Vacant job

For you who wish to realize the dream of living and working in a beautiful place with peace of mind and hands-on work, this is a great opportunity! Gotland is a fantastic island that does good for the whole person. The parish is located in the western part of the island. Here you will find everything you could possibly need to live a good life. Klinte parish consists of nine parishes with the central town being Klintehamn, nine medieval churches and graveyards, a centrally located chapel, and approximately 2,600 church members.

Klinte parish is looking for a parish priest with breadth, curiosity, and commitment. We are looking for someone who is called to all parts of parish life, not least the diaconal work. In addition to traditional duties such as services, baptisms, weddings, funerals, and confirmations, we would appreciate it if you were passionate about diaconal work.

We are looking for a priest who can both step up to the pulpit and step down into the midst of people's lives – with sensitivity and courage.

In Klinte parish, you will find a musical and culturally interested work team that enjoys their work and each other. For example, we organize highly appreciated Christmas and Easter walks for primary school students. We are in the process of starting up a church center in Klintehamn with our Harbor Church and the adjacent Kyrkvilla. Already now, children's choirs and adult choirs rehearse there, "klucku tei" (a local tradition) is held, and there is a youth club. The vision for the future is a meeting place for everyone.

We would like you to:

• have the desire to develop and drive the parish's life together with the work team and voluntary staff.
• be confident in leading services and meeting people in all stages of life.
• contribute to strengthening the church's presence in society.
• wish to be a constructive part of a work team with engaged and knowledgeable staff.
• enjoy working in groups and individually, be flexible, and have good collaboration skills.
• have the ability to bring others forward and make volunteers visible.
• be computer literate and skilled at expressing yourself in speech and writing.

Working hours will be during both daytime and evening, weekdays and weekends, as well as at camps as they occur. A driver's license and own car are required for the position. We assume that you share the values of the Church of Sweden and, of course, are ordained. Applications from non-ordained individuals will not be considered. Start date by agreement.
