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

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This implies no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

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

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales.
