About the administration

We are here for people. We offer various types of support to children, young people, families, and adults who in some way need our interventions. We provide people with the support they need so that they can then move forward on their own to work, studies, or otherwise get help to develop. We take care of our elderly when they need support in their daily lives. We are one of the few municipalities in Sweden that has a consolidated social services department. This means that official authority as well as treatment and support measures are located in the same administration. We see this as a tremendous strength. We create value for our citizens and contribute to a good and dignified life – for everyone, regardless of circumstances. We place great emphasis on early interventions and preventive work, professionally and individually adapted support. We are a learning workplace – we make each other better through our quality work focused on those we serve. We are the Social and Care Administration – part of Hudiksvall Municipality.
