About the job

As a Enforcement Officer (Kronofogde), you work within one or more of the Swedish Enforcement Agency's areas of operation: summary proceedings, enforcement, debt adjustment, and supervision in bankruptcy/reconstruction. You are responsible for the legal quality in the handling of cases. Your work spans several legal areas, primarily insolvency law, execution law, property law, and summary proceedings.

• In summary proceedings, you make qualified legal assessments in cases concerning payment demands, standard assistance, and special assistance.
• In enforcement, you are a natural part of the authority's exercise of power during intervention enforcement measures and are responsible for the executive sale of real estate and housing cooperatives.
• In debt adjustment, you investigate the prerequisites for debt adjustment in review and objection cases and make decisions in complex cases.
• In bankruptcy supervision, you monitor that the bankruptcy administration is carried out correctly and are available to administrators when difficult questions arise. You also work with supervision of business reconstructors.

You also provide daily legal support to other employees, conduct training, perform legal research, make decisions, respond to referrals, and write statements to courts. The role also includes representing the agency in various contexts and answering questions from the public and parties involved.

You will undergo internal training for approximately one year. The training will alternate between theory and practice, applying the law within our various operations. There is both opportunity and expectation to work in the different operational departments over time.

Everyone working at the Swedish Enforcement Agency contributes to the fight against crime. Your tasks include identifying and preventing attempts at criminal activity and notifying other authorities of suspected crimes. As an Enforcement Officer/Trainee Enforcement Officer, you can counter various types of crime by providing legal support to Enforcement Inspectors and case handlers. This can result in you contributing to preventing welfare fraud.

Possible locations are Luleå, Umeå, Östersund, Gävle, Uddevalla, and Visby.

Working in the state means that you follow the government's values. There are also special requirements regarding judgment, security thinking, and that you follow current laws. We ask questions during interviews about previous criminal activity and deficiencies in previous employment. For final candidates, these questions are also asked of reference persons. We also obtain information about debts registered with the Swedish Enforcement Agency, bankruptcy, and business bans. Information obtained is weighed in the overall assessment of your suitability for the current employment.
