The labor market is changing at an ever-increasing pace

We are now looking for you who want to help ensure good member service and efficient handling of cases at Kommunal's unemployment insurance fund!

About the position

As a benefits officer, you will play a central role in providing service to our members by handling cases, staffing the phone, and responding to messages. The role is part of the local units of the unemployment insurance fund and is an important part of our production operations. You will be part of a team where you work together to achieve set production and operational goals.

Main responsibilities

• Efficient and legally secure handling of various types of cases in our case management system, Våra Sidor.
• Service and guidance to members and authorities in phone calls and through responses to messages from members.

Who are you?

At Kommunal's unemployment insurance fund, we always focus on the member, and you are expected to be professional, credible, empathetic, and engaged.

Your analytical ability allows you to effectively handle complex problems and situations. You manage a lot of information and need to be able to determine what is important to reach decisions. You are a skilled communicator who can explain even difficult topics clearly, both verbally and in writing. You are structured and efficient in your work, have the ability to shift focus between different tasks without losing quality, and enjoy collaborating and working towards goals while focusing on results.

You need to be open to the fact that working methods may change and develop based on the digitalization occurring throughout society and must have the ability to take responsibility for learning new technology, new working methods, and new information. We also welcome your contributions of ideas and innovative thinking.

You handle and make decisions based on applicable legislation and practice, and the decisions have a significant impact on our members, making it important for you to distinguish between the professional and the personal.

We are looking for someone who has

• Post-secondary education of at least 120 higher education credits with a legal, social science, or behavioral science orientation, or other relevant post-secondary education combined with relevant documented experience for the position, such as working as a case officer for benefits cases within unemployment insurance.
• Good IT skills and ease in navigating various technical environments.
• The ability to communicate fluently in Swedish in both speech and writing. We work with clear language, which means we convert complex legal concepts into clear, understandable, and correct texts for our members.

• If you have experience making decisions according to the law on unemployment insurance and the law on unemployment funds.
• Knowledge in interpreting and applying legal texts.

What do we offer you?

We see recruitment as an investment and believe it is important that you, as an employee, feel comfortable and are given the opportunity to develop your talents. From the autumn of 2025, a completely new unemployment insurance will apply, which means an exciting development for our operations. As a new case officer, you will quickly have the opportunity to, and are expected to, contribute to providing our members with service and guidance, initially through more basic tasks.

As time goes on, you will gradually build on your knowledge and broaden your competence, with the goal of eventually being able to handle all the types of cases included in the role of benefits officer. Training will take place internally over time and will be mixed with case handling and contributions to our production. If you are already a trained unemployment insurance officer and have experience working in our case management system, Våra Sidor, an individual plan will be created for you.

We offer you a good working environment with engaged colleagues in a team organization where we support each other and together drive our work forward towards our operational goals. In our workplace, there is an empathetic and permissive environment where we value transparency and clear communication. Here you work with freedom under responsibility, and remote work is possible, of course, as long as it suits the business.

In our offices, around 30 employees work in pleasant premises, and you will be part of one of our teams of case officers.

We offer generous benefits such as

• Weekly working hours of 37.5 hours.
• Opportunity to work from home part of the time.
• 32 vacation days and 3 personal days.
• Lunch benefit.
