Parish Priest for Arjeplog-Arvidsjaur Parish

Popis:

Do you want to lead the church's life in a safe and nature-close part of Sweden with room to both be and act? Here is the opportunity to step into a meaningful position – in a parish where people care about each other and where the church plays a natural role in everyday life. Apply by August 31! The Arjeplog-Arvidsjaur Parish comprises two congregations with approximately 8,700 residents. We work in a part of the country characterized by calm, safety, and freedom and one of the country's lowest crime rates. Here several cultures and languages meet, and you always have close access to mountains, forests, and lakes. The parish is located within a forest and mountain Sámi area, where proximity to Sámi culture reflects aspects of the parish's activities. Church life is vibrant and varied, with nine churches and chapels – from urban centers to mountain environments. Music and choir activities are an important part of congregational life, and throughout the year the church meets people in many different contexts: in churches, villages, homes, and in institutions. About You We are looking for someone who is ordained and qualified to be a parish priest. You have experience with or training in leadership and operational responsibility. As a person, you are confident in your leadership and in your role as a priest you build trust and good relationships. You have a structured approach and see possibilities in rural conditions. It is advantageous if you have experience with or training in change management. About the Position We offer a position where there is room to shape work methods and priorities based on the organization's needs and your strengths. Within the framework of the parish priest's overall responsibility, there is an organization with support resources and structure, which provides good conditions for delegating tasks and creating balance between different aspects of leadership. As a parish priest, you are both a leader and a shepherd. You bear overall responsibility for operations, staff, and development, and you do this in close collaboration with elected representatives, employees, and volunteer staff. You lead through dialogue and clarity, and contribute to a work environment where there is structure, trust, and room to grow. Our ambition is to enable present leadership in the congregation's life and core mission, while administrative and organizational matters are handled through appropriate division of responsibility and support within the organization. This is a position where we see possibilities rather than ready-made templates. For the right person, there is openness regarding how the work is shaped, with respect for the church's responsibility and mission. This could, for example, involve how certain areas are organized and what support resources are used, in order to create good conditions to both lead and be present in what is at the core of the mission. The parish office is located in Arvidsjaur and pool cars are available for official travel. You have the option to live where it suits you best within the parish, and we offer support in connection with relocation.Do you want to lead the church's life in a safe and nature-close part of Sweden with room to both be and act?
