About the Recruitment Process

You apply by attaching your CV and answering questions in the recruitment system. Attach your relevant educational and work certificates when you register your application. We review applications continuously and will get back to you via email and SMS. Also, keep an eye on your spam folder (emails can sometimes end up there) and respond as soon as you can. If you are called for an interview, it will be conducted digitally via Zoom. Prepare two references, at least one of whom should be a salary-setting manager. If you proceed after the interview and reference checks, you will be booked for a meeting with the organization. Agreement on work period, introduction, and salary will be made with the responsible manager in the organization. If offered employment, a criminal record extract is required. You can order the extract here (https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/kontrollera-dina-uppgifter-i-belastningsregistret/). To be employed as a nursing assistant, certification of protected professional title is required. If the certificate is missing, you will be employed as a caregiver.
