Other professional groups apart from prosecutors also work for the Swedish Prosecution Authority.
In addition to prosecutors, prosecution secretaries and senior administrative officers also work at public prosecution offices. A considerable proportion of the administrative work consists of case handling, or in other words registering and coding the cases that the prosecutors are working on. There are advanced computer programs for this purpose.
Senior administrative officers direct the administrative work of the public prosecution offices and are part of the office management.
At the Office of the Prosecutor-General, a number of different professions and functions are represented. The central support units, i.e. personnel, communication, economy, planning, training and IT, are located at the Office of the Prosecutor-General in Stockholm.

How does the recruitment process work?
Recruitment process for administrative staff

After the interviews, the Prosecution Authority takes references and decides on who is to be appointed.
