About the workplace

The Eskilstuna Pastorate consists of four parishes, a large funeral service, two preschools, and a broad support function with many different competencies.

The Pastorate's funeral service consists of two main parts: service, which is responsible for administration, chapels, and crematorium, and the cemetery, which is responsible for the maintenance and development of the Pastorate's six cemeteries. The cemeteries we care for are St. Eskil's Cemetery approx. 5 km outside Eskilstuna, the Monastery Cemetery in central Eskilstuna, and the rural cemeteries in Gillberga, Lista, Öja, and Västermo.

The cemetery operations are divided into four work teams, each with a work leader. We are now looking for a new work leader for one of the two work teams at St. Eskil's Cemetery.
