Job Responsibilities

We are looking for a lawyer to join the unit Independent Operations and Supervision!

The unit Independent Operations and Supervision is part of the Department of Governance and Leadership at the Preschool Administration. We have fifteen employees with various professions such as law, pedagogy, etc. The unit exercises supervision, handles applications to start new independent preschool operations and individual pedagogical care, and decides on additional fees, etc. Furthermore, the unit's mandate includes providing information, advice, and guidance to independent operations. Gothenburg currently has approximately 160 independent preschools and about 20 independent operations providing individual pedagogical care.

As one of the unit's lawyers will be on parental leave, we are now seeking a temporary replacement. The role involves handling and investigating the prerequisites and legal compliance for individual operations. The lawyer's main responsibilities include, among other things, investigating the owners' insight, financial prerequisites, and suitability to run independent preschools and pedagogical care through ownership and management assessments. The ownership and management assessment is part of the licensing and supervision process and concerns both new applications and existing operations. This assessment involves evaluating the owner's insight into school regulations, current association forms, economics, labor law, and work environment. The owner's financial prerequisites and the personal suitability of the ownership and management circle are also investigated, such as potential financial mismanagement and presence in criminal registers. The work includes investigating unscrupulous actors. Legislation that may be relevant in these investigations includes, among others, the Annual Accounts Act, the Bookkeeping Act, the Companies Act, and the Act on Economic Associations. We work in a team-based manner, meaning several people collaborate on each case, and our different competencies complement each other.

Other tasks that also occur include writing decisions and service opinions, writing statements to the administrative court in the event of an appeal of decisions made within the area, assisting in the interpretation of the law in various assessment situations, conducting confidentiality reviews when releasing documents, and serving as an advisor and guide in relation to independent operations.

We work in pleasant premises at Gamlestads Torg 5, which is easily accessible by bus and tram. At our office, we work based on an activity-based working method, which gives greater freedom to choose workspaces based on tasks.
