Do you want to contribute to safety and security in Swedish society? Then you have come to the right place!

We are now looking for a psychologist who wants to be part of a chain where we work together to fulfill our missions, where we all contribute to our own work and take responsibility for each other.

With a focus on quality in everything we do, we build a work environment where everyone can grow and contribute.

At our testing office at Linnéplatsen in Gothenburg, you will have about 65 colleagues who work as senior physicians, psychologists, nurses, administrators, and caseworkers.

Your Responsibilities

As a psychologist with us, your main task will be to interview and assess our candidates in various selection assignments. You will work independently based on our established methods, guidelines, and manuals. The work and methods have a high degree of structure, so it is important that you enjoy a structured way of working.

Your contribution is part of a common testing chain, which means that you do not have scheduled visits but solve the day's assignments in collaboration with others.

We continuously work on follow-up and method and operational development. There may be occasions when you have the opportunity to contribute and participate in that work.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for someone who

• is a psychologist with a license issued by the National Board of Health and Welfare
• has at least a few years of work experience in the profession after completing PTP
• can express themselves well in Swedish, both verbally and in writing

It is an advantage if you have experience in

• clinical assessments
• psychometric testing

Your Personal Qualities

As a psychologist with us, we see that you are self-driven, able to take responsibility for your tasks and drive them forward. We work towards clear goals, so it is important that you have the ability to focus on the goal, but also the ability to change direction if circumstances change.

You can collaborate well with others, being attentive and having a flexible approach. You can communicate clearly and ensure that information and messages are conveyed effectively.

We also see that you have the ability to weigh complex information together and then make correct assessments. It is also important that you can see the bigger picture and take into account the broader perspective.

About the Employment

We offer you a temporary position starting in May 2026 until April 2027, with the possibility of extension.

The employment begins with participation in our two-week internal training in interview and assessment techniques. To work in the organization, a passing result in the training is required. The course may be conducted at the organization's other testing offices (Malmö or Stockholm).

Due to the nature of the work, you cannot work from home, but we hope 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 supplement and up to 35 vacation days depending on age.

Before employment, we conduct a security clearance according to the provisions of the Security Protection Act.

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 value-free recruitment process.
