Board Secretary at Torsås Municipality

Torsås Municipality is a community characterized by proximity and quality of life in southern Kalmar County. With approximately 7,000 residents, the municipality can be described as Sweden in miniature. Here you will find the sea, the coast, beaches, plains, lakes, and forests. The business life is dominated by manufacturing industry, but there is also great potential in tourism and other areas. We offer a high quality of life with proximity and a strong sense of security for residents and visitors.

Torsås Municipality has five administrations and two wholly-owned companies. At Torsås, we dare to come up with new solutions, think big thoughts, and bring exciting ideas. To succeed, we work closely together towards a common goal: to provide everyone who lives here with the best conditions for a good life. We leverage each other's strengths, which leads to short decision-making paths and close collaboration between employees and managers.

Our core values are based on the words Participation, Development, Clarity, and Security. This is an approach that every employee and elected official demonstrates in their daily work and in meetings with citizens and customers. Torsås Municipality is a unique workplace where collaboration, cooperation, and joy in work characterize our daily lives.

In the near future, important developments are happening in Torsås. A correctional facility with space for 300 inmates will be built nearby, and the new route of the E22 highway is planned to be brought closer to Torsås center. This gives us new opportunities and challenges, and we know that it is no coincidence that Torsås Municipality succeeds in attracting competent, experienced, and skilled employees.
