About Karlstads kommun

Welcome to Karlstad – the municipality with the happy sun! Karlstad is the county town in beautiful Värmland and is located on the Klarälven river delta on the northern shore of Lake Vänern, right between Stockholm and Oslo. Karlstad Municipality is one of Värmland's largest employers, with more than 8,000 employees spread across several hundred different professional roles. Together, we create good days for the residents of Karlstad, and with us, you get to work with things that are truly important. We take care of children and the elderly, decorate the city with flowers, arrange meaningful leisure activities, provide valuable education, deliver heat, process applications, and plan and build so that more people can find a place and thrive in our municipality. With us, you will have proud colleagues who, with genuine job satisfaction, develop Karlstad long-term and sustainably. Over 96,000 Karlstad residents depend on our work, and in the coming years, we will need to recruit many new, committed colleagues for our important jobs. Perhaps you are one of them?
