Enrollment Officer at the National Duty and Assessment Agency

We ensure that the right people are in the right place – in defense and in essential societal roles.

We are looking for someone who wants to contribute to Sweden's security! Are you the one we are looking for?

Our enrollment officers are part of a decision-making chain where we make official decisions regarding enrollment for basic military training or civil duty. The decisions include both those who have been called for conscription and those who have submitted their own applications to try for basic military training.

In Malmö, we are located in nice premises close to the city center and just a stone's throw from the central station.

Your Responsibilities

In the role of enrollment officer, you will meet young adults who are guided in discussions about their opportunities to undergo basic training based on the Armed Forces' position requirements. As an officer, you will make independent decisions about training places and investigate cases concerning those liable for total defense. You will be the contact person for one or more units that train the soldiers and sailors that you and your future colleagues have made decisions about. As a contact person, you will visit units and participate in planning for expanded conscription and often be present during the implementation.

In addition to those being conscripted and assessed, you will also work with individuals undergoing assessments for other assignments.

Your workplace is at the assessment unit in Malmö within the enrollment unit. A corresponding unit also exists in Stockholm and Gothenburg, and in the fall of 2026, a unit will also be established in Umeå.

We have a friendly atmosphere and a strong loyalty towards our employees within the enrollment unit for basic training and the entire agency. To create a sense of community, there may sometimes be rotation shifts with your colleagues at the four (soon to be five) other locations.

Your Qualifications

You are or have been employed as a professional officer or specialist officer with good, current knowledge of the Armed Forces' areas of work and regulations.

It is advantageous if you have trained soldiers or worked with staffing issues within the Armed Forces and have knowledge of the duties of various positions.

Your Personal Qualities

For this task, you need to be attentive and have an easy time communicating with people from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. You enjoy collaborating but also take responsibility for planning and structuring your own work.

About the Employment

As an officer, you retain your employment in the Armed Forces during the time you are employed at the National Duty and Assessment Agency under what is called a professional officer at another authority, YAM. We offer a fixed-term employment of up to three years, which can be extended for an additional three-year period.

If you no longer have an employment as an officer in the Armed Forces, you will be offered a permanent position within the National Duty and Assessment Agency, starting with a six-month probationary period.

Due to the nature of the work, you cannot work from home, but we hope that this can instead contribute to a clearer division between work and leisure. You have the opportunity to train during work hours and are offered a favorable wellness allowance. We also offer parental leave supplements and up to 35 vacation days depending on age.

The employment is security classified, and therefore we conduct a security review with a background check according to the provisions of the Security Protection Act. In some cases, Swedish citizenship is required.

With employment comes an obligation to be placed in a war position.

We welcome applicants with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to reflect the society we operate in. We look forward to receiving your application!

To apply to us, you do not need to write a personal letter. Instead, we have chosen to focus on selection questions and your CV for a non-discriminatory recruitment process.
