The Swedish National Board of Recruitment and Assessment is now looking for psychologists for both permanent positions and temporary contracts.

As a psychologist with us, you will conduct occupational psychological assessments by interviewing, evaluating, and testing individuals liable for total defense during enlistment, as well as those seeking education and employment primarily within the Armed Forces and the Police Authority.

We are located in nice premises in Gärdet, Stockholm, close to the subway.

Your Responsibilities

Our working methods are based on scientific principles and proven experience, which means we conduct assessments with high quality to ensure the right person is in the right place with the right responsibility. Competence development occurs continuously through internal training. You will work independently based on our established methods, guidelines, and manuals. At the same time, your work effort is part of a common assessment chain. Therefore, it is important that you enjoy a structured work content.

We continuously work on follow-up and method and operational development. There may be opportunities to contribute and participate in this work.

You may also be required to participate for shorter periods in the agency's operations in other locations.

You have a good ability to communicate and thereby contribute to development.

About the Employment

We offer you a permanent full-time position that begins with a probationary period or a temporary contract lasting 9-12 months.

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. We offer you at least 28 days of vacation, up to 35 days depending on age. You will work during the day, have the opportunity to train for 2 hours during work hours per week, and receive a favorable wellness allowance.
