Project Coordinator for Tenants in Focus

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 to advocate for tenants' interests, rights, and opportunities to influence their housing in the future.

Region South-East is a large geographical region that spans 52 municipalities and five counties. We have offices in Jönköping, Linköping, and Växjö. We have over 80,000 members and approximately 100 employees in the region. We now want to increase our presence and visibility, both physically and digitally, in our residential areas and cities within the region, with a special focus on areas where we currently have low presence and visibility.

About the Position

We are looking for a project coordinator for our project Tenants in Focus. As a project coordinator, you will work alongside a project manager and three community development workers as part of the project team, tasked with realizing the expectations outlined in our project plan.

The project will work in selected areas, community areas without a board, focusing on increasing the number of members and engaged members, as well as developing methods that can be used in future organizing and inclusion efforts. The project will select at least one area where we work on housing integration and increased local organizing from a “whole city perspective,” focusing on organizing and inclusion.

The project team works agilely and exploratively, where we are constantly seeking to find new methods and develop our current methods to reach new target groups among tenants and provide them with knowledge about their opportunities to influence.

About You

You are well aware of the value of voluntary engagement for community development and people's belief in the future. You actively contribute to ensuring that we, as an organization, work in ways that allow our members to engage in the forms they choose and in the issues they want to influence. You believe in every person's willingness and ability to engage and actively work to instill courage in them to try. You are well aware that you represent the Tenants' Association and strive in all aspects to convey the benefits of membership and the strength of local organizing.

At the same time, you lay the groundwork for the project's working methods with a focus on documentation and learning. Therefore, you have good planning and coordination skills and can adapt your daily work based on others' needs.

Building and maintaining good relationships comes naturally to you, and you enjoy communicating on the terms of the target groups.

You are accustomed to describing processes and methods, both verbally and in writing, as well as through visualizations.

You have good analytical skills and possess knowledge of how to use various search channels to gather insights about tenants and our members. You also have competencies in mapping and gathering research, reports, and other types of knowledge related to voluntary work, democracy, and inclusion, as well as housing integration.

Your Main Responsibilities:

• You drive and support work in our residential areas by coaching community developers.

• Has experience in coaching and leading other people.
• Can work independently while also being able to easily adapt to collaborating with others.

The Tenants' Association is divided into nine regions across the country. The work and needs may vary depending on the geographical area. All regions coordinate the efforts needed for their respective districts, and all expertise is gathered in the form of lawyers, negotiators, and business developers. As an organization, we are passionate about ensuring that everyone has the right to good housing at a reasonable cost.

Region South-East is a workplace that spans 52 municipalities and six counties. We have just over 70,000 members and about 100 employees. We have a number of qualified professional groups, and our employees work independently with great responsibility, thus having significant development opportunities. Different professional groups often work together, as well as with elected representatives and in direct contact with members. This requires employees to feel part of the whole organization and understand the significance of operating within a grassroots movement.
