The Swedish Armed Forces Special Operations Command is a military strategic resource that increases the number of possible courses of action. An operation with the special forces is characterized by a high effect on the security policy level. It may involve, for example, rescuing or saving Swedish citizens in international service or gathering intelligence. Within the special forces, we strive for simplicity in both planning and execution, unpredictability through unconventional methods, as well as determination, precision, and decisiveness. Readiness is high, and personnel are specially selected, trained, and equipped to carry out their tasks.

Every day and every hour, our employees make contributions that affect other people's lives, both in large and small ways, both at home and around the world.

The Swedish Armed Forces gives you the opportunity to develop as a person and grow in your professional role. We are a responsible employer and have an open organization where we support each other.

In the Swedish Armed Forces, there is a strong value foundation based on openness, results, and responsibility. Professional development and personal health are valued and encouraged. There are good opportunities for internal career mobility, wellness, and a good balance between work and private life.

The Swedish Armed Forces values the qualities that diversity and gender balance bring to the organization. We therefore welcome applicants with different backgrounds and experiences in our recruitment.

An employment with us means placement in a security class. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required. A security clearance with a background check will be conducted before employment in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment also includes an obligation to be placed in wartime. The implications of this vary depending on the type of position.

When applying for employment, a CV and cover letter must be attached. If you proceed in the hiring process, certified copies of diplomas and certificates must always be presented.

Calls from external recruitment companies and sellers are not welcome.
