You have good knowledge of Swedish, and a completed high school education is a requirement for employment.

We Offer

You will become part of Västerås Museums and have the opportunity to work at two of Västmanland's largest tourist attractions during the peak season. With us, you will have a meaningful and independent job in a unique cultural and natural environment.

Here, you will be part of something bigger! With warmth and respect, we show initiative in both big and small matters. We live our values in our interactions with each other and those we serve.
