We are now recruiting staff for the Public Guardianship Unit. Do you want to become part of our team and make a significant difference in the daily lives of vulnerable people?

Your role with us

As a Public Guardianship Case Officer, you have a broad scope of responsibility that includes both independent legal assessments and practical case handling. You work to ensure that the public guardianship authority follows the laws and guidelines that govern guardianship, trusteeship, and curatorship. This means you have an important responsibility for upholding legal certainty and ensuring that individuals receive the support and protection they are entitled to.

A large part of the work as a Public Guardianship Case Officer involves exercising supervision and handling cases concerning persons who have or are in need of a guardian or trustee.

In relevant cases, independently investigate and present cases in the District Court and decision-makers (Board/Public Guardian). Together with others within the operation, you drive overarching development issues. You should be accustomed to independently reading and interpreting legal texts and case law.

The role involves a varying work pace with varied tasks and personal responsibility.

Who are we looking for?

We want you to have an academic degree (180 ECTS/120 credits) with a focus on economics, law, social work, or another focus combined with experience that the employer finds equivalent. You have experience from independent investigative work as well as experience from independently interpreting laws and regulations. It is desirable that you have experience of working within a municipal or state organization. Particularly meritorious is experience from previous work within Public Guardianship operations, work with economic accounting. We would like you to have knowledge of the laws and regulations applicable to the operation.

Since communication and documentation are part of the tasks, very good skills in Swedish, both spoken and written, are required. You handle IT tools as a natural part of your work, and we would like you to have worked in Wärna and Evolution, which are our case and diary systems.

As a person, you have the ability to apply specialized and detailed expert knowledge and can convey this to others in a pedagogical way. We want you to be good at analyzing and assessing different types of information to draw well-thought-out conclusions and create functioning solutions. Following instructions, processes, and statutory requirements is a prerequisite for the role, as is being able to adhere to schedules.
