Vacant job

Every day, hundreds of cases and matters are decided in the courts across Sweden. Our organization consists of employees with various competencies, each of whom is significant in maintaining legal security and high quality at all levels.

To ensure an inclusive and fair recruitment process, the Swedish Courts apply competency-based recruitment. Our selection is based on candidates' competencies and merits. We kindly but firmly request no direct contact with staffing and recruitment companies or sellers of additional job advertisements.

The Göta Court of Appeal is one of the country's six courts of appeal, and our main task is to review cases and matters that have been appealed from the district courts within the jurisdiction. The jurisdiction includes the district courts in Örebro, Norrköping, Linköping, Skaraborg, Växjö, Kalmar, Eksjö, and Jönköping.

At the Göta Court of Appeal, there are three adjudicating departments, one preparation department, and two main hearing departments. The preparation department includes our secretariat, and there is also an administrative unit. Our workplace is characterized by an open and welcoming climate with a total of just over 110 employees. The court's operations are conducted in a new courthouse building with bright and fresh facilities by the shores of Munksjön in central Jönköping.
