About the unit

As a school information officer, you will become part of the regimental staff at the Southern Scania Regiment. As a staff member, you belong to G1, specifically the Personnel Supply Section.

About the position

Your main task is to increase knowledge about the Swedish Armed Forces. You do this primarily through presentations for students in middle and upper secondary schools. You do this together with a colleague and are part of a team that plans the operations and supports you in your work.

You also meet the target group in places other than schools. This can be, for example, at educational fairs, physical and digital events, trial activities, and through social media. The work involves travel within the region and the rest of Sweden. You visit schools, fairs, and other events where young people are present. Travel is by car and, if necessary, by other means of transport.
