Simrishamns kommun

About Simrishamns kommun

Simrishamn Municipality is located in the southeastern corner of Skåne, in the heart of Österlen. Of just over 19,000 inhabitants, approximately 6,000 live in the central town of Simrishamn. The many holiday homes mean our population increases significantly during the summer. Our municipality has a very diverse business sector in virtually all industries. There are over 3,000 companies, many new companies are started every month (we were named Municipality of the Year for New Businesses as recently as 2014!), and female entrepreneurship is fantastically high. We are the largest employer in the municipality with just over 1,600 employees. Most work in childcare, schools, elderly care, and LSS activities. We want good workplaces where employees thrive and have a good working environment, where there are stimulating tasks, where everyone feels involved and can influence their work situation. Service, curiosity, kindness, and respect should characterize contact with the citizens. Even in the future, we want to be an attractive workplace that offers good working conditions and good treatment. We foresee that in the coming years there will be an increased recruitment need for various positions represented in our administrations. We therefore need new employees who contribute to our further growth and development as a municipality and employer.
