Do you want to make Gävle even better with us?

At Gävle Municipality, we work together with dedication to offer our residents a safe and inspiring environment. We offer you a workplace built on trust, where you can develop professionally and grow as a person. We welcome your application!

Who we are and what we do

Our units consist of assistance administrators, senior assistance administrators, resident coordinators, and administrators. Our target group consists of individuals over 18 years of age who apply for support and assistance not covered by the LSS (Act on Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) or who do not belong to the target group for processing within social psychiatry. Our target group is constantly growing, which requires our operations to dare to try new working methods to best meet the challenges of welfare. Here, we try new working methods and evaluate them continuously. You are expected to act according to our values in all contacts and work proactively.

A colleague at the workplace might say that it is an advantage if you like autumn, while another colleague might say it is an advantage if you do not like autumn. On our units, the Investigation Unit Care 1 and 2, we all have different perspectives on things, but we have jointly decided that our work environment should be characterized by acceptance, security, and positivity, where everyone is equally important.

3 positions available.
