About the Position

Security guards work with the surveillance of critical facilities, where the demand for security is maximum. As a security guard, you will work to provide safety to our customers at sites that are crucial to the nation's security. This may include, among other things, access control, escorting, reception services, and patrols.

Qualifications

To work as a security guard, you need to be security-conscious, service-oriented, empathetic, and have an inner sense of security along with a natural drive to help. You should be able to combine good service with a pronounced security mindset and have good communication and collaboration skills.

Requirements for Applicants:

• High school education with passing grades in Swedish and English
• Good Swedish in speech and writing
• Driving license B

Preferred Qualifications:

• Valid (not older than five years) security guard training (civil or military*)
• Guard basic training (VU1 + VU2)
• Weapon training

We place great importance on your personal maturity when assessing suitability for the position.

The positions are classified in a security class, which is why a security clearance will be conducted and why Swedish citizenship is a requirement for all positions.

Additionally, you must be without a criminal record**, drug-free, have organized finances, and good health and fitness to be employed at Avarn Security. To work as a security guard, a security guard approval from the County Administrative Board is also required (we will handle that application).

* If you have completed security guard training during military basic training, it is valid for civilian use as well. The training must have been completed in 2016 or later, and the certificate must not be older than 5 years. If you have a security guard training from the Armed Forces without military basic training, you will need to complete a shortened security guard training to work as a civilian security guard.

** All personnel at an authorized security company must be approved based on compliance with the law, civic reliability, and suitability in other respects. For the approval authority's assessment of a person's compliance with the law and civic reliability, information from the criminal record or suspicion register or information processed by the Security Police under the law on police processing of personal data within the crime data law area will be obtained.
