Vacant job

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

We are looking for migration officers for the Permit Assessment Unit 1 in Västerås.

With us, you will work on current societal issues influenced by what happens in our surroundings. Issues that concern and engage. We offer a dynamic environment characterized by meeting people and continuous learning.

What does a migration officer do?

As a migration officer, you will handle, investigate, decide, and propose decisions in various types of cases. The decisions have legal effects for individuals and affect their rights to benefits, rights, and obligations. Additionally, you will work with administration where you manage records and documents that have been received or created in a case. In your role, you will meet and have conversations with individuals who have cases with the Migration Agency and other stakeholders. The conversations may involve informing about decisions or explaining the Migration Agency's processes, as well as guiding and providing service.

In Permit Assessment Unit 1, cases concerning work permits are handled.

You take responsibility for your tasks, drive your processes forward, and make correct assessments and priorities. Furthermore, you have the ability to make decisions despite limited or complex information and demonstrate judgment in statements and actions. You are flexible and easily adapt and change your perspective and approach in altered circumstances.

In our work as civil servants, high demands are also placed on judgment and a strong awareness of security and confidentiality.
