About this role
Ödeshög Municipality is located in southwestern Östergötland, with Omberg in the north, Lake Vättern in the west, the fertile Östergötland plains in the east, and the deep forests of Holaveden in the south. The E4 highway runs through the municipality, making it easy to reach both Linköping and Jönköping within 40 minutes by car. Ödeshög Municipality has approximately 5,400 residents, and with around 400 permanent employees across four different administrative departments, the municipality is the largest employer in the area.
We are proud of our municipality and our employees for several reasons. 30% of the food served in elderly care and schools is prepared using locally sourced ingredients. This, among many other factors, makes Ödeshög an attractive municipality to live and work in.
Ödeshög Municipality is a small municipality with great opportunities. We have short decision-making paths, a favorable business climate, and excellent recreation possibilities. Ödeshög is a safe place where living, working, and thriving are especially enjoyable. From fertile soil, rich forests, and clear waters, we build the future together.
The Work, Integration, and Adult Education unit works to create long-term sustainable pathways to self-sufficiency. We meet people where they are, identify obstacles and opportunities, and provide support to develop towards employment and/or studies.
We are a creative and flexible team that aims to work systematically and ensure quality to achieve good results, both for individuals and the municipality.
In 2026, one of our colleagues will be on parental leave, and we are now seeking someone who wants to become part of our team.
Warm welcome to us!
