About the County Administrative Board of Västerbotten

The County Administrative Board of Västerbotten is a knowledge agency. Through a holistic perspective with engagement for collaboration and the individual citizen, we make sustainable development possible throughout the county. We start from Västerbotten and take off from everything that happens, both within the county's borders and outside. For us, it is just as natural to collaborate with public actors, other state agencies, regions, and municipalities as with business and civil society.

The County Administrative Board is a regional crisis management and total defense agency. In the event of a societal crisis or heightened preparedness, you may be asked to work with tasks other than those you are normally employed for. Permanent employees are part of the County Administrative Board's crisis and war organization and will, in most cases, be war-placed at the agency.

About 300 employees work here in about 80 different professional roles. Our specialist competencies cover a broad range of areas that are important building blocks for our society to function 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 knowledge in Sami, Meänkieli, Finnish, Romani Chib, and Yiddish.
