Welcome to Berg Municipality - Municipality of the Year 2024!

Two-thirds of our population lives outside our urban areas, and we do not see the municipality's sparsity as a hindrance but as an opportunity! Here, you will find magnificent nature close at hand, a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and an active cultural and community life. For those who want the city's offerings and communications, Östersund is just a stone's throw away. The South Sámi culture, reindeer husbandry, and language are an important part of the municipality's identity.

As an employer, all municipal activities are based on our five guiding principles: togetherness, courage, effectiveness, communication, and sustainability. Our guiding principles are designed to be our compass and guidance, always promoting trust and a good organizational culture with the citizen in focus.

On bergsliv.se, we have gathered inspiring reports about people living in the municipality and facts about our urban areas. Welcome to find your dream life with us in Berg Municipality!

Here, you will have good opportunities to shape and further develop areas of activity. Warm welcome with your application!

Job Responsibilities

As a school psychologist, you will assess students' needs and plan interventions together with the respective principal and student health team. These interventions should contribute to each student reaching their knowledge goals and being given the conditions to develop as individuals. We see the promotional and preventive work as central to this, which may involve guidance and consultation, as well as educating staff, guardians, and students on various issues.

In your role, you will also be responsible for creating and developing overarching strategies and routines for work concerning children with diagnoses, social exclusion, and mental health issues.

You will also participate in our local student health teams, whose primary task is to work from a preventive and health-promoting perspective. The local student health teams are led by the principal at each school, and you will thus work on behalf of your immediate supervisor and our principals.
