Welcome to Strängnäs Municipality!

Strängnäs Municipality has just over 39,000 inhabitants and is strategically located in the Mälaren Valley with excellent transport connections. Here it is close to the capital city of Stockholm, reachable by train in under 50 minutes, and even closer is Eskilstuna. Our municipality is an attractive place for both living and working, where you get the opportunity to make a real difference for society and its inhabitants.

Among us, there are a variety of meaningful and challenging tasks, with opportunities to grow and develop in your professional role. In Strängnäs Municipality, over 2,500 skilled and engaged employees work, all contributing to creating a positive everyday life for the inhabitants. We value a workplace where everyone feels included and where there is room to influence.

For work with children/young people, an extract from the criminal record must be shown before employment. In spring 2026, a new law comes into force which means that work in the home for elderly people or adults with disabilities will also be subject to register checks. For these services, this means that final candidates, to be considered for employment in Strängnäs Municipality, must show extracts from both the criminal record and the suspicion register before employment can be offered.

We work actively based on a value base characterized by respect, openness, development, and clarity. We see in our annual employee survey that our employees are happy. We hope that you want to be part of our team and together with us build the future Strängnäs. Together we create a stronger municipality and make each other better.
