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, as we often say. We are the healthcare staff holding the hands of elderly mothers and the teachers helping little brothers read their first words. We are the childcare workers who help someone grow every day and the social workers who do what it takes to change lives. We are the personal assistants who give freedom and the librarians who make literature accessible. We are the home support staff driving to the villages in snowstorms under the midnight sun to be there. We are hundreds of competencies, thousands of people, and generations of experience working together to secure, care for, inspire, teach, save lives, think new thoughts, move cities, support each other, and take care of people. With pride and care. From mountain to city. Today and tomorrow for a living Kiruna. There is something beautiful about it. Do you also want to work for life, the individual, and the future in Kiruna Municipality? Do you want to create value and make a real difference for what matters?

The department 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.
