Vacant job

Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan (SV) is one of Sweden's largest study associations with activities in all Swedish municipalities, offering creative meeting places that provide people with opportunities for knowledge, education, and civic engagement through study circles and cultural events.

We are looking for a colleague who, with their skills, interest, and commitment, can drive and develop our operations primarily in Kalmar municipality. The place of employment is SV's office in Kalmar.

We are flexible regarding the employment rate but want to be between 80 – 100% service, permanent with a 6-month probationary period.

This is an outgoing position where a large part of the work involves managing contacts with partner organizations but also creating contacts with new leaders, organizations, and associations. This may involve supporting association development, starting study circles, and organizing cultural events.

The role includes leading others by recruiting and introducing circle leaders.

The position as a development manager means that you are a trend spotter for tomorrow's study circles and courses, for which you will find participants. You enjoy innovative thinking and prioritize quality in folk education.

SV's focus is on reaching people who currently do not participate in folk education activities; if you have a drive to bring in people to our operations who have not been with us before, you will find the job enjoyable and rewarding.

SV values the qualities that diversity and gender balance bring to the organization and welcomes applicants with different backgrounds and life experiences for the position.

Your tasks will include both developing operations and administrative tasks. It is therefore important that you appreciate a varied job and can quickly switch between different tasks.

The operations you will work with primarily focus on these areas.

• Our collaborating associations.

• Our course activities for the public.

• Development and innovative operations.

• Operations related to disability rights.

You are driven by working independently but also enjoy working in a group. You find it fun to work in digital work environments.

Experience working with associations and course activities for the public is an advantage, as well as experience working with the target group of people with disabilities.

To succeed and thrive in the role of Development Manager, you are flexible and possess the ability to switch between both strategic and operational tasks.

You need to be able to independently manage your work, plan according to our operational plan and where the needs are. To do a good job, you need to be good at building relationships with, for example, associations, circle leaders, and participants.

As a person, you are passionate about folk education and enjoy working on development and improvements together with others. You have a developed ability to collaborate and a high understanding of how to communicate with other people. You are also comfortable using available IT tools for data management in our processes. In addition, we expect you to have excellent knowledge of Swedish in both spoken and written form. You also need at least a B driver's license and access to a car, as travel is required in the position.
