About the Job

About Passalen

Passalen is a non-profit organization that works for a more inclusive society that sees the potential in all children. We create inclusion for children and young people with disabilities who need support in organizing their leisure time, finding a friend, or trying out summer jobs, and we conduct activities that promote meetings between people.

Passalen is affiliated with collective agreements and is present in several locations in Sweden. As an employee with us, you will develop and learn on the job and contribute to a more inclusive and socially sustainable society.

About Jubileumsparken

Jubileumsparken is located in Frihamnen in Gothenburg. Here you can visit the harbor bath, try sailing, canoeing, or visit the sauna. In the summer of 2023, a greener and larger park with more pools opened, and in 2024, the popular sauna was reopened.

Jubileumsparken is run by the Passalen association through an IOP (idea-driven public partnership) between Passalen and the City of Gothenburg. Together with the City of Gothenburg, we take on the challenge of making Jubileumsparken an open and inclusive meeting place where everyone should feel welcome.
