Vacant job

Malå Municipality is a beautiful and progressive municipality in southern Lapland. Máláge kommuvdna is a Sámi administrative municipality.

The majority of residents are employed in the wood and metal industries, geo-related activities, transportation, and public services. The municipality offers good public services and a diverse range of leisure activities.

Malå is a great option for both families and entrepreneurs. Several successful small and medium-sized enterprises with well-developed products sold on the global market create a climate of optimism.

Our vision: Malå with everything close by - a welcoming and safe municipality where development takes place.

Malå Municipality – a gem in southern Lapland – is now looking for a social worker who enjoys variety and teamwork

Here, there is more than just beautiful views: we have optimism, driven companies selling to the whole world, and a community where people actually cheer for each other.

We like to say that everything is close in Malå – nature, work, colleagues, and the lunch box you forgot at home.

About the job

With us, you are not just a small cog in a huge machine – rather, you are a multifunctional hero in a small but strong team! We do not divide ourselves into narrow categories, which means you will have a varied job where no day is like the other. One day you might work with financial assistance, the next with children and families, and sometimes with substance abuse cases or family law.

You will work with authority according to SoL, LVU, and LVM – but with Malå's warm heart at your back.

In short: here you become a generalist with a golden touch – and get the chance to really make a difference!

Who are you?

You have a degree in social work (or equivalent education) and preferably experience from social services and authority work. If you also know what BBIC and Life Care mean without having to Google – extra applause for you!

As a person, you are structured but not rigid, independent but enjoy teamwork, patient but quick when needed, and a master at both listening and articulating clearly.

And yes – a driver's license is required; we promise it’s worth driving through Lapland's most beautiful views.

Why Malå?

In addition to fresh air, beautiful views, and a strong team of colleagues, we offer:

• A short distance between decision-makers and employees.
• A workplace where ideas are encouraged and where we truly want to make a difference.
• Diverse employee benefits such as the possibility of remote work and vacation exchange, flexible agreements, and various wellness benefits.
• A group of nice colleagues who are happy to share both laughter and experiences. And of course: a job where you can really make an impact!
