For a Living Kiruna

One thing is certain. With us, you make a difference. We are Kiruna, we like to say. We are the healthcare staff holding grandma's hand and the teacher helping little brother read his first words. We are the childcare worker helping someone grow every day and the social worker doing what it takes to change lives. We are the personal assistant providing freedom and the librarian bringing literature close. We are the home support staff driving to the villages in snowstorms like midnight sun to be there. We are hundreds of competencies, thousands of people, and generations of experience who together ensure, care, inspire, teach, save lives, think innovatively, move cities, support each other, and take care of people. With pride and care. From mountains to town. 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 matters?
