Communications, activities assistant and sacristan sought for Stengård Church

As our current colleague retires, Stengård Church is seeking a proactive and outgoing employee. You will handle the church's communication, develop and run activities for the parish residents, and manage sexton duties. We are looking for you who have ideas, take initiative and thrive in bringing tasks to life – from the first idea to the practical implementation.

Your tasks

You will play a central role in making Stengård Church visible and creating life in the parish in close collaboration with the rest of the team. The tasks are divided into two main areas:

• Communication and activities:

You handle and develop the church's visibility on the website, social media and newsletters. You also contribute with ideas for the development of church activities and offerings, and you participate in planning, coordination and practical execution of selected activities and events in cooperation with the church's other employees.

• Sexton tasks:

You become part of the church office and cooperate with our other sexton on civil registry, citizen service as well as administration and participation in services and ecclesiastical actions.

It is an advantage if you have knowledge of sexton work, but not a requirement. If you do not have the Ministry of Church's mandatory education in civil registration, this must be completed within the first two years.

Who are you?

We expect that you

• Are outgoing, idea-rich and good at building trustful contact with many different people.
• Can develop activities and turn ideas into concrete offerings.
• Are strong in written communication and have experience with social media, website editing and preferably graphical layout.
• See the sexton role and civil registration as an important daily task.
• Work independently and structured, but also are good at collaborating and thrive with a daily routine where tasks vary.
• Are familiar with the Church of Denmark framework and willing to work in evenings and on weekends in connection with events.

We offer

• A versatile position with good opportunities to contribute to and develop the church's communication and activities.
• An workplace with room to shape your own tasks.
• A close, engaged and informal collaboration with the church's priests, staff and parish council.
• A visible and meaningful role in the local community, where you combine creativity with administration.

Salary and terms of employment

The employment is in accordance with the joint collective agreement between the Ministry of Finance and CO10 as well as the organizational agreement for sextons. The annual salary is agreed with the Danish Sextons' Association within the range 333,748 – 392,153 DKK per year (full-time, level as of 1 August 2026) based on competencies and experience. In addition, there is a housing/availability allowance of 39,597 DKK per year, an OK allowance of 3,476 DKK per year as well as pension contributions. There is a 3-month probation period, and a criminal background and child protection check will be obtained.

Further information about the position can be obtained by contacting the daily manager, Lars Grindsted, tel. 3011 6141 or e-mail [email protected].

Can you see yourself in the job? Then we look forward to hearing from you.
