Lawyer responsible for, among other things, the Rent Tribunal

Are you interested in working with legal case processing at the intersection of housing law, administrative law and municipal administration? Do you thrive with independent responsibility, legal depth and dialogue with citizens and professional actors? Then you may be our new lawyer.

We are seeking a lawyer for Team Jura, where you will be responsible for the secretariat support of the municipality's Rent Tribunal. You will also take over the chairmanship of the tribunal when you are ready for it. You will thus become a central player in the handling of cases concerning rental relations, housing improvements, maintenance and disputes between tenants and landlords in the private sector.

There is also an opportunity to perform the corresponding function for the Tenant Complaint Board, which handles disputes in the social/public housing sector.

In addition, you will become a legal sparring partner for managers and employees who work with the specialized adult area, particularly within the Social Service Act, the Health Act and the Legal Security Act.

Team Jura

In the Municipality of Helsingør we have gathered the legal advice in Team Jura at the historic town hall in Helsingør's cozy town center. Here we advise the entire organization on administrative law, good case handling and legal issues across the municipality's areas of responsibility.

Team Jura consists of four lawyers with strong professional competencies and close collaboration. We work independently within our respective areas of responsibility, but place a high value on sparring, knowledge sharing and professional development. You report to the head of the Policy and Legal Affairs Staff, who is also a lawyer.

The tasks in Team Jura evolve continuously in line with the organization’s needs and the legal issues that arise. Therefore you will also have the opportunity to contribute to other legal tasks across the municipality, depending on your skills and interests. The internal distribution of tasks and case areas is continuously adjusted according to your and your colleagues’ wishes and competencies.
