We work with support and care for the elderly and for people with disabilities. The goal is for them to be able to live as active and independent lives as possible.

The Care and Welfare Administration is one of Sweden's largest employers in municipal care and welfare. Here, around 7,500 employees work based on our values – making a difference, working together, and welcoming innovation. With us, there are great opportunities to take responsibility, develop, and contribute with your skills. We strive for an organizational culture with trust in each other and pride in our operations.

Within the Care and Welfare Administration, full-time work is the norm. This means that all permanent employees essentially have a full-time position.
