Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanently employed personnel based on the needs of the total defense. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

In connection with decisions 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 for children and youth, 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 contain 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 ad sales representatives.
