Vacant job

Seize the opportunity to work at one of Sweden's northernmost folk high schools, beautifully located at the mouth of the Kalix River, a couple of kilometers from the center of Kalix in Norrbotten County.

The folk high school is a form of adult education aimed primarily at adults aged 18 and older. Education at a folk high school is free and voluntary. This means that participants choose to attend folk high school and that the courses are free from central curricula and municipal adult education. What distinguishes the folk high school is conversation and collaborative learning in groups. It is common to work both practically and theoretically in projects. The education is adapted to the participants' prior knowledge and experiences, and they are allowed to influence their education.

Kalix folk high school offers education both on-site and remotely. Here, people from Kalix, other parts of the country, and even from the other side of the globe come together. Together, we uphold the ideals of folk education, such as respect, tolerance, and the belief in a fairer world. We contribute to folk education with the vision of focusing on each individual and we want to see people grow. With a high degree of individualized education, we ensure to capture different learning styles and adapt the education as far as we can according to needs.

We are now looking for a project worker for our ESF project, Utvägen, which works with participants who are neither studying nor working, aged 18-30 years. The project is three years long, and we collaborate with Kalix Municipality, Boden Municipality, and Sunderby Folk High School.

The work involves independently recruiting and guiding participants in the project, but you will collaborate with many different stakeholders, such as Kalix Municipality, Region Norrbotten, and also internally within Kalix Folk High School. You will be part of a project group led from Sunderby Folk High School but will have close cooperation with colleagues at Kalix Folk High School.

As a project worker in the Utvägen project, you will follow the participants throughout the project period.

You will be offered the opportunity to independently plan content in accordance with the project description in close collaboration with other colleagues in the project.

We are looking for someone who wants to be part of a team at Kalix Folk High School and work together with others to offer something unique to our participants. You need to be able to work independently, plan, implement, and evaluate your work.

To succeed in the role of project worker, we believe that you are a driven person and have some form of pedagogical/social pedagogical education and experience.

If you have experience from folk education, it is an advantage. It is an educational form where you have the opportunity to work creatively and where the boundaries are more open than in many other forms of study. Diversity, community, and joy permeate our education, and we are keen to maintain that at the school. It is also important for us that you share our pedagogical idea of individualized learning.

We offer you good employment conditions in the form of, among other things, wellness benefits, flexible working hours, and the possibility of remote work. The project is three years long, but since we believe you will enjoy working with us, we offer you a permanent position.

We see both gender balance and diversity as strengths and welcome applications from people with different backgrounds.
