About the employment

We offer you a permanent full-time position starting with a probationary period. Your place of work will be Stockholm at our Tomteboda office, and travel during employment occurs.

Most employees at the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency are war-placed.

About us

The staff for the Cybersecurity and Critical Communications Department is a management support unit tasked with supporting the department head in directing, planning, steering, and following up on operations. The task includes being the contact point towards the department and coordinating issues internally as well as with other parts of the authority. The assignment also involves handling several external contacts.

On the staff, we are currently four employees, and we are located in Stockholm. The assignments on the staff are often event-driven. Therefore, it is important that we all understand that there can be quick reversals and that tasks and assignments may vary over time. The department is now facing an adjusted assignment, as the cyber operations will move to another authority. This means that other tasks and assignments will likely be added.

We have an activity-based office where you can choose your workplace based on your own needs. You also have the opportunity to work remotely to some extent. We also offer you the opportunity to take out wellness hours, and you will receive a wellness allowance. For you as a state employee, there are also favorable vacation conditions.

All of us who work at the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency are expected and should contribute to increased gender equality and equal treatment for a work environment and society free from discrimination.
