Valdemarsvik Municipality is Seeking Dedicated Staff for Supported Housing and Short-Term Care

Valdemarsvik is an archipelago municipality in southern Östergötland, located along the E22 highway. We are a municipality with approximately 7,500 residents today. We enjoy all the advantages of a small municipality, with close-knit communities and short decision-making paths. Additionally, we have exceptional nature, featuring forests and the sea. Much is happening in Valdemarsvik Municipality and within our municipal organization, which employs around 600 staff members. Please read more about our municipality and our work at www.Valdemarsvik.se (http://www.Valdemarsvik.se) and take part in our planning for 2027-2028.

Do you want to work in an operation where relationships, participation, and people's opportunities are at the center?

We are looking for an engaged and secure employee for a combined position within supported housing (boendestöd) and short-term stays according to the LSS (Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments). The position offers varied and meaningful work where you will meet both adults and children with different support needs.

About the Operations

Supported housing is aimed at individuals who need support to create structure, independence, and participation in daily life. Short-term stays according to LSS offer children and young people a secure and developmental environment while providing relief for the family.

What both operations have in common is that we work in a person-centered way, starting from each individual's strengths, wishes, and conditions. We place great emphasis on good treatment, clarity, participation, and creating predictability and security in daily life.
