Custodian at Lerum High School

Lerum Municipality is known for its scenic locations with lakes and forests. The municipality has 3,200 employees and 43,000 residents but expects to grow significantly in the coming years. Lerum is only a 20-minute travel time from Gothenburg and is currently facing a development-intensive period with many exciting projects underway, ranging from schools to housing. The municipality works to ensure good service, high welfare, and a thriving business climate.

Dagens Samhälle has recently awarded Lerum the title of winner in the category of metropolitan municipalities (2025) - an award based on a comprehensive comparison of 290 Swedish municipalities in areas such as education, healthcare, economy, culture and leisure, attractiveness, business, and future factors such as digitalization and civil preparedness. We are now a Super Municipality!

Lerum High School is an attractive upper secondary school with the vision of A school for all – become the best version of yourself. Currently, about 1,350 students attend the school, distributed across both vocational and university preparatory programs, introductory programs, and adapted upper secondary school.

The school is organized into five units, each led by a principal responsible for one or more programs. Lerum High School also has an administrative manager, a unit manager for student health, and an operations manager for coordination.

The teachers are organized into working groups around the students in the various programs.

The high school is located in a fantastic environment, with a green park area right next to Säveån, just a few minutes' walk from Lerum's center and train station.

The school's focus is on student learning, and our guiding principles are safety, presence, and challenges. We have a well-developed and cohesive student health service that, in close collaboration with the educational staff, works for high goal achievement and a safe and pleasant school environment.
