Information about the Armed Forces and the Recruiting Unit:

The Armed Forces is undergoing extensive development work to build a stronger defense in light of a deteriorating security situation and a new defense policy direction focusing on national defense. Leadership for a stronger defense aims to increase robustness, simplify command and obedience relationships, and through decentralization of mandates and responsibilities, increase the conditions for mission tactics.

As part of this work, the Armed Forces has organized a Naval Staff for the leadership of the Naval units. The Naval Staff is established in Muskö, Haninge Municipality.

In the Armed Forces, there is a strong value foundation based on openness, results, and responsibility. Professional development and personal health are valued and encouraged. There are good opportunities for internal career mobility, wellness, and a good balance between work and private life.

Employment with us means placement in a security class. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required. A security clearance with a background check will be conducted before employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment also includes an obligation to be assigned to war. The implications of this vary depending on the type of position.

When applying for employment, a CV and a cover letter must be attached. If you progress in the hiring process, certified copies of grades and certificates must always be presented.

Calls from external recruitment companies and salespeople are not welcome.
