The Civil Affairs Department is involved in all the major milestones in our residents’ lives: births, marriages, moves, deaths, and immigration. You ensure that these events are recorded in the Basic Registry of Persons (BRP) in a legally correct, careful, and reliable manner. And that is of the utmost importance! The BRP is, in fact, the backbone of the government. Dozens of organizations rely on this data every day. Your work ensures that residents receive what they are entitled to, and that the government can rely on accurate information.

In this role, you will combine subject-matter expertise with leadership, quality assurance, and process improvement. You will serve as the key subject-matter expert within the Civil Affairs cluster and act as an important sounding board for the team manager. 

The challenge you face

Civil affairs is undergoing rapid change. But we don't need to tell you that. Legislation is changing, digitization is advancing rapidly, and the demands for quality and reliability are constantly rising.

You ensure that the cluster not only keeps pace with this trend, but leads the way.

You’ll ensure the quality of the BRP, translate laws and regulations into practical applications, and share your knowledge with your colleagues. You’ll make sure that everything is in order from a legal, administrative, and organizational standpoint.

Your responsibilities:

• Updating, correcting, and reviewing complex BRP files, initial registrations, and civil registry records
• Monitoring the quality and reliability of the BRP, in collaboration with the specialists
• Applying and Interpreting the BRP Act, IPR, and Awb in Daily Practice
• Overseeing the annual BRP self-evaluation, drafting and implementing action items
• Drafting and updating ordinances and regulations
• Handling Objections and Complaints

In short, a very challenging and varied position within a municipality that is rapidly developing!
