Diaconal Strategist at Diaconia Center

Linköping Cathedral Parish – a parish that makes a difference. At Linköping Cathedral Parish, people with deep expertise in theology, diaconia, education, music, administration, and service work together. Between and within each professional group, there is room for knowledge exchange, reflection, laughter, and good conversations. Our goal is to make the best use of each other's resources, work together, and continuously develop based on our vision "For the world to live." The parish's mission is to contribute to a good society and strengthen church traditions with a special focus on baptism and confirmation. The Cathedral Parish consists of nine congregations. We hold services in 11 churches where many volunteers contribute to vibrant congregational life. We have more than 200 employed staff members with a shared administration that provides professional support with relevant expertise in finance, HR, funeral and property matters, facility management, communication, and IT. We are now seeking a Diaconal Strategist who wants to help drive our diaconal development work forward. About the position The position can be divided into three areas: strategic development work, serving as a support function for the entire parish, and responsibility for migration issues and economic support. As a Diaconal Strategist, you will coordinate the parish's shared diaconal work, with a focus on building stable diaconal competence, establishing external relationships, and working proactively and long-term to continuously develop our diaconia. You will be part of the Diaconia Center, which consists of two staff members, and you will work alongside another Diaconal Strategist who is also the unit manager. Linköping Cathedral Parish plays an important role as a societal actor and is active in many different forums and networks.

Within DEM, people seeking support will be able to book appointments for conversations and practical support regarding their financial matters. Your task will be to conduct in-depth financial assessments with a focus on helping those you meet move forward. This work will be carried out in close collaboration with our parish deacons, government authorities, and Linköping Municipality. It is essential that you have the drive and interest to familiarize yourself with the regulations of government agencies and the municipality in order to best support those seeking help. This requires you to stay up to date with current legislation. The role also includes driving advocacy work in society on current issues and conducting dialogue with key external actors. In addition, the position also includes liturgical duties in the cathedral to some extent.
