Would you like to be part of building a vibrant musical life in everyday activities and celebrations? Are you at the beginning of your career, or ready for a new challenge? We are seeking a cantor who wants to engage in the congregation's activities and in an innovative way help enable a church for the future! You are welcome to join a team characterized by positivity and commitment.
Job Responsibilities
With us, you will have a unique opportunity to work with the congregation's musical activities in an inclusive and inspiring environment. We are looking for someone who wants to work broadly, engage themselves, and develop the congregation's activities and musical life in close collaboration with colleagues.
Your responsibilities will include playing at services and church ceremonies, and you will work with an adult choir and, together with other musicians in the congregation, make singing accessible for children and youth. With your musical expertise, you will help develop, enrich, and inspire the congregation's life.
You will be welcomed by a positive and committed team of 12 people with high expertise consisting of priests, deacons, educators, an organist, parish musicians, hostesses, and sexton.
The congregation has two churches: Fors Church with roots dating back to the 1100s and St. Andrew's Church completed in 1988. Both of our churches have high-quality organs.
In addition to the above areas of responsibility, other musical projects, activities, and pastorate-wide arrangements may be included. The work also includes some administrative tasks and travel within the pastorate.
Work on evenings, weekends, and holidays is included.

• Good computer skills as they are used in daily work

With us, it is important to be willing and dare to step outside the church walls to create relationships and engagement.
