Social Secretary for the Children and Youth Investigation Unit

Värmdö is the archipelago's meeting place with 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, care and much more. We work to ensure that all Värmdö residents can live a rich and free life. We want to be the ones who make possible the dream of a vibrant safe environment for home, family and business. To fully succeed, we need different competencies and to work together for a common and trusting work culture, built on courageous, responsible employees who understand the residents' needs and wishes.
