Personal Assistant at Kiruna Municipality

For a living Kiruna. One thing is certain. With us, you make a difference. We are Kiruna, we often say. We are the care staff holding the hand of an elderly mother and the teacher helping a little brother read his first words. We are the childcare worker who helps someone grow every day and the social worker who does what it takes to change lives. We are the personal assistant who gives freedom and the librarian who makes literature accessible. We are the home support staff driving to the villages in a snowstorm 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 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, the individual, and the future in Kiruna Municipality? Do you want to create value and make a real difference for what matters?

The administration 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. We constantly work for good quality that benefits the users of our services.
