You treat everyone with high service level, friendliness, and high quality through customer and service focus. You take responsibility for participating in operational matters and are solution-oriented. We place great emphasis on personal suitability and that your view of team membership aligns with ours. We conduct background checks (extract from the criminal record) as a form of suitability assessment for all offered employment in operations where there is direct and regular contact with children and young people. Do you want to be part of our success? Welcome with your application! At Gislaved Municipality, full-time employment is a right and therefore vacant positions* are advertised as full-time.

In preparing the recruitment process, Gislaved Municipality has made decisions regarding recruitment channels and marketing. We therefore firmly decline contact from media sales, recruitment sites, and similar.
