About Södertälje Parish and the Church of Sweden

Södertälje Parish is part of the Church of Sweden and consists of the parishes of Södertälje, Östertälje, and Enhörna, a cemetery administration, and an office.

Together, we work to be a present church in people's everyday lives – in joy and sorrow, in faith and doubt. Our mission is to meet people with care, respect, and commitment, and to contribute to a sustainable society where both people and the environment can thrive.

The parish office is an important support function for our entire operation. Here, there are several employees who work with member services and bookings, finance/purchasing, communication, personnel issues, IT/telephony, and properties. Our mission is to provide support to members, elected representatives, parishes, and administration so they can focus on their core activities. All employees at the office also work in various forms in a Service Bureau where we provide support to other parishes within the Church of Sweden. We now want to strengthen our office with an Administrator.

We are looking for someone who wants a central role in our operations and enjoys creating structure, providing service, and being a support for others. As an administrator in our office, you are an important part of the daily work and contribute to the smooth and professional functioning of the operations.

In this role, you will be responsible for managing bookings and providing administrative support to our various activities. You have many points of contact and are often the one who coordinates, informs, and ensures that things are in the right place. The role requires integrity, good communication skills, a service-oriented approach, and a sense of structure and order.

We are looking for someone who is organized, solution-oriented, and enjoys supporting others based on your assignment.
