Maternity leave vacancy: Finance and Administration Manager for Vestjylland's Folk High School

Maternity leave cover: Finance and Administrative Manager at Vestjyllands Højskole

Do you want to help make everyday life work at Vestjyllands Højskole? We are looking for a finance and administration manager/chief administrator for a maternity leave cover of 30 hours per week. The position starts from December 1, 2026 or January 1, 2027 and runs until September 30, 2027. Send your application as soon as possible, as we are conducting interviews on a rolling basis until we have found the right candidate.

At a folk high school there are many things going on at once, and we are therefore looking for someone who has a good grip on finance and administration – and who thrives in a daily life with many people and various tasks.

You preferably have an economic or administrative background and experience with accounting, payroll and staff. You can work independently, create structure and keep an overview – even when the folk high school day is bustling around you.

You will work closely with the principal, the administration and the school's other staff, and report to the school's board of directors.

Your primary areas of work will be

• Overall financial management
• Budget monitoring and financial sparring with management and the school's board
• Payroll and personnel administration
• Leave, sickness, maternity/paternity leave and reimbursements
• Employment contracts and other personnel tasks
• Grants, reporting and other authorities tasks
• Administration related to the school's students and courses
• Contact with bank, auditor, insurance, suppliers and other partners
• Administrative tasks that keep the school's daily operations running smoothly

With us you will not just be part of an administration, but part of a folk high school. A workplace with students, community, morning gatherings, workshops, gardens, communal meals and plenty of life – and with colleagues who together make daily life at Vestjyllands Højskole function.
