Do you enjoy meeting new people, speaking in front of groups, and creating engagement? Then you could be our next School Information Officer. At I 21, you represent the Swedish Armed Forces at schools, fairs, and events – helping more people discover the opportunities available with us.

About the HR Department

As a School Information Officer, you belong to the HR Department (G1), which is part of the regimental staff at I 21. The HR Department consists of 12 employees with various competencies and focuses, both civilian and military. Our mission is to provide managers with professional and operationally relevant support, both strategically and operationally, through a consultative working method. We work at a high pace, with a strong team spirit and a shared focus on delivering high-quality and appreciated support to managers.

Main Responsibilities

As a School Information Officer, you have a dual role between working within G1 and serving as a soldier at the company level. A large part of the job involves meeting students in lower and upper secondary school through lectures where you talk about the Swedish Armed Forces and the opportunities available with us.

You carry out assignments together with a colleague and have support from employees within the department in daily work. Together, you plan and execute activities and meet the target group in various contexts – for example, at schools, educational fairs, events, trial activities, and on social media.

As part of the role, you also serve as a soldier at the company level as a GSS/K (Continuously Serving Soldier). There, you become part of the operations together with officers, specialist officers, and other soldiers. The full-time soldiers work, among other things, as instructors in the training of conscripts together with the company's professional officers. Daily life is characterized by variety, training, development, and readiness.

Who are you?

To thrive in this role, we believe you enjoy variety – both in tasks and in the people and environments you encounter. You like social settings, take initiative, and feel comfortable speaking in front of different groups.

Since you will meet many different people, it is important that you can adapt your communication to the situation and target group. You inspire trust in your interactions with others, collaborate well, and take responsibility – both for your own tasks and for the team's common goals.

We also believe that you are solution-oriented and see opportunities when things do not go exactly as planned. You work independently when needed, but also enjoy working together with others.

As an employee, you are a good representative for I 21 and the Swedish Armed Forces, and you base your work on the agency's core values – openness, results, and responsibility. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
