Vacant job

Habo parish, located by the shores of Lake Vättern, about 15 km northwest of Jönköping, consists of three active and well-functioning congregations with many meeting places for both children and adults.

Habo is an expanding municipality with well-developed local services and the opportunity to live a good life close to nature and outdoor activities. Many families with children live in our municipality, which has about 13,080 inhabitants, of which approximately 8,350 are church members. In the parish with Habo, Gustav Adolf, and Brandstorp congregations, we are a team of 26 employees working around four churches and one chapel.

Our activities are broad, and we have a vibrant worship life, a stable economy, well-maintained buildings and cemeteries, and not least engaged employees, both paid and voluntary. As an employee with us, you will be part of a team that finds great joy in work and is curious about the future. We see it as important to be an open community with opportunities to grow and develop. In our renovated Church House in Habo, there are new, functional offices and parish rooms.

You have the drive to work independently but will also collaborate closely with a deacon assistant and the congregation's other employees and volunteers to develop the diaconal work. In Habo parish, we face new exciting challenges as we are in an innovative and developing phase.

We are looking for someone who:

• is ordained as a deacon in the Church of Sweden.
• previous experience in diaconal work within the Church of Sweden is an advantage.
• is well-grounded in the faith, confession, and teachings of the Church of Sweden.
• has a commitment to volunteer engagement.
• can meet people of all ages.
• can use digital tools and communicate easily in both speech and writing.
• has a knack for creating and developing relationships and working towards set goals.
• is responsible, structured, and has good collaboration skills.
• has a B driver's license and access to a car.
• We place great emphasis on personal qualities and suitability.
