Cultural Center Manager for Huset No7

House No7 is a community. A creative gathering place. A house filled with people, activities, volunteers, collaboration and social communities. House No7 means a lot in many peoples everyday lives.

Now we are looking for a new leader who can help us succeed even better as a cultural nest for strong communities, everyday culture and volunteering.

Our next leader is someone who understands culture, communities and volunteering. You are also such a person who can translate visions and strategies into real actions that make a real difference – all while you have a strong focus on a good working environment and a collaborative climate.

Our finest task is to help citizens succeed. At the same time we must have a close and trusting collaboration with the many actors and cultural institutions that are part of the backdrop around a cultural house - not least the other actors in Kulturgården, where House No7 is based. In reality one could probably call House No7 a cultural service company: we are that greenhouse where ideas and possibilities grow.

Our starting point is solid: Herning Council in early summer adopted a completely new set of ambitions that almost feels tailor-made for House No7: In the Municipality of Herning we want to strengthen decisiveness, be world champions of everyday life and develop the countrys most attractive educational institution.

Based on the ambitions, the houses existing strategy, which has a strong focus on creating good framework for young peoples cultural life, and the business foundation for Town, Business and Culture, the new leader will create an even more relevant offer to the citizens of the municipality. It is the citizens we are here for, and the goal is to reach even more, even better.

You will work closely with the houses deputy head, and together you have responsibility for the house's strategic direction and daily development.

Organizationally, House No7 has about 30 employees, a large part of whom are employed on special terms. The house's deputy head has personnel responsibility for the staff in the café (about 21 employees). The café is much more than potato sandwiches and loaded fries - it is the gathering point in the house. Your personnel responsibility will be for what one might call the “cultural octopuses” in the office and in the technical department (about 11 people). So – in short, our new leader

• Good at building relationships quickly and naturally with a deep understanding that our finest task is to service citizens, associations and users of the house
• You are a world champion at collaborating with others – both internal and external
• You see the value in a workplace with a lovely flock of employees with different needs and competencies, and you lead with presence, trust, clarity and empathy and create room for both independence and a shared direction
• You thrive among engaged people and strong communities, and you are able to translate 100 flighty ideas into concrete change and progress
• You are a visible leader and are ready to roll up your sleeves, and lead from the front, so we unleash even more of the great potential that lies in House No7

As the leader of House No7 you report to the Culture and Leisure Chief and participate in the management collaboration in the administration Town, Business and Culture, where you will have colleagues who are sharp in chlorine water, cobra art, literature, education and local plans.
