The position is 37 hours per week.

We are seeking a welcoming and helpful person with a positive relationship to the Church of Denmark. A person who is able to engage positively in collaboration with the parish council, priests and the parish's other staff groups, and who at the same time can work independently with the various tasks, which among other things include church service during worship services and religious ceremonies, servicing at meetings and events, preparation of rooms and cleaning. Participation in events outside the churches may occasionally occur.
