About Passalen

Passalen is a non-profit organization that works for a more inclusive society that recognizes 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 while contributing to a more inclusive and socially sustainable society.

About Jubileumsparken

Jubileumsparken is located in Frihamnen, 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 operated 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.

About the position as a sailing instructor

As a sailing instructor, you will help park visitors sail in our access dinghies. An access dinghy is designed for everyone to be able to sail in it – it is easy to sail and hard to capsize.

In spring and autumn, we have school sailing from Monday to Thursday. School classes come to try sailing. During the summer, we have sailing camps on weekdays for children and young people, as well as open sailing on weekends where everyone can come and try sailing, canoeing, and SUP.

You will work together with a sailing team to welcome visitors, show how sailing works, and help them while being responsible for safety during their time there.

Examples of tasks

· Set up and take down boats

· Instruct children and adults on how to sail

· Participate in sailing camps for children with sailing and other activities

· Drive a motorboat and ensure a safe sailing activity

· Clean and maintain the park

· Manage rentals and provide instructions for sailing, canoeing, and SUP (stand-up paddleboard)

No prior knowledge is required; you will learn on-site. We are looking for both staff who can work daytime weekdays and weekend staff.

About you

We are looking for someone who enjoys working outdoors in all weather, likes to collaborate, and is eager to learn new things.

Previous experience in sailing is a merit, but not a requirement. You will receive introductory training and learn on-site.

As sailing is a water activity, you need to be able to swim at least 200 meters, including 50 on your back. This will be checked before employment begins.

The most important thing is that you have curiosity and a willingness to learn. It is a merit if you can work the entire period from April to September.

This job is suitable for someone studying in high school or university and looking for a summer job.

As Jubileumsparken is a public meeting place, we welcome all applications. One of the most important things for us is to have a good mix of employees. We place great emphasis on personal suitability. For this position, you cannot submit a CV; instead, please fill out the application form as thoroughly as possible.
