Workplace Description

On December 1, 2025, a Legal Department was established at IVO – an important initiative where the department will strengthen and develop the agency's legal work. The Legal Department works with legal support in supervision and permit assessments, as well as cross-agency legal matters.

There are just over 50 employees on the department, distributed across three units and a support staff. The department head is also IVO's Chief Legal Counsel.

IVO contributes to safe and secure healthcare and social care

IVO stands for commitment and broad knowledge of Swedish healthcare and social care. We review, draw lessons, and work to make healthcare and social care better and safer – always with a focus on patients and users.

The agency has approximately 800 employees. Supervision is conducted at six regional departments across the country, while permit assessment, analysis, planning, communication, and operational support are located in Stockholm, as is the Director General's support staff.

Phone calls from external recruitment agencies and salespeople are declined.
