Do you want to train to become a field bailiff at the Danish Debt Authority?

Do you thrive with independent tasks and responsibilities? And can you meet citizens and businesses who are in a difficult financial situation with both empathy and professionalism? Then it may be you we are looking for.

We are looking for new colleagues who want to train to become a field-based bailiff and help solve an important societal task. With us you get a versatile job with responsibility and professional development. Your work helps ensure correct debt collection and supports fair competition between Danish companies.

Your first tasks

You start primarily with 'screening', where you prepare cases for the field bailiffs and have telephone contact with citizens and business owners. Among other things you must ensure that the collection is conducted on a correct legal basis and analyse company financial statements with a view to relevant collection steps.

From screening to field bailiff

In time you will have the opportunity to take on more of the unit's tasks and develop towards the role of field bailiff. Your training to become a bailiff takes place through a combination of practice and relevant education. You will complete relevant courses on the Diploma in Tax, while building your professional foundation through screening tasks and accompanying an experienced bailiff.

When you are fully trained, you will as a rule drive out to citizens and businesses yourself. The unit is located in Roskilde, but conducts bailiff proceedings across Zealand and the surrounding islands. On field days you can also start and finish the workday from our locations in Fredensborg, Copenhagen and Næstved, where you prepare cases and collect the company car.

Professional commitment and a desire to learn new things

Your background can be different. Perhaps you have experience from a law firm, the financial sector, the auditing industry or a public authority. You may also be (newly) educated Professional Bachelor in e.g. Tax, Finance economist or the like. The most important is that you thrive with case processing and dialogue with citizens and businesses.

We place emphasis on you

• Work in a structured, independent manner with a view to quality and legal certainty
• Can handle different tasks and make professionally grounded decisions
• Are solution- and collaboration-oriented and contribute across the organization
• Can quickly grasp new knowledge and new IT systems
• Communicate professionally and empathetically, both in writing and on the phone

You will come into contact with citizens and businesses who may be in a difficult financial situation. Therefore you must be able to create a constructive dialogue while also being clear and professional in the authority role.

We prepare you well for the role

You will receive a tailored introductory program with instruction in relevant legislation and practical task solving. Along the way you will receive professional sparring and concrete tools that prepare you well for meeting with citizens and businesses, even when conversations are demanding.

To become authorized as a bailiff you complete further education at diploma level within bailiff law and debt collection jurisprudence as well as property law and civil procedure. It is also a requirement that you as a bailiff have a valid driving license (B). We provide a service car when you drive bailiff proceedings.

We continuously follow your professional development through coaching and 1:1 meetings, and provide good opportunities to develop your competencies and become confident in the role.

You will become part of a professionally strong team where we collaborate on common goals, use each other’s competencies and help each other across tasks.
