Vacant job

Do you want to help build a modern and secure system for guardianship in Sweden? MFoF is now looking for an investigator with a focus on supervisory guidance for our new department for guardianship issues.

The government has considered through the proposition "A Guardianship You Can Trust 2025/26:92" to give MFoF a new, overarching state responsibility for the country's guardianship activities. The assignment is part of a comprehensive reform aimed at strengthening the position of individuals, improving the quality of services, and ensuring that people in need of assistance receive legally secure support based on their own will and well-being.

• Establishing and managing a national guardianship register that simplifies eligibility checks for banks and authorities and streamlines the suitability assessments of guardianship authorities.
• Being responsible for the official statistics in the area to enable deeper analysis and follow-up of the activities nationally.
