Vallentuna Municipality has the courage to lead. Our ambition is to be at the forefront when it comes to innovative solutions, smart working methods, and an efficient organization. As an employee, you play an important role in development work. The municipality as a workplace is characterized by a consensus between politics and operations, where the common interest and responsibility for Vallentuna's best shine through. Treatment, accessibility, and customer focus are important in our work for good results and increased quality.

Engagement, collaboration, and the equal value of all should permeate our organization. You who apply should naturally share our common values.

About the operations:

The Department of Culture and Leisure drives, supports, and develops activities that contribute to offering all municipal residents opportunities for an active and meaningful leisure time. This includes sports facilities and leaders, libraries and general cultural activities, youth and active leisure, senior activities, and support for association life as well as measures for outdoor life and public health with a focus on movement.

You participate in and drive development processes within the association area. This can, for example, involve developing the work with local booking and how the municipality's sports facilities, cultural venues, and other relevant premises are used in an efficient and purposeful way. It can also involve processing and developing the forms for association support, strengthening dialogue with associations, or contributing to new working methods and solutions based on the needs of association life.

In the role, you plan and lead dialogues with associations and other actors, capture needs and perspectives, and translate them into concrete improvements. You participate in and lead projects and collaboration efforts within the association area, with a special focus on cultural, outdoor, and sports associations, as well as other associations within the culture and leisure area.

You are also an important link between association life and the municipality. Through ongoing dialogue, you contribute to long-term relationships and to creating good conditions for a strong, inclusive, and sustainable association life in Vallentuna. The assignment also includes working in and being the system administrator for the municipality's booking and grant system, as well as contributing to the development of the system.

• have worked with association development, local booking, or association support.
• have experience of working within the culture, sports, or outdoor area.
• have experience of Power BI or similar tools for reporting and analysis.

Personal qualities:

• You work towards results, show reliability, and take responsibility for planning and follow-up of your work.
• You strengthen relationships by helping others, collaborating, following rules and processes, and sharing information.
• You develop, improve, seek solutions, learning, and knowledge on your own initiative.
• You are the link, provide service, show loyalty outwardly and inwardly, and monitor the external environment.
• Common values are visible in your treatment of others.
• You are sensitive to the needs of the associations and have a clear development focus.
