Our mission is to support I 21 with defense medical capability and continuously work on developing goals and methods to support the operations. The work is based on all three health perspectives: promoting, preventive, and rehabilitative.

You will work in a multidisciplinary team consisting of nurses, physiotherapists, medical secretaries, occupational safety engineers, psychologists, doctors, and managers.

Försvarshälsan offers you a stimulating, varied, and developing job as a doctor in a forward-moving organization. As an employee with us, you will have access to an attractive benefits package, including three hours of training during work hours. We have favorable vacation terms.

About the Position

We are in a phase where we are building and developing our working methods, and therefore the opportunities to influence are significant. This requires initiative from you as an employee.

For us, the team and participation are among the most important factors for developing the workplace.

The organization is growing, which requires a flexible working style and a willingness to develop the operations. Försvarshälsan has many partners within the garrison and the defense medicine area, so we are looking for someone who is communicative and has good collaboration skills.
