For a Living Kiruna

One thing is for sure. With us, you make a difference. We are Kiruna, we often say. We are the caregivers who hold grandma's hand and the teacher who helps little brother read his first words. We are the childcare worker who helps someone grow every day and the social worker who does what it takes to change lives. We are the personal assistant who provides freedom and the librarian who brings literature close. We are the home support staff who drive to the villages in snowstorms like the midnight sun to be there. We are hundreds of competencies, thousands of people, and generations of experience who together ensure, care for, inspire, teach, save lives, think innovatively, move cities, support each other, and take care of people. With pride and care. From mountains to city. Today and tomorrow for a living Kiruna. There is something beautiful in that. Do you also want to work for life, humanity, and the future in Kiruna municipality? Do you want to create value and make a real difference for what is important?
