Your working day. Sweden's tomorrow.

The duties primarily involve the processing of cases concerning national minorities. As a case officer, you will independently drive processes, prepare cases, and draft materials for political leadership. The work includes analysis, development work, and follow-up of the unit's issues. It may become relevant to work with preparations for and participation in international meetings within the framework of, for example, the EU and the Council of Europe. Administrative tasks occur. The tasks sometimes need to be carried out under time pressure, so you should enjoy working in conditions where you must be prepared for the unexpected.

The work takes place in continuous and close dialogue with both your manager and the ministry's leadership, as well as colleagues within the ministry. You will also have a dialogue with other ministries, agencies, and organizations within civil society. We offer a job that is developmental and varied with many contact surfaces.
