Your role

The assignment involves taking advantage of visitors' resources from a promoting perspective and offering opportunities for our children and young people to realize their ideas. The unit's task is to develop work to both increase youth participation and the youth-produced range of activities. The KEKS curriculum is a support in the work. Young people's own projects, competencies, and interests are at the center. A large part of the operations takes place outdoors year-round. All operations have a strong focus on movement, sports, and health.

Your most common tasks include:

• Plan and carry out activities within the area of violence prevention MVP leisure
• Plan and carry out holiday activities and various events
• Administrative work, planning, collaboration, and outreach activities
• Participate in play and activities together with the children when the facility is open
• Spread information about the open leisure activities, guide new children to participate in the content of the activities, and work outreach in partner schools.

Your competence and experience

For this position, you are required to have:

• Education as a youth worker (fritidsledare) or alternatively a youth pedagogue/teacher in youth centers equivalent to two years of study
• Experience working with children and young people
• Good knowledge of the Swedish language in both speech and writing

We consider the following to be meritorious:

• Experience with documentation in KEKS
• Experience working at an open meeting place
• Experience working within disability-focused activities, including adapted activities, interaction, and support for children and young people with various functional variations

We are looking for you who have a genuine interest in children's and young people's leisure time and who are driven by strengthening children and young people in their development through informal learning. You are proactive and have the ability to be flexible in your role without fear of looking foolish, for example through play during activities. You are service-oriented and have good collaboration skills.
