Team Leaders for Järva District Administration

Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone living here today and in the future. Now we are looking for you who want to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Welcome to us

In preparation for the upcoming season and a parental leave, we are now seeking two team leaders who want to help continue creating a sustainable and attractive urban environment in Järva.

We need to strengthen the operation with a seasonal team leader for the period from June to August and for a temporary position from June to September.

The unit for the operation of parks and green areas is a newly formed unit that took over the responsibility for cleaning and maintenance of parks and green areas in Järva in October 2025. The unit consists of three team leaders and a team of park workers and gardeners led by a unit manager. The group is based in a shared operational facility in Sundby, where the workshop, machinery hall, storage, cafeteria, and offices are located. As we approach summer, we are entering our first season with expanded operations, where we strengthen the organization with seasonal park workers and summer supervisors and have close collaboration with the labor market initiative Järvavärdar.

The Järva district consists of the neighborhoods Akalla, Husby, Kista, Rinkeby, Tensta, Hjulsta, Bromsten, Flysta, Lunda, Sundby, and Solhem, where over 90,000 residents live.

We have high ambitions to develop the public outdoor environments of the district and look forward to having you on this journey! Warm welcome to submit your application!
