Värmdö is the meeting place of the archipelago, offering a unique combination of nature's quiet beauty and a more urban lifestyle. Our mission is not just one but many: schools, properties, social services, harbors, healthcare, libraries, elder care, and many more. We strive to ensure that all residents of Värmdö can live a rich and free life. We want to be the ones who make the dream of a vibrant, secure environment for home, family, and business possible.

To fully succeed in this, we need diverse competencies and must work together to build a common and trust-based work culture, built on courageous, responsible employees who understand the needs and wishes of the residents.

Our Operations

Hemmesta School is a preschool to year 9 (F–9) school divided into two units: preschool to year 5 and years 6–9, with one principal and two deputy principals. The school has 620 students and is developing a clear F–9 perspective.

We actively work with inclusive solutions that permeate the entire school day. We are organized into two Student Health Team (SHT) units, one for each school unit, while simultaneously developing the SHT work from an F–9 perspective. Trust, communication, and the courage to think outside the box permeate our operations.

As a School Counselor, you are responsible for the psychosocial interventions of the Student Health Service and contribute a social and psychosocial perspective.

You investigate and assess the social and psychosocial situation of students or groups as needed, and collaborate with various actors outside the school. You participate in the Student Health Team (SHT) and actively work with preventive and health-promoting activities. Your role includes being active in absence investigations.

Your Experience
