Temporary Social Secretary for the Child and Family Group in Kiruna

For a living Kiruna. One thing is certain: with us, you make a difference. We are Kiruna. We are the healthcare staff holding the hand of an elderly mother, the teacher helping little brothers read their first words, the childcare worker helping someone grow every day, and the social worker making the changes needed to transform lives. We are the personal assistant who gives freedom, the librarian making literature accessible, and the home support staff driving to the villages in snowstorms – a 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 the mountains to the city. Today and tomorrow for a living Kiruna.

There is something special 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?
