About Passalen

Passalen is a non-profit association working for a more inclusive society that sees the potential in every child. We create inclusion for children and young people with disabilities who need support organizing their leisure time, finding a friend, or trying out holiday jobs. We also run activities that promote meetings between people.

Passalen is covered by a collective agreement and operates in several locations across Sweden. As an employee here, you will develop and learn on the job while contributing to a more inclusive and socially sustainable society.

Program-specific information

Passalen’s activities are carried out through various programs and projects. In this role, you will work in the Weekend Club. The Weekend Club is a pedagogical program where children and young people with disabilities are given the opportunity to practice social interaction in a small group based on shared interests. Participants are divided into groups based on broad interest areas such as games, sports, and arts.

The Weekend Club is a recurring weekend activity. Some groups meet on both Saturday and Sunday once a month, while other groups meet either on Saturday or Sunday every other weekend.

The activities take place at various locations depending on the group. All groups occasionally visit open meeting places, such as cinemas, museums, gaming cafes, bowling alleys, or similar venues, depending on the group's theme.

Job Description

As an Activity Leader, you are expected to be curious about meeting people who are different from yourself and ensure that all participants feel seen and included.

This is a part-time weekend job where you work approximately 1 weekend per month, along with preparatory work before the weekend and follow-up work afterwards. The workload averages approx. 5–6 hours per week, with variations depending on the week during the term.

The job also includes mandatory training sessions and meetings held during weekday evenings.

The employment starts in August 2026 and covers one term until December 2026, with the possibility of extension for the next term.
