• As a sports worker in the ice and sports hall, you will take care of the ice and sports hall for our visitors, as well as manage equipment and materials used by schools, associations, or the public.

With us, you will have a varied everyday life, a meaningful job in an innovative and inclusive environment alongside a dedicated team with strong team spirit. You will also have the opportunity to make a difference for health in Angered.

Working hours vary and may include daytime, evening, and weekend shifts.
