We are looking for a leader who, together with Mathias and me, wants to be part of the management theme in the Home Guard's Resource - Support Department.

We can offer you a position as head of the Resource Section, where you will have responsibility for both people, operations and development – and where, in collaboration, we have many balls in the air and the opportunity to make a difference for the rest of the Home Guard.

If you think this sounds exciting, then maybe you are the one Mathias and I should work with going forward?

About us

The Home Guard staff comprises around 180 employees in total, the majority of whom are based at Vordingborg Barracks.

Our primary tasks are to support the Home Guard staff and subordinate authorities with a wide range of administrative and personnel-related tasks. We are a mix of civilian and military staff, which creates a strong dynamic, different perspectives and good professional sparring in task solving.

In the department we have chosen five core values that describe the way we want to be

• Decency
• Accountability
