The area of Support and Governance works with effective internal support and good internal governance and control. We are developing our operations for a sustainable society. Legal issues, process support, finance, operational governance, personnel matters, competence supply, IT issues, internal services, procurement, and local supply are included in the area of operations.

We are now looking for two lawyers for the Legal Unit at SPSM. We welcome applications from qualified candidates with many years of experience, but for one of the positions, a few years of experience may suffice. The Legal Unit is responsible for providing the agency with support in legal matters, assisting in drafting documents and opinions, and participating in the agency's referral handling. The unit is also responsible for the agency's archive and registration activities.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The job responsibilities involve providing qualified legal support to the agency and working with the agency's referral responses, particularly in the areas of school law and general administrative law. This may also involve providing support when the agency drafts documents and opinions for courts and other authorities, as well as conducting training sessions. Due to the broad legal questions, you will also encounter many legal areas. Other investigations beyond purely legal matters may also occur.

Depending on where you are in your career and experience, the job responsibilities may vary.

Since the agency has offices throughout the country, travel may be required.

Your workplace will either be at the agency's headquarters in Härnösand or in Solna. Other placements can be discussed.
