Come closer - come to Nykvarn Municipality! With nature as a neighbor and the pulse of the city around the corner, over 12,000 residents are waiting for you and your efforts to make a difference in their daily lives. We are a relatively young municipality - drive, responsibility, and a willingness to develop characterize us. Today, we have about 700 dedicated employees, and we need to grow. Are you one of them?

We at the Welfare and Service Office are proud to make a difference in both small and large ways. Short decision-making paths, close to users, and engaged employees make it possible for everyone to become a specialist in their field. We are constantly evolving and improving and take responsibility by providing the right intervention to the right person at the right time.

We are an LSS group home that offers support and care to five individuals with different needs. Our goal is to create a safe and stimulating environment where each resident can develop based on their unique circumstances and interests. We work with person-centered care and strive to create meaningful activities that promote independence and quality of life.

You will be part of a team that, together with the coordinator and unit manager, will work towards the development of the operations together.

The working hours are scheduled for days, evenings, and weekends.
