Case Officer for Disclosure of Public Documents

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is growing – we are building new facilities, renovating, and expanding, and we are now looking for more employees. Our most important goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the vicious cycle. If we succeed, society becomes safer and more secure for everyone. We are the authority responsible for prisons, probation, detention centers, and client transport.

The Legal Department at the Swedish Prison and Probation Service consists of four units, where case officers for the disclosure of public documents belong to the Unit for Information Management. The disclosure function has a close relationship with the registry, and we see it as a positive if you have education or experience in registry work.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a case officer, you will handle cases regarding the disclosure of public documents and the confidentiality assessment of these. Your tasks include searching, copying, and dispatching documents, administering fee collection, and managing registered cases. You will prepare proposals for decisions regarding the disclosure of information. The job also involves responding to inquiries from the public by phone to some extent. The work as a case officer is independent and varied, involving ongoing contacts with the public, other authorities, and other parts of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's operations.

It is crucial to be meticulous and aware of goals and quality standards.

It is important to us that you share the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's fundamental values of a humane view of humanity, respect for the individual, and belief in the individual's will and ability to develop.

Furthermore, you are expected to contribute to ensuring that everyone is treated equally through your approach. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
