For a living Kiruna – Will you become our new assistant nurse/care aide?

One thing is certain. With us, you make a difference. We are Kiruna, as we often say. We are the healthcare staff holding an elderly mother's hand, 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 special about it. Do you also want to work for life, for people, and for the future in Kiruna Municipality? Do you want to create value and make a real difference for what matters?
