Communicator for the Organization

Do you want to work with communication that makes a difference and contribute to developing NKJT's visibility, impact, and relationships with our target groups? We are now looking for a communicator who combines strategic thinking with operational effectiveness.

As a communicator at NKJT, you will play a central role in the organization's communication efforts alongside another communicator.

The work includes, among other things, web, social media, printed materials, and other external communication. You will act as a spider in the web and collaborate closely with colleagues and external actors.

We offer a varied and developing role in an organization where communication is an important part of the operations and where you have the opportunity to influence and shape the communication work. The position is 100% and is temporary until 2027 with the possibility of extension.

About the National Women's Shelter and Support in Sign Language

The National Women's Shelter and Support in Sign Language, NKJT, has been Sweden's leading competence center and the only support and service organization focused on deaf, hard of hearing, and deafblind children, youth, women, non-binary individuals, and others who have been, are, or are at risk of being subjected to violence, or who need support in Swedish sign language since 2019. With our expertise in sign language and violence victimization, we offer qualified conversational support, assistance in contacts with authorities, and, when necessary, sign language-protected accommodation in close collaboration with social services. We also run two online-based shelters in sign language – one for children and youth and one for women and girls as well as non-binary individuals experiencing violence. As a national competence center in this area, we spread knowledge and experiences to improve support for sign language users across the country.
