Process Driver for the Administrative Process Unit in Gothenburg

At the Swedish Migration Agency, we work with one of the major societal issues of our time – migration. We are approximately 6,000 people here, and we have an unusually important job!

We are looking for a process driver for the Administrative Process Unit in Gothenburg.

We are seeking you who are a skilled lawyer with experience in qualified legal work. With us, you will work on current societal issues influenced by what is happening in our environment. Issues that concern and engage. We offer an exciting legal environment characterized by a large and changing area of law with complex legislation. The Administrative Process Unit handles appeals from individuals who have been denied their residence permit applications and examines whether there are obstacles to enforcing a decision on expulsion or deportation. The unit represents the Migration Agency in negotiations at the Migration Court in Gothenburg and contributes to the overall legal quality of the Migration Agency.

What does a process driver do?

As a process driver, your main task is to represent the Migration Agency in court reviews of immigration cases by writing statements and participating in oral hearings. You prepare by familiarizing yourself with the case, both regarding legal matters and by finding other relevant information that may affect the outcome of the case. During oral hearings, you represent the agency's interests and quickly assess all information presented during the hearing.

In your role, you act as a decision-maker in urgent cases regarding enforcement obstacles that come to the unit. Your work includes reviewing the Police Authority's decisions on expulsion and re-entry bans. You will also work on conducting certain types of investigations in cases, for example, regarding individuals who have been granted a new review and work in the administrative process's on-call operations. The unit also handles cases concerning individuals who have been deported due to crimes. The pace of work can be intense at times, and you often need to make decisions under time pressure.

We work with a team-based approach in a dynamic legal environment where you participate in legal discussions with your colleagues in the unit and contribute to the agency's overall legal quality. We also offer the possibility of partial remote work.
