Community Developer at Hyresgästföreningen Region Mitt

Every day, the Tenants' Association, its elected representatives, employees, and members contribute to improving housing for people. We have been doing this for many years, and we want to continue advocating for tenants' interests, rights, and opportunities to influence their housing in the future.

We now need reinforcement and are looking for a community developer for the Tenants' Association Region Mitt.

Your mission

As a community developer, you play an important role in developing our movement. The main task is to increase people's engagement.

Your mission includes developing cooperation with housing companies, municipalities, and other organizations to broaden our organization and reach new target groups. The position involves planning, following up, and reporting on activities, as well as working with agreements and project applications. Since financial reporting may occur in the role, it is required that you have knowledge of economics and experience working with financial documents.

You have experience in driving projects and see opportunities in diversity. For everyone working at the Tenants' Association, it is essential that you share our values and have a commitment to the issues we advocate. In the role of community developer, you have:

• A university degree or equivalent competence
• Relevant work experience
• Experience from non-profit organizations is an advantage
• Education and/or experience in project work is an advantage
