Sports and Wellness Leader Wanted at K 4 in Arvidsjaur

K 4 in Arvidsjaur is a small regiment, which means closeness to everything, both within the organization and among colleagues. K 4 trains, develops, and leads ranger units with the qualified ability to operate deep within the enemy's grouping in a subarctic environment.

K 4 is looking for a substitute for a Sports and Wellness Leader based in Arvidsjaur, who wants to be part of creating an organization under reconstruction. Are you attracted to working on creating conditions for the unit's operations in peace, crisis, and war? Then this is for you. Together we create the conditions for Sweden's defense.

About the Unit

The Garrison Support Unit belongs to K 4 and supports with training and shooting ranges, simulators, sports and wellness, expedition/archive, reception, and BVKF. The Sports and Wellness Department is a resource for the units in Arvidsjaur, where the main task is to support the implementation of the operational units' physical performance capability. The position offers good conditions for wellness and a good balance between work and private life.
