UN High Commissioner for Refugees · 🇸🇪 Stockholm, Sweden
The Assistant Protection Officer serves as the primary focal point for all protection-related activities concerning Sweden within UNHCR’s Representation for the Nordic and Baltic countries, based in Stockholm. Reporting to the Deputy Representative, the role involves a broad portfolio centered on legal analysis, including drafting legal commentaries, preparing court interventions, and engaging with legal representatives on individual cases. The incumbent ensures compliance with international and national law, conducts eligibility and status determinations for asylum-seekers, and manages individual protection cases, particularly those involving Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and child protection. Key responsibilities include promoting the reduction of statelessness, facilitating durable solutions such as resettlement and local integration, and monitoring reception and detention centers across the country. The role requires extensive liaison with civil society, refugee-led organizations, and authorities to advocate for refugee rights and strengthen national protection frameworks. The incumbent also engages in public speaking, advocacy, and training for partners and stakeholders. While the position is primarily office-based, it requires flexibility for in-country travel to remote locations. The ideal candidate possesses strong legal qualifications, proven experience in the legal field, and fluency in Swedish, with a wide interest in matters concerning forcibly displaced and stateless populations.
