well.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
