Vacant job

Medborgarskolan in Falkenberg is looking for a Silver Smithing Course Leader

We are looking for you who want to lead silver smithing courses in Falkenberg and make it possible for more people to discover the joy of this craft.

With us, you get to combine your interest in silver smithing with a commitment to people and learning.

This role suits you if you are looking for a creative side project alongside work, your own business, studies, or retirement.

The planned course start is the spring semester of 2027.

About the Role

We are looking for someone with good knowledge of silver smithing who wants to share their craft in an enjoyable and pedagogical way.

As a course leader, you are responsible for planning and conducting silver smithing courses together with us at Medborgarskolan.

You lead groups in a safe and clear manner, creating an atmosphere where participants feel comfortable trying, asking questions, and developing at their own pace.

The courses take place at Medborgarskolan in Falkenberg.

The exact format, times, and course content are planned together with you as the course leader.

The role includes, among other things:

• planning course structure, modules, and exercises
• leading practical course sessions in small groups
• guiding participants individually and in groups
• contributing to good order, working environment, and safety during course sessions
• keeping attendance records and maintaining dialogue with the responsible business developer

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who has both craft knowledge and an interest in people and learning. You do not need to be a teacher by background, but you should enjoy meeting people, explaining, and demonstrating practical procedures.

We would appreciate it if you

• have good experience with silver smithing
• are confident in basic techniques and workshop work
• are accustomed to working safely with tools, materials, and equipment
• are pedagogical, receptive, and structured
• can adapt teaching to adult beginners with different prior knowledge
• communicate clearly in Swedish

Previous experience in holding courses, workshops, or mentoring others is an advantage, but the most important thing is that you have good subject knowledge and want to share it in a safe and inspiring way.

Employment and Scope

This is a fee-based course leader role through an object-based employment contract.

This means the employment is linked to the courses that start and to the hours the course covers.

The role is not a full-time or part-time employment with fixed hours, but fits best as a side job alongside other activities.

Courses start when we have a finalized plan and sufficient participant numbers. The scope may therefore vary over time.

What We Offer

As a course leader at Medborgarskolan, you get the opportunity to share your craft in a non-formal adult education environment where the participants' curiosity is at the center.

You receive support with administration, course planning, and marketing, while also having a say in the course content and format.

With us, you become an important part of an organization that aims to create accessible and inspiring meeting places for learning, creativity, and community.

Application

Please send a short presentation of yourself and tell us about your experience with silver smithing. Feel free to describe if you have held courses, workshops, or mentored others before, as well as what type of beginner course you would like to lead.

If you have photos or examples of your own work, you are welcome to attach them.

Selection and dialogue take place on an ongoing basis.
