Employment Information

For final employment, we apply a written procedure where the employment contract is signed digitally by both parties. We also wish to inform you that the employment is subject to requirements according to the Swedish Education Act, which means that applicants must provide a certificate of no criminal record (extract from the police register) before we, as employers, can enter into a final employment contract. We therefore encourage you to order an extract from the police register immediately after submitting your application. You can find the form to order the extract via polisen.se.

We kindly decline contact from recruiters and advertising agencies.
