The Duty and Assessment Agency is establishing itself in Umeå!

Do you want to be part of it from the beginning? We are now looking for a functionally responsible psychologist to help start our new assessment office in Umeå.

At the assessment units, senior physicians, psychologists, nurses, and administrators work together with our case handlers. In total, we will be about 60 colleagues in Umeå working together to achieve our goals.

In the role of psychologist, you will:

• conduct occupational psychological selections by interviewing, assessing, and testing conscripts during enlistment and individuals applying for education and employment primarily within the Armed Forces and the Police Authority.

Our working methods are based on scientific principles and proven experience, which means we make selections with high quality to ensure the right person is in the right place with the right responsibility.

We are looking for someone who can take responsibility for tasks, work in a structured manner, and drive processes forward. It is also important that you can organize and prioritize work effectively. You enjoy working independently under responsibility.
