Vacant job

In Ludvika, children and young people are important! We demonstrate this by placing children and young people at the center of the municipal organization. Most resources directed towards children and young people have been consolidated under a single committee. This includes preschool, primary school, special needs school, and individual and family care services. A conscious quality effort to continuously develop and improve work with children and young people is common to all operations.

The Workplace

At Björkås School and Leisure Center in Grängesberg (special needs school), we have a clear focus: to be the absolute best place for our students.
