Things to consider before applying:

A prerequisite for starting employment at Olivia is that you can present a valid ID and submit a background check (personbevis) as well as any documents proving your right to work in Sweden. You can easily download the background check from the Swedish Tax Agency's website.

Since the position may involve solo work, night shifts, and tasks that, according to the Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulations (AFS 2012:3), cannot be performed by minors, you must be at least 18 years old.

If you are to work with children and young people under 18, you must provide an extract from the criminal record. From March 1, 2026, new rules apply, meaning the background check will include both the criminal record and the suspicion register. The extract is ordered via the Police Authority's e-service. Note that processing times may vary, so it is advisable to order it well in advance.

The extracts can be ordered with BankID via the following link: https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/ (https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/)

We recommend that you ensure you have current extracts in accordance with current legislation and the new rules coming into effect on March 1, 2026.
