Our staff consists of a broad mix of employees with a rich base of experience. We place emphasis on a good working environment within modern frameworks, and a daily life characterized by an informal and open tone with good collegial camaraderie.

This position is organizationally anchored in the HR section, called the S1 section. The section is ultimately responsible for the regiment's personnel management, personnel administration and Attraction & Recruitment (Tiltrækning & Tilknytning).

About the position

The Royal Life Guards faces significant growth in the coming years. This places high demands on our ability to attract new employees and recruit those we already have. Therefore we are strengthening our HR organization and building a new Attraction & Recruitment element, which will help ensure that the regiment in the future also has the right employees.

You will have a varied daily life with both professional leadership, independent case handling, coordination and close collaboration with the regiment's units and external partners. Some tasks require planning and deep focus, while others are solved through dialogue, collaboration and practical implementation.

As the element is still being built up, you will have good opportunities to shape the task solution and help develop the area. We also expect you to take initiative, come with ideas and contribute to turning them into concrete results.

About the Royal Life Guards (LG)

The Royal Life Guards is today a state-of-the-art infantry regiment and a life-guard with an operational focus, guarding His Majesty and the royal family, and regularly deploying a readiness unit in national operations. This combination of field units – that participate in international operations - and sentry soldiers, makes The Royal Life Guards a unique regiment. The Royal Life Guards’ history dates back to 1658, when the Life Guard was established by King Frederik III on June 30.

Even then, the Life Guard fulfilled both tasks: as bodyguard protecting the country’s highest authority – the king, and as an infantry regiment to join the Danish army.
