At the Social Services Department in Enköping Municipality, we work together to help residents who are in difficult and vulnerable life situations.

We have close management and are constantly working actively on the development of the organization. As a foundation in our approach, we have chosen to use motivational interviewing (MI) for those we serve.

For us, you as an employee are our most important resource, and we want you to enjoy your workplace. We are each other's work environment and strive for a climate characterized by our core values: responsibility, participation, development, legal certainty, collaboration, and respect.
