Cultural mediator at Faxe Libraries

Cultural mediator with an eye for visibility for Faxe Libraries

Do you want to help make the library even more visible and relevant to citizens in Faxe Municipality?

As part of our work with a new vision for Faxe Libraries, we are looking for an engaged cultural mediator who can develop and implement projects that create value for citizens and strengthen the library's visibility in the municipality and the region.

Together with the Planning and Culture Committee and the center management, we are working purposefully to be a living meeting place, a strong cultural actor and an active partner in the local community. Therefore we are looking for a colleague who is motivated by turning ideas into concrete activities and creating strong relations both internally and externally.

About the position

As a cultural mediator you will be a driving force in the development of the library's offering and visibility. You will be responsible for developing, coordinating and implementing projects that support the library's, Center for Culture, Volunteerism and Citizen Services, and the municipality's strategy and direction and thereby create new encounters between the library and the citizens.

Your tasks will include

• Developing and leading projects from idea to evaluation, including being part of the project management of Faxe Municipality's children/young people's festival Faxerier
• Creating new collaborations and activities with associations, cultural institutions, educational institutions, businesses and other actors.
• Applying for grants in collaboration with colleagues.
• Working data-based with evaluation and documentation of the projects' effects.
• Contributing to the library's development through innovative thinking and innovation.

Who are you?

We are not looking for a specific education – we are looking for the right profile.

You have an education relevant to the culture, library, project or experience field, or that you, after completing your education, have obtained equivalent competencies through experience.

The most important is that you

• Have experience in developing and implementing projects.
• Are good at building relationships and collaborating across borders.
• Thrive working independently and taking responsibility.
• Can create structure and maintain an overview of several projects simultaneously.
• Communicate clearly – both orally and in writing.
• Are curious, proactive and see opportunities rather than limitations.
• Have an eye for how the library can be visible and relevant in citizens' everyday lives.

It is an advantage if you have experience with collaboration on grant applications, project management or cultural development, but it is not a requirement.

We offer

At Faxe Libraries you will become part of an organization in development.

We offer

• Opportunity to leave a clear imprint on the library's future development.
• A workplace focused on development, learning and innovation.
• A varied daily life with both planning, execution and practice.

In addition to your work with projects you will also participate in the library's meeting with citizens and thus have lending desk shifts 2-3 times a week. The shifts are distributed between our libraries in Haslev and Faxe. You can expect evening events and a Saturday shift 1-2 times a year. In addition, we are a municipality with distances, so a driving licence is an advantage.

About Faxe Libraries

We believe the library creates the greatest value when we are visible where citizens are, when we develop solutions together with others, and when we dare to try new ideas. Therefore we actively work with co-creation, partnerships and projects that bring the library closer to the municipality's citizens. We are a library in development and with a new leader we are in the process of finding new workflows and new habits. We therefore have a strong focus on the working environment and well-being.
