For a Living Kiruna – Teacher at Vittangi School

One thing is certain. With us, you make a difference. We are Kiruna, as we often say. We are the healthcare staff holding the hands of elderly mothers and the teacher helping little brothers read their first words. We are the childcare workers helping someone grow every day and the social workers making the changes needed to transform lives. We are personal assistants providing freedom and librarians making literature accessible. We are home support staff driving to villages in snowstorms under the midnight sun to be there for those in need. We are hundreds of competencies, thousands of people, and generations of experience working together to ensure safety, care, inspire, teach, save lives, think new thoughts, move cities, support each other, and look after people. With pride and care. From the mountains to the city. Today and tomorrow for a living Kiruna. There is something beautiful about that. Do you also want to work for life, for people, and for the future in Kiruna Municipality? Do you want to create value and make a real difference for what matters?
