About Passalen

Passalen is a non-profit association working for a more inclusive society that sees the potential in every child. We create inclusion for children and young people with disabilities who need support organizing their leisure time, finding a friend, or trying out holiday jobs. We also run activities that promote meetings between people.

Passalen is covered by a collective agreement and operates in several locations across Sweden. As an employee here, you will develop and learn on the job while contributing to a more inclusive and socially sustainable society.

Program-specific information

Passalen’s operations are carried out through various programs and projects. In this role, you will primarily work within Clubs by Passalen. Clubs by Passalen is a program that offers children and young people with disabilities the opportunity to participate in open leisure activities, such as those at youth centers, swimming pools, and sports facilities. We act as a bridge to enable children and young people with disabilities to participate in open leisure time. We maintain dialogue with participants to create the necessary conditions for each individual's participation.

Through the program, participants receive support to join various activities, such as crafts, gaming, board games, and sports. The goal is to help participants meet new friends, develop their social skills, and increase their participation in society. We also engage in outreach work to reach our target group and let them know we exist. We do this by contacting participants via phone and visiting schools and other places where the target group is located.

Job Description

Your work as an activity leader primarily involves facilitating various clubs in open leisure time together with our participants. In this role, you will also work with Passalen’s "Girls' Hangout" (Tjejhäng), a targeted activity for girls and non-binary individuals. A club in open leisure time could, for example, be an activity at a youth center such as baking, playing video games, or crafting, a visit to a swimming pool, or trying out a sport.

You actively participate in the organized activities and support all participants in joining based on their conditions, abilities, and needs. You are there as a role model and friend for Passalen’s participants, with the task of ensuring that every participant feels seen and welcome. Collaboration is a key part of the role; you should enjoy working in a team but also be able to work independently.

During activities, you may have additional responsibility for the implementation, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and that all participants feel safe and engaged. The role of activity leader requires you to structure and lead your shifts independently based on the organization's needs. In addition to the practical work with activities, simpler administrative tasks may arise, such as working with Google Docs and Canva. You need to be proactive, self-reliant, and capable of driving the work forward.

This is a part-time job with varying hours. The work takes place in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. The position covers approximately 3–6 hours per week. The employment begins in August 2026 and lasts for one term until December 2026, with the possibility of extension for the next term.
