Vacant job

Källstorp Parish is Sweden’s southernmost parish, with a view of the Smygehuk lighthouse from our offices. The parish has nine churches, all of which are in use, but the main Sunday service is held in Östra Torp Church in Smygehamn. Many people move to the parish, attracted by the long southern coastline and open landscape. Others have deep roots here, going back generations. We offer stimulating and intensive work even during the summer.

The position includes, in addition to usual priestly duties such as conducting services, counseling, church ceremonies, and confirmation classes, working together with other staff to maintain and especially nurture relationships with the parish’s children and young people, as well as being responsible for the confirmation work.

We also expect the assistant priest to cover for the vicar during their vacation.

Källstorp Parish has voluntary workers, and cooperation with them is important.

The Mass and the community surrounding it are our clear center.

We are looking for you who are:

• Social and enjoy working with people of all ages
• Self-assured
• Engaged and curious
• Flexible and easy to collaborate with

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

A valid driver’s license is required.

The position is full-time (100%) and permanent.

Start date: November 1st or by agreement.

We look forward to meeting you!

For more information, please contact Vicar Helena Törnklev at 0703-924361.
