About the employer:

District Bjerke - a district for everyone

The district of Bjerke is located at the outlet of the Groruddalen, and large parts of the district border on fields with bathing waters, hiking trails and ski slopes that provide many opportunities for hiking and outdoor activities all year round. With good coverage by public transport, it is also a short distance to the center of Oslo. The district has around 30,000 inhabitants and is among the districts that have had the largest population growth in recent years. Against the background of a number of new development areas and the migration of many families with children, this population growth is expected to continue in the coming years.

Bydel Bjerke is a forward-looking organisation, and our services are based on the idea that all of the borough's residents should experience mastery and be "bosses in their own lives". With our vision "Bjerke district - a district for all", we work to create a good local community, with good living conditions for all our residents.

Workplaces in Oslo municipality must be characterized by diversity, and our employees must reflect the city's population.
