About the Unit:

The Employment and Establishment Unit operates under the Board for Work and Support and is responsible for refugee reception.

To best meet the needs of Nacka residents who require temporary support through financial assistance, we believe that a clear working method is essential to quickly and effectively find pathways to self-sufficiency. The goal is to prevent and reduce unemployment, where every person in work is a win.

The unit is driven by development; we continuously update our work processes for both financial assistance, establishment, and integration to meet citizens' needs. The unit consists of 38 employees who form a stable, incredibly welcoming, and inclusive workgroup - a dream team!

The responsible managers lead the operations based on the motto “keep your head cool and your heart warm.”
