About the Job

The work involves investigating, registering, and making decisions on various population registration cases. Some cases are simple and quick while others take more time. You will request additional information via phone, mail, and digital mailboxes in contact with individuals and public actors. With the support of laws and regulations, you will assess the documentation and make decisions. The cases you handle require speed and efficiency. You will meet people from different backgrounds via phone and written correspondence. The job involves many contacts, for example with customers and other authorities.

You will receive an introduction and a supervisor who will help you plan your work. You will then independently manage your cases and collaborate with others. The work involves handling different types of cases, and you will learn and gain new knowledge both broadly and deeply. We have flexible working hours, and it is a given for us that you should have a balance between work and leisure.

You will belong to the Population and Property Department and work in Population and Property Unit 5. Your placement is in Luleå.
