Description
Visby Cathedral Parish wants to be a natural and important place for young people, where education, relationships, and deepening create belonging, growth, and grounding in Christian faith and parish life. We are now looking for you to help lead this work forward.
Together with educators, you will be part of the parish's children and youth team and collaborate with other priests, deacons, and musicians. You will have the opportunity to help establish a cathedral pedagogy team.
Responsibilities
Confirmands and Youth
Lead and develop confirmation work together with our committed confirmation team. Build on relationships after confirmation through leader training, youth evenings, and activities within Svenska kyrkans Unga. Collaborate with the dialogue center TvåRum.
Church & School
Participate in school work together with our educators. Work to make the cathedral an inspiring learning environment where history, faith, and contemporary life meet. Offer thematic gatherings and activities in collaboration with schools.
Deeepening in the Parish
Facilitate discussion groups, Bible studies, and provide theological guidance for youth and young adults. Deepen and develop the parish's baptism work. Work closely with music, worship life, and diaconal care to create a wholeness where education and deepening naturally are woven into parish life.
Services and Church Rites
Services and church rites according to schedule.
Qualifications
You are an ordained priest in Svenska kyrkan and secure in your theological grounding. We are looking for someone who:
Finds it easy to build trusting relationships, enjoys collaboration, and contributes to a good work environment.
Has an open, inclusive, and respectful approach, is confident in yourself, unpretentious, and solution-oriented.
We place great emphasis on personal qualities—what matters most is that you want to make a difference for young people and for the parish as a whole.
What We Offer
Welcome to a warm, creative, and dynamic workplace with high satisfaction! We offer great opportunities for development and professional training, including:
The Rainbow Key, Environmental Certification level 2, and opportunities for development through employee participation and leadership training.
Here you will have the chance to grow with us and be part of important and meaningful work in the heart of Visby.
Your Application
Your application should include a personal letter, CV, priest's certificate, and documentation according to 34 ch. 10 § 2 st of the Church Order (prepared to serve in all positions together with others ordained to a role within the church's ordained ministry regardless of their gender).
You must also be able to provide an extract from the criminal records register.
Regarding recruitment, we have already made decisions about recruitment channels and marketing. We therefore strongly decline contact from media sales representatives, recruitment sites, or similar.
Visby and Gotland
Gotland is home to 92 medieval churches, making Gotland Sweden's most church-dense municipality. The historic Hanseatic town of Visby is a world heritage site, but today's Visby also consists of much more outside the city wall. On Gotland we can take pride in a rich cultural and entertainment scene, restaurants, and small and medium-sized local food producers. Take the opportunity to live on an island shaped by wind and water, rich in limestone and beautiful sunsets.Description
