A job that truly matters! At our organization, you contribute to a well-functioning society for the public and businesses. Our legal unit needs to expand with additional enforcement officer trainees to work with qualified legal matters within various areas of law.
About the Job
As an enforcement officer, you work within one or more of the Enforcement Agency's areas of activity: summary proceedings, enforcement, debt relief, and supervision in bankruptcy/restructuring. You are responsible for the legal quality of case management. Your work spans multiple areas of law, primarily insolvency law, enforcement law, property law, and summary proceedings.
Within summary proceedings, you make qualified legal assessments in cases involving payment orders, ordinary assistance, and special assistance.
Within enforcement, you are an integral part of exercising official authority in enforcement measures and are responsible for executive property and cooperative apartment sales.
Within debt relief, you investigate the prerequisites for debt relief in review and objection cases and make decisions in complex matters.
Within bankruptcy supervision, you monitor that bankruptcy administration is conducted correctly and are available to administrators when difficult questions arise. You also work with supervision of business restructurers.
You also provide daily legal support to other colleagues, conduct training, perform legal investigations, make decisions, respond to referrals, and write opinions to courts. The role also includes representing the agency in various contexts and answering questions from the public and parties.
You will complete internal training for approximately one year. In the training, you will alternate between theory and practice and apply law within our various operations. There is both opportunity and expectation to work in different operational departments over time.
Everyone working at the Enforcement Agency contributes to work against crime. Your work tasks include identifying and preventing attempted crime and notifying other authorities of suspected crimes. As an enforcement officer/trainee, you can, for example, counteract various types of crime by providing legal support to enforcement inspectors and case handlers. This can result in you helping prevent welfare fraud.
Possible placement locations are Luleå, Umeå, Östersund, Gävle, Uddevalla, and Visby.

About Us
The Enforcement Agency is a government authority with an important mission. We work closely with people in vulnerable situations. We help those who have not been paid and guide those who need to pay. We provide citizens and businesses with information and good service so they can make long-term and sustainable decisions. This requires knowledge, initiative, compassion, and courage.

You start your employment as an enforcement officer trainee and after completing training you will receive the title of enforcement officer.

Working in the government means you follow the government value base. Special demands are also placed on judgment, security awareness, and compliance with applicable laws. We ask questions during interviews about any previous criminal activity and deficiencies in previous employment. For final candidates, these questions are also asked to references. We also obtain information about debts registered with the Enforcement Agency, bankruptcy, and business prohibitions. The information obtained is weighed in the overall assessment of your suitability for the position.
Employment with us may involve placement in a security classification. A security clearance with register check according to the Security Protection Act (2018:585) may therefore be conducted before an employment decision is made.
