The Unit: Dalregementet

The Swedish Armed Forces defend Sweden, the country's interests, our freedom, and the right to live as we choose. The establishment of Dalregementet is part of the building of Sweden's defense capability. Until the regiment has been developed to full capacity, including a new regimental area, the operations will be characterized by continuous development and change. Working methods will change over time to adapt to the growing organization and its activities.

The Workplace

We are developing Dalregementet's HR department and are now looking for a Personnel Officer who will also serve as the Deputy Department Head. Here you will have the chance to develop in an exciting and dynamic environment. The most important task of the HR function is to create good conditions for the combat units we are developing. We work broadly to ensure our competence and staffing needs, both short-term and long-term. The team currently consists of 10 people: three HR generalists, an HR administrator, an occupational health and safety coordinator, a conscription consultant, a conscription case officer, a unit chaplain, and the HR Manager. Will you be our future colleague?

Main Responsibilities

Working as a Personnel Officer in the HR department means you will gain a good understanding of personnel services in the Swedish Armed Forces, which is valuable for you if you wish to use this knowledge in a future command or staff position. Since the majority of the staff in the department are civilian employees, as a Personnel Officer, you can contribute to bridging civilian HR and labor law with the military profession, thereby influencing personnel services at the regiment. As Deputy Department Head, you are also responsible for leading the HR department together with the HR Manager.

Examples of tasks for a Personnel Officer:

• Personnel services, including specialized personnel planning for military competence, as well as staffing assignments and instructor reinforcements.
• Processing promotion cases together with the Regimental Administrator.
• Functional responsibility for GOU (General Officer Training) and promotion-enhancing education, including contacts with schools and students.
• Coordinate competence development issues for military competence.
