Vacant job

Are you ready for a bigger challenge?

The Swedish Police Authority is Sweden's largest government agency, with approximately 40,700 employees across the country. With us, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the Police's mission to increase safety and reduce crime in society.

The Service Department is one of the Police Authority's national departments and consists of three units with a total of over 720 employees. The department is part of the crime-fighting mission and works with citizen services in the form of, among other things, e-services and reception activities, develops travel documents and service cards, provides public documents and register extracts. The department also handles the agency's administrative matters and the national switchboard, as well as responsibility for the agency's information management. The position of Confidentiality Officer is located at the Public Documents Section. The section consists of six groups that are jointly responsible for registering and handling a significant portion of the requests for public documents received by the Police Authority. The section's groups are geographically located across large parts of the country, from Östersund in the north to Malmö in the south.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The work as a Confidentiality Officer is primarily administrative and mainly involves receiving and handling requests for the release of public documents. This is done by reading and assessing documents stored at the Police Authority to determine if the requested document can be released. You generally work independently and apply a relatively complex regulatory framework with associated urgency requirements. Your tasks also include contacting applicants via email and telephone, and in some cases at physical meetings. The role involves contacts both within the agency and externally. Cooperation and collaboration are therefore an important part of the work.

The work places high demands on the quality of the assessments performed. At the same time, equivalent assessments between different requests are central, and to achieve this, you work together with your colleagues around the country in a continuous improvement and development effort. Other tasks related to the section's mission may also be included in your duties.
