JO is looking for legal experts

JO is seeking two or more court assessors from the Court of Appeal or Administrative Court for a fixed-term appointment for a six-year term.

JO's mission is to ensure that those who exercise public authority comply with laws and other regulations. The supervision is particularly focused on ensuring that the constitutional requirements for impartiality and objectivity are observed, as well as that individuals' fundamental rights and freedoms are respected. The primary purpose of JO's activities is to promote legal certainty in public administration. For more information about JO's activities, see www.jo.se.

We have about 90 employees, of which around 70 are lawyers. The organization is divided into four supervisory departments, a unit that supports the ombudsmen in their role as the national visiting authority, and an administrative department. Each supervisory department has two or three department heads responsible for their respective areas, about ten legal or subject matter experts, and two secretaries.

JO offers a varied and intellectually demanding job that involves qualified legal assessments. The work is independent, with individual responsibility for investigations in the cases handled. The tasks mainly consist of investigating complaints from the public and making decisions or proposals for decisions in these cases. It also includes participating in inspections of authorities and drafting opinions on legislative proposals.

The role of legal expert requires high legal competence, including very good analytical skills. You should be able to quickly identify legally relevant issues and have the ability to independently make necessary prioritizations while possessing a high level of performance. You should have excellent verbal and written communication skills. We expect all employees to consider the overall operation and actively contribute to its development.
