Program-Specific Information
Passalen's activities are conducted through various programs and projects. In this role, you will work in Clubs by Passalen. Clubs by Passalen is a program that offers children and youth with disabilities the opportunity to participate in open leisure activities, such as activities at youth centers, swimming pools, and sports facilities. We serve as a bridge to enable children and youth with disabilities to take part in open leisure time. We engage in dialogue with participants to create conditions for each individual's participation.
Through the program, participants receive support to engage in various activities, such as crafts, gaming, games, and sports. The goal is to help participants make new friends, develop their social skills, and increase their participation in society.
We also conduct outreach work to reach our target group and inform them about our existence. We do this by maintaining contact with participants via phone and visiting schools and other places where our target group is located.

Job Description
Your work as an Activity Coach primarily involves facilitating various clubs in open leisure time together with our participants. A club 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 activity and support all participants in taking part according to their circumstances, abilities, and needs. You serve as a role model and friend to Passalen's participants and have the task of ensuring that each participant feels seen and welcome. Collaboration is an important part of the role—you should enjoy working in a team but also need to be able to work independently. You work to ensure that Passalen's participants are included in regular leisure activities.
You also plan individual activities and school visits in consultation with your direct supervisor. During activities, you may have special responsibility for implementation, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and that all participants feel safe and engaged. In addition to practical work with activities, you may handle simple administrative tasks. This could include documentation or creating materials in Canva for communication and planning. You need to be proactive, self-driven, and able to drive the work forward based on your job description and schedule.
Work will primarily be based in Stockholm North (Sundbyberg, Järfälla, Sollentuna, and Vallentuna) but also at our office in Handen.
This is a fixed-term full-time position from August 17, 2026, to December 31, 2026, with the possibility of extension.
