Vacant job

Today, there is a lack of safe meeting places for LGBTQI individuals in the region, which is in demand by our members. We know that older LGBTQI individuals experience involuntary loneliness, and one in four LGBTQI youth refrain from participating in leisure activities.

RFSL Jämtland Härjedalen is running a project funded by the National Board of Health and Welfare to reduce involuntary loneliness in the region. To implement the project, we are hiring a person as an activity coordinator who can work on creating meeting places throughout the region.

RFSL Jämtland Härjedalen is an association for homosexuals, bisexuals, transgender individuals, queer, and intersex individuals in Jämtland and Härjedalen. The association's work includes social activities, information activities in schools, sexual health initiatives, and political advocacy. Currently, we have 4 employees. RFSL is an anti-racist and feminist organization.

Your task will also involve outreach work with young and older LGBTQI individuals at places like youth centers and nursing homes, to subsequently create targeted activities for and with both younger and older individuals.

It is important that you can take a holistic approach to the project's goals and can plan, implement, and evaluate continuously, as well as work effectively and create good collaboration with your colleagues.

You will be responsible for documenting your work and reporting on the project with the employer at the end of the year. You are also expected to be part of the work to seek new project funding.
