Administrative employee for the Case Secretariat, Nuuk

Do you want to help create structure, quality, and good workflows in the police's handling of criminal cases? Are you motivated by administrative tasks, quality assurance, and the opportunity to influence the development of a newly established section? Then you might be our new administrative employee in the Case Secretariat at Greenland Police.

Start date: 01.02.2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Greenland Police

Greenland Police employs approximately 430 staff, of which about 200 are police-trained, 130 are civilians, and 90 are reserve officers and municipal clerks.

The police station in Nuuk is Greenland's largest and houses several specialized units, including the Investigation Department, Emergency Department, Operations Support Unit, Police Professional Strategy and Development, and Police Professional Special Department.

At Greenland Police, you become part of an organization with an important societal task. We have high professionalism, a strong collegial community, and an informal tone.
We help each other both internally in the departments and across the organization, just as we prioritize well-being, collaboration, and professional development.

About the Case Secretariat

The Case Secretariat is a newly established section under the Police Professional Special Department and is therefore still under construction and development. You will have the opportunity to be part of this process and contribute to shaping the section's future workflows and collaboration interfaces.

The section is initially expected to consist of one leader and four to five employees.

The purpose of the section is to support Greenland Police's handling of criminal cases through good case processes and procedures. The section will also handle the follow-up of completed investigations.

The tasks will primarily consist of case visitation, quality assurance, as well as police and prosecution professional and administrative follow-up on certain criminal cases.

Your primary tasks

Your primary tasks will depend on competencies and the section's needs, but will include:

• Administrative finalization of resolved criminal cases

• Development and implementation of new workflows based on a practical approach

• Completion and notification of affected parties in criminal cases

• Digitization of physical criminal cases

• Other administrative support for the section's tasks

About you

We are looking for a colleague who can contribute with professionalism, structure, and new perspectives.

We envision that you:

• Have a relevant education, for example in public administration, TNI, AU, social sciences, or another related field

• Are adaptable and eager to contribute to the development of the section's workflows and collaboration with other departments

• Are proactive and have a positive attitude

• Have good collaboration skills and can work independently as well as closely with other employees in the organization

• Can translate knowledge into practice and help implement new workflows

• Master both Danish and Greenlandic. This is an advantage, but not a requirement

It is an advantage if you have experience from the police, but the most important thing is that you are eager to learn, take responsibility for your tasks, and contribute positively to the work community.

We offer
At the Case Secretariat, you will receive:

• A challenging and exciting job in an organization with significant societal importance

• A dynamic workplace with a broad contact surface, professional collaboration, and a high degree of responsibility

• The opportunity to influence the development of a newly established section

• The opportunity for professional development

• A strong collegial community where collaboration, initiative, and new perspectives are welcome

Salary and employment terms are determined based on your education and qualifications according to the relevant collective agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the negotiating organization.

It is a prerequisite for employment that you can be security cleared at the necessary level for the position. You may also be required to perform functions that require a higher security clearance.
