Central to our vision is that all children, students, and adult learners are given the opportunity to develop to their full potential based on their individual circumstances. Through inspection, we play an important and driving role in achieving equity and good knowledge outcomes in Swedish schools. Our activities include supervision, quality reviews, and licensing assessments for independent schools. We are located in Gothenburg, Linköping, Lund, Stockholm, and Umeå. Gothenburg, Linköping, and Lund are part of Region South, while Stockholm and Umeå are part of Region North. The main office with all support functions is located in Stockholm.
We are seeking
An experienced, skilled lawyer with broad expertise who wants to work close to operations and provide qualified legal support on issues important to the agency's mission and development. With us, you will have a central role where you guide managers and investigators in complex and principled matters that contribute to well-founded decisions.
The Workplace
The position is located in Umeå and is part of the regional management team. Work is conducted in close collaboration with other regional lawyers as well as with other lawyers, unit managers, and investigators at the School Inspectorate. You report to the Deputy Regional Manager but also work closely with the Regional Manager, with responsibility for preparing principled cases and sanction cases before decisions are made.

Job Responsibilities
An important part of the assignment is translating legal knowledge into practical support for regional management, unit managers, and investigators. You follow developments in the legal field, inform about new legislation and case law, and contribute to raising legal expertise within the region. You thereby become a key person for both legal application and knowledge development within the agency.
As a regional lawyer in Region North, you work in a support function primarily handling matters within school law but also other legislation within administrative law. You will have the opportunity to influence legal application at the agency. By supporting operations in principled and guiding matters, you contribute to lawful decisions, develop the agency's practice, and ensure consistent application of regulations. This role gives you a unique opportunity to combine qualified legal work with a concrete contribution to the School Inspectorate's important societal mission.

It is beneficial if you have:
Current experience and knowledge of school law
Experience in supervisory activities

To succeed in this role, you need to be independent, confident in your professional role, and have good self-awareness. You have the ability to quickly identify and analyze the core legal issue and a good ability to make relevant limitations and prioritizations. You are pragmatic, solution-oriented, operationally focused, and confident in your own assessments, with trust in others' professional responsibility and expertise. You have excellent ability to express yourself clearly, accessibly, and correctly in both speech and writing. You can convey legal positions to others in a pedagogical manner.
