Find jobs in Skaraborg: Public sector
The public sector includes many different fields and, essentially, almost all types of professions. Many jobs are found in education and healthcare, but in Skaraborg there are also numerous roles within the Armed Forces and the Swedish Prison and Probation Service.
Working in the public sector in Skaraborg is exciting in many ways, but one thing that makes the region unique compared to others is that the municipalities are located close to each other and are similar in size. This means that many people choose to live in one municipality and work in another, and many view the entire area as their job market. Moving here therefore doesn’t limit you to working in a single town - commuting between municipalities is common!

But what is it like to work in the public sector? What kinds of roles does a municipality look for, for example? We asked Ulrika Sanfridsson Fritz, HR Consultant at Falköping Municipality:
“As a municipality, we have a broad range of operations and therefore employ people with a wide variety of skills! Our largest areas are education and care, where we regularly recruit teachers, assistant nurses, and social workers.
When it comes to assistant nurses, it is common to start as an hourly substitute while still studying, and then move on to a full-time position. Because we are a large organization, many employees change roles and build their careers within the municipality.
To thrive with us, it’s important to show commitment and a willingness to contribute to the development of our services. We always work with people, so having a positive and respectful approach is also essential. A municipality is less affected by economic cycles than many other sectors, which means employment is secure. In addition, we offer meaningful and important jobs where your contribution has a significant impact on people around you.
All vacancies are published on the municipality’s website—welcome to apply!”
