Streams of living water – welcome to Trollhättan!

Trollhättan, beautifully located at the far west of the Diocese of Skara, approximately 70 km north of Gothenburg, is a city with both pulse and proximity. Here you will find good transport connections and excellent commuting opportunities. In the heart of the city flows the mighty waterfall channel, which has given power and life for generations, while the locks have opened up paths for trade and encounters between people.

Trollhättan is a city characterized by innovation, courage, and the ability to adapt – values that also permeate the Parish of Trollhättan. Since 2022, the entire city forms a single parish with four churches. The parish is also active at Norra Älvsborg County Hospital and University West, collaborating with several external actors in society.

Our vision is clear: "to be present in the life that is."

About the position

We offer a varied and inspiring position where you will work with services and church ceremonies, lead a classical church choir, and be an active part of the long-term development work regarding choir activities, musical services, and concert life.

Your main placement is in Lextorp Church, but you will also be active in Trollhättan Church, especially in concert contexts in close collaboration with the parish's other musicians.

The musical prerequisites are very good:

• In Lextorp Church, there is a Steinway grand piano and a two-manual organ with 21 stops.
• In Trollhättan Church, there are two organs: a three-manual main organ with 35 stops and a two-manual choir organ with 14 stops – as well as a Steinway grand piano.
• A far-advanced process is also underway for a new balcony organ, which opens up exciting opportunities for the future.

You will become part of the "Södra" work team, an engaged team of approximately 25 employees, of whom three are church musicians.

The parish is part of the network "The Future Lives With Us," where Lextorp Church is located in an area that reflects the whole world. Both Lextorp Church and Trollhättan Church function as living meeting places where people meet across boundaries – an inspiring environment for music and community.

Your qualifications

The position is a church musician position (Kantor), but offers tasks at a high musical level with room to shape parts of the assignment based on your interests and strengths.

We are looking for you who:

• Have a genuine commitment to people and parish life
• See and use the power of music for people's well-being – physically, psychologically, spiritually, and socially
• Are a secure and responsive colleague who thrives in collaboration, contributes own ideas, and inspires in various contexts
