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 in organizing their leisure time, finding a friend, trying out holiday jobs, and we run activities that promote meetings between people.

Passalen is covered by a collective agreement and has offices in several locations in 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 operations are carried out through various programs and projects. In this role, you will work within Clubs by Passalen. This program offers children and young people with disabilities the opportunity to participate in open leisure activities, such as activities at youth centers, swimming pools, and sports facilities. We act as a bridge to enable children and young people with disabilities to take part in open leisure time. We maintain dialogue with participants to create the prerequisites for each individual's participation.

Through the program, participants receive support to join various activities, such as crafts, gaming, board games, and sports. The goal is to help participants meet new friends, develop their social skills, and increase their participation in society.

We also engage in outreach work to reach our target group and show that we are there. We do this by contacting participants via phone and by visiting schools and other places where the target group is located.

Job Description

Your work as an activity coach primarily involves conducting various clubs in open leisure time together with our participants. A club could, for example, be an activity at a youth center such as baking, playing video games, or crafting, a visit to a swimming pool, or trying out a sport. You actively participate in the organized activities and support all participants in joining based on their prerequisites, abilities, and needs. You are there as a role model and friend for Passalen's participants, with the task of ensuring that every participant feels seen and welcome.

Collaboration is an important part of the role. You should enjoy working in a team but also be able to work independently. Your main goal is to ensure that Passalen's participants are included in regular leisure activities.

This is a part-time job on afternoons, evenings, and weekends, where you work approximately 1–2 shifts per week. One shift is about 3 hours long, and you may work at meeting places all over Gothenburg. The job also includes mandatory training sessions and meetings.

The employment starts in August 2026 and lasts for one term until December 2026, with a chance of extension for the next term.
