School Social Worker for Parkskolan and Blötbergets School

In Ludvika, children and youth are important! We show this by making children and youth the center of the municipal organization. Most resources directed towards children and youth have been gathered under one board. This includes preschool, primary school, adapted primary school, and also individual and family care. A common feature of all activities is a conscious quality work to continuously develop and improve work with children and youth.

Workplace

Parkskolan is located in Grängesberg, which is 15 kilometers south of Ludvika. A beautiful old industrial town that flourished with its iron ore mining until the late 80s. Today, not everything remains, but Grängesberg continues to thrive, albeit to a lesser extent. Parkskolan, with its 270 students from preschool to grade 6 and an after-school program with 120 students, is adjacent to the historic Folkets Park where we now celebrate our school graduations. Also nearby is the beverage giant Spendrups, where study visits can be arranged. In the community, there is a library that we visit with our students. We also have a ski slope and an artificially frozen bandy field that we can access on outdoor days. The forest is right next to the school where many visits are made with our students.

Blötbergets School is a K-6 school located 10 kilometers outside Ludvika. A school with 140 students for the 25/26 school year and about 60 students in the after-school program. We have a great community at the school where we help each other across boundaries. We have a nice school forest that we like to visit. There is also a football field and an ice hockey rink next to the school that we can utilize.

So what are you waiting for? We are here with open arms and may welcome you to our wonderful community!
