For a vibrant Kiruna. One thing is certain: with us, you make a difference. “We are Kiruna,” we often say.

We’re the home care workers who drive to the villages in snowstorms and under the midnight sun to be there for people. We are hundreds of skills, thousands of people, and generations of experience that together provide security, care, inspiration, education, save lives, think innovatively, transform cities, stand up for one another, and look after people—with pride and compassion. From the mountains to the city. Today and tomorrow, for a vibrant Kiruna. There’s something beautiful about that.
