In Ludvika, children and youth are important! We demonstrate this by making children and youth the center of the municipal organization. Most resources directed towards children and youth have been gathered under one committee. This includes preschool, primary school, adapted primary school, and also individual and family care. A common feature of all activities is a conscious quality effort to constantly develop and improve the work with children and youth.

The Workplace

Junibacken School is a two-parallel F-6 school in Ludvika municipality with just over 300 students. Currently, just over half of the students are evacuated to other units due to planned renovations of the school premises. Junibacken School also has an after-school program, which, like the school classes, is placed in different units during the evacuation. The after-school programs, with their dedicated staff, offer quality break activities and various interventions in class and for students during the school day. For the 25/26 school year, we have certified teachers in most classes and incredibly skilled teaching assistants who complement them. Junibacken School also has a student health team with a school nurse, school counselor, and school psychologist. Due to retirement, we will lack a special education teacher in the team for the 26/27 school year, but we hope that you, who are reading this ad, feel that this is exactly the job you want. We who work at Junibacken School do so out of our desire to create the best school for every student who attends with us.
