Work with Children and Youth in Surahammar

Surahammar Municipality is a municipality in change. Here we are close to both the countryside and the city. Here lies the drive to grow, change, and develop. That is why it is so exciting to work here. With us, you become part of a flat hierarchy culture where we help each other and value each other's knowledge, differences, and experiences. The work is often varied, sometimes challenging, and always meaningful. Welcome!

The benefit of working within Children and Youth is that you receive individual competence development, a wellness allowance, the possibility of a free parking space, proximity to the train and bus station located a stone's throw from the social services office, and of course, fantastic colleagues.
