What sets us apart
As an employer in a unique IT environment, the ISC-FDJP offers exciting roles for both trained specialists and aspiring IT talents. Employees are always specifically encouraged to pursue continuing education and training programmes and supported accordingly. Young talent is important to us, which is why we offer numerous entry-level opportunities every year and also train IT apprentices ourselves.
Our slogan «IT for Switzerland's internal security» is integral to all that we do. To achieve this, we cover various functions and areas of activity at the ISC-FDJP: Management of projects and products, service and support, development, systems, architecture, data management. In addition, we also need various cross-sectional functions that support the core business.

Working on an equal footing
At the ISC-EJPD we are on first-name terms. We work in a hybrid environment and foster an open, supportive and collaborative working environment. We attach great importance to a healthy work-life balance. With flexible working hours and the option to work remotely, we support our employees in harmonising their professional obligations with their personal needs.
The ISC-FDJP applies agile forms of collaboration. The challenges of the agile working world cannot be mastered by one leader alone – it requires the cooperation of self-organised teams. That is why at the ISC-FDJP we cultivate an understanding of management that is based on the servant-leadership approach. Instead of placing themselves centre stage, servant leaders see themselves in a supporting role in order to promote the growth, well-being and empowerment of employees. Leaders take on a guiding, accompanying and networking role. Servant leaders encourage a collaborative approach within the teams and throughout the ISC-FDJP.
Progress through diversity
Diversity and equal opportunities are a top priority at the ISC-FDJP. Diversity drives the ISC-FDJP forward: every single employee contributes individual skills, perspectives and experience. We are convinced that we as an employer and our employees benefit in equal measure from diverse teams. We are also committed to the non-discriminatory recruitment of new employees and the promotion of existing employees.
Values - our compass in everyday professional life
Trust, courage, foresight, agility and commitment – these are the five values that guide us in our daily work and characterise our culture of cooperation.
