Would you like to be a caseworker in the Agency for International Recruitment and Integration's unit in Nuuk, Greenland?

We are looking for two new colleagues who will help ensure professionally strong handling of applications for residence and work permits for foreigners in Greenland, as well as concrete guidance for both employees and employers in our citizen center in Nuuk.

About the position

You will become part of our unit in Nuuk, which opened in autumn 2025, where you will have the opportunity to influence both case handling and citizen service in this unit. We are currently staffed with five skilled employees and a unit manager.

As our new colleague you will be part of a unit where our shared goal is to ensure efficient workflows so that we can make correct decisions within the set service targets and to provide professional and concrete guidance to both employees and employers.

• a focus on your well-being and a healthy work-life balance with the possibility of flexible arrangements with flextime

In SIRI we have an informal tone, and we are characterized by a strong collegial and social community across the agency. The cohesion in SIRI is great, and we will also focus on it despite the geographic distance between SIRI Valby and SIRI Nuuk.
