Project Manager for Children's Culture at Stevns Libraries

Will you help strengthen children's enthusiasm for reading, create strong cultural communities and experiences, and strengthen collaborations that make a difference for children and families on Stevns?

Children's reading is under pressure. At the same time, we know that good cultural experiences, communities and early preventive efforts can make a crucial difference in children's lives. Here, the Libraries play an important role.

Since Hårlev Library reopened as a children's culture house in 2024, the development has progressed rapidly. New collaborations have emerged, activities have increased, and ambitions have grown. Not least of all, we are therefore looking for an engaged project manager who can help drive and further develop our work with children's culture.

Are you passionate about children's culture? Can you build relationships, bring people together around common goals and carry projects safely from idea to reality? Do you thrive working independently and taking responsibility? Then you might be the person we are looking for.

The library is in transformation

The library's role is continually evolving, and our work with the Cultural Backpack, cultural mediation and cross-cutting collaborations is in constant motion.

We are currently in a phase where existing collaborations need to be strengthened and strong partnerships anchored. At the same time, the library director needs relief for organizational tasks and work with grant applications.

Your working time will be split between working with the Cultural Backpack and library tasks.

We imagine that you

• Communicate naturally with children, youth, parents, partners and colleagues
• Thrive with both strategic and practical tasks
• Are good at building relationships and establishing strong networks
• Work independently and take responsibility to see tasks through
• Have an eye for connections and holism
• Are concerned with the public library's significance and role in society

With us you will get

• A meaningful job where you help make a difference for children and families
• Good opportunities for both professional and personal development
• An exciting everyday life with a great variation in tasks
• A flexible and inclusive workplace with room for ideas – sometimes we are a busy beehive
• Engaged colleagues and leaders who work purposefully for the libraries' relevance and development

We believe that diverse experiences and professional backgrounds can contribute to our development. Therefore, whether you come from the library world or another field, we will adapt the tasks as best as possible to your competences. Of course, we will also provide a thorough introduction to the libraries' operations and daily life.
