About the County Administrative Board of Västerbotten

The County Administrative Board of Västerbotten is a knowledge-based authority. Through a holistic perspective with a commitment to collaboration and the individual citizen, we make sustainable development possible throughout the county. We start from Västerbotten and take our cue from everything that happens, both within and outside the county's borders. For us, it is equally natural to cooperate with public actors such as other state authorities, regions, and municipalities as it is with business and civil society.

The County Administrative Board is a regional crisis management and total defense authority. In the event of a societal crisis or heightened readiness, you may therefore be assigned tasks other than those you are normally employed for. Permanently employed staff at the authority are part of the County Administrative Board's crisis and war organization and will, in most cases, be war-placed at the authority.

Around 300 employees work here in about 80 different professional roles. Our specialist competencies cover a wide range of areas that are important building blocks for ensuring our society functions for all inhabitants and for ecological, economic, and social development. We strive to have employees with knowledge of Sweden's minority languages and therefore value your skills in Sami, Meänkieli, Finnish, Romani Chib, and Yiddish.
