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

Uppsala County places all permanent staff on war footing based on the needs of the total defense. This entails 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 seekers who, in the sought position, may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or involuntary care of substance abusers, areas covered by optional record extracts. This therefore applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Uppsala County's own channels, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and ad sales representatives.
