Social Secretary for the Child and Family Unit in Kiruna

For a living Kiruna. One thing is certain. With us, you make a difference. We are Kiruna, we often say. We are the healthcare staff holding an old mother's hand and the teacher who helps little brother read his first words. We are the childcare worker who helps someone grow every day and the social worker who does what it takes to change lives. We are the personal assistant who gives freedom and the librarian who makes literature accessible. We are the home support staff who drive to the villages in a snowstorm under the midnight sun to be there. We are hundreds of competencies, thousands of people, and generations of experience who together secure, care for, inspire, teach, save lives, think new thoughts, move cities, stand up for each other, and take care of people. With pride and care. From the mountains to the city. Today and tomorrow for a living Kiruna. There is something beautiful about it. Do you also want to work for life, the human being, and the future in Kiruna Municipality? Do you want to create value and make a real difference for what is important?

The mandate of the Social Services Administration is to meet people's need for security. The administration shall work to ensure that the municipality's residents receive social care in various forms, with a special responsibility to safeguard the needs and interests of vulnerable groups. We constantly work for good quality that benefits the user of our services.

We look forward to hearing from you!
