A workplace that binds the island together

BRK is a unique municipal workplace because the island is an autonomous region. We therefore work with strategies and tasks within business, tourism and transport, which are areas normally not handled by Danish municipalities. At brk.dk you can read more about the municipality, which with 3,600 employees is the island's unequivocally largest workplace.

BRK is a smoke-free workplace.

We help you settle in

Moving to the 'sunny island' is a big decision – and you won't be alone. We have a settlement consultant who helps with housing, a job for your spouse, and school or leisure activities for the family's youngest. Read more here .
