Do you want to work with qualified public authority administration in an activity that makes a real difference for people? As a guardian authority case handler, you will receive a responsible and meaningful assignment where you contribute to security, legal certainty, and good service.
The Guardian Authority Unit operates on behalf of the guardian authority board – a municipal supervisory authority with an important societal mission. Our task is to ensure that persons who, due to illness, disability, or similar circumstances, need support, have their rights protected and do not risk being disadvantaged economically or legally. The activity is governed by the Parent Code and is characterized by legal certainty, quality, and professional conduct.
The Guardian Authority Unit in the Umeå region (ÖFUR) is the administrative, preparatory, and executive organization for guardians in Umeå, Bjurholm, Nordmaling, Robertsfors, Vindeln, Vännäs, and Örnsköldsvik municipalities. The unit has offices in Umeå and Örnsköldsvik.
We are now seeking a case handler based at the office in Örnsköldsvik!
Your Work Tasks
As a case handler at the Guardian Authority Unit, you will work with qualified public authority administration. Your assignment is to ensure that guardians, administrators, and trustees fulfill their duties in accordance with applicable legislation and that the individual's rights are protected.
The work as a case handler at the Guardian Authority Unit includes, among other things:
- Handle cases concerning guardianship, administration, and trusteeship
- Investigate and make decisions according to delegation
- Investigate and prepare cases for board decisions
- Prepare statements for courts and other authorities
- Review representatives' administration and, if necessary, take supervisory measures
- Provide support, guidance, and training to representatives
- Maintain contact with principals, relatives, social services, health care, banks, and other cooperation partners
- Participate in developing and ensuring quality of the unit's processes and procedures
About You
We are looking for someone who thrives in an activity where the pace is sometimes high and the workday varies. You work independently, take responsibility for your cases, and have the ability to make decisions within your assignment. You are structured and find it easy to plan and prioritize your work, while remaining flexible when new tasks and changed conditions arise. Since several cases are often ongoing in parallel, you need to feel comfortable handling multiple processes simultaneously and following them over time. You have a good ability to adapt to the unit's needs and thrive in a role where no two days are alike.
To thrive and succeed in the role, we see that you have high integrity, professional conduct, and a strong focus on legal certainty. You communicate clearly and respectfully, find it easy to create trusting relationships, and enjoy a role with many contact points. As a person, you are solution-focused and contribute to a positive work environment. Since we are a small work group at the office in Örnsköldsvik, it is important that you appreciate cooperation and contribute to good team spirit. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
Requirements
- University degree in law, economics, social work, or other education and experience that the employer deems equivalent
- Several years of work experience with qualified public authority administration within municipal or state operations
- Very good ability to express yourself in speech and writing in Swedish
It is meritorious if you have experience from previous work within Guardian Authority operations or if you have prior experience with practical legal application or other supervisory work.
Welcome with your application!
