Welcome to Berg Municipality - Municipality of the Year 2024!

Two-thirds of our population lives outside our urban areas, and we do not see the municipality's sparsity as a hindrance but as an opportunity! Here, magnificent nature is close at hand, a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and an active cultural and community life. For those who want the city's offerings and communications, Östersund is just a stone's throw away. The South Sámi culture, reindeer husbandry, and language are an important part of the municipality's identity.

As an employer, all municipal operations rest on our five guiding principles; together, courage, effectiveness, communication, and sustainability. Our guiding principles are designed to be our compass and guidance, always promoting trust and a good organizational culture with the citizen in focus.

At bergsliv.se, we have gathered inspiring reports about people living in the municipality and facts about our urban areas. Welcome to find your dream life with us in Berg Municipality!

We accept your job application digitally via our recruitment system. If you have protected personal data, you should not send your application via the recruitment system. Instead, contact the HR consultant via switchboard 0687-161 00, and you will receive assistance on how to apply for work safely. We kindly ask for no contact with staffing and recruitment companies or job advertisement sellers.

Qualifications and Personal Attributes

The need for substitutes exists in several of our units, and we therefore welcome you regardless of whether you have previous education or experience in care and support. If you are a nursing assistant or have previous experience working as a care assistant, we see it as a positive but not necessary! The most important thing for us is you as a person, especially that you are effective and professional in your work approach, as well as being good at communicating and easily collaborating. To be eligible as a substitute in care and support, you must be at least 18 years old and be able to express yourself and understand Swedish well in speech and writing. The ability to work evenings and weekends is a requirement. We consider it an advantage if you have education and/or previous experience in elderly care.

Berg Municipality is a Sámi administrative municipality, and we therefore see it as an advantage if you have knowledge of the South Sámi language and culture.

You are responsible for entering the times you can work and responding to inquiries as soon as possible. Being a substitute can mean that the need for work can change quickly.
