Region Uppsala values the qualities that an equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala places all permanent staff in military service positions based on the needs of the total defense. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime, but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job applicants who, in the sought employment, may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care for children and adolescents, or compulsory care for addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to mainly involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's own channels, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising salespeople.
