Are you ready for a bigger task?

The Swedish Police Authority is Sweden's largest authority with approximately 40,700 employees across the country. With us, you have the opportunity to contribute to the Police's mission to increase safety and reduce crime in society.

Police Region North is the largest region in terms of area. The region consists of the four northernmost counties in Sweden and is organized into four police areas: Jämtland, Norrbotten, Västerbotten, and Västernorrland, which are further divided into 12 local police areas. Additionally, there are three regional units: the operational unit, the intelligence unit, and the investigation unit, a regional office, and national departments represented in the region to support police operations.

The Jämtland police area is divided into two local police areas: LPO Östersund and LPO Jämtland/Härjedalen. At the police area level, there is an investigation section and a police area office. Within each local police area, there are intervention and crime prevention activities, investigation groups, as well as support and service.

The service office is the face of the Police Authority and often the first contact for the public - an important point of contact. The operation is both an authority exercise and a service function with accessibility for both external and internal service. Serving as an administrator in the reception is a significant job in strengthening trust in police operations by having commitment, quality, and security in the handling of cases combined with efficiency.

The position is a summer temporary job during the period from June to August. There may also be opportunities for extension of hours before and after this period.

RESPONSIBILITIES

As a summer temporary employee at our service office, you will have an important role within the framework of the police's service mission. You will assist the public and, among other things, work with police authority matters in the reception. You will be the authority's face to the public and perhaps the visitor's first contact with the police.

Main responsibilities:

  • Process passport and identity card applications

Other common tasks may include:

  • Receive and register reports from the public
  • Handle lost property
  • Release confiscated items
  • Receive permit documents and submitted weapons
  • Additional tasks may arise as the inflow of cases can vary greatly.

A prerequisite for starting work as an administrator at the service office is that you are approved and certified in the mandatory internal training that begins in the first two weeks.

Working hours are primarily scheduled during the day.

There may be work at another location within the police area.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who has:

  • Completed high school education or equivalent knowledge acquired in another way
  • Relevant work experience in service and administration that includes personal contacts deemed relevant by the employer for the position
  • Good computer skills and ease in learning new IT systems
  • Good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written
  • Driver's license B

It is advantageous if you also:

  • Have relevant experience working within the police, another authority, or public administration that the employer assesses as relevant for the position
  • Are a police student
  • Have knowledge/skills regarding police data systems such as RES, lost property, PÄR, and Durtvå
  • Have experience handling legal documents
  • Have relevant experience working in a reception with physical customer contacts that the employer assesses as relevant for the position
  • Master additional languages besides Swedish and English

Personal qualities

As an administrator at our service office, there are demands for commitment, availability, and efficiency. As the pace of work varies, we believe that you are a person who thrives and is driven by this, while it does not affect your accuracy or customer interaction. We further believe that you have a service-oriented and flexible approach as well as good collaboration skills. Since the work is outward-facing and involves daily contact with people, we place great importance on your communication skills. You also need to be responsible and have the ability to create structure, prioritize, and organize your work.

We will place great emphasis on personal suitability.
