About the Workplace

The South East Skåne Fire and Rescue Service Association (SÖRF) was established in 2000. The association's task is to work for safety-enhancing measures and interventions for all who live, work, or stay in our member municipalities Simrishamn, Sjöbo, Tomelilla, and Ystad. Approximately 85,000 residents live in the area, and during the summer months, the population more than doubles.

The number of employees in the association is approximately 160 people. Of these, about 50 are full-time employees and 110 are part-time employees.

At the beginning of 2025, SÖRF will enter a new organization, which includes adapting routines and working methods to new conditions. This work will continue into 2026, providing good opportunities to help develop the organization to meet future challenges and opportunities.
