Engaged and Driven Business Developer

Kraftens hus Sjuhärad is looking for a business developer.

Kraftens hus Sjuhärad is a meeting place for those affected by cancer – for people of all ages who have been impacted in various ways by a cancer diagnosis: as a patient, relative, family member, friend, or bereaved. The meeting place has been operating since 2018 and is located at Träffpunkt Simonsland. It offers an open meeting place, lectures, and various activities that provide support, fellowship, and knowledge in a safe environment where everyone is welcome. We collaborate with various civil society actors and complement healthcare services. Kraftens hus aims to increase society's knowledge of the needs of those affected by cancer and how these can be met by acting as a partner in various ways within civil society.

Kraftens hus Sjuhärad is run as a non-profit association. The association's work is based on respect for the equal value of all people and is religiously and politically independent. Kraftens hus exists in Gothenburg, Stockholm, Gotland, Jämtland/Härjedalen, Kraftens hus Digitalt, and Kraftens hus Skaraborg, a new association that will start its operations this autumn.

We offer a meaningful, varied, and interesting job with great opportunities to help develop the operations. You will participate in Kraftens hus's national network and collaborate with other Kraftens hus units primarily in Västra Götaland but also around Sweden.

The operations have their meeting place in Borås, but the assignment covers all of Sjuhärad. We work to ensure that support can be offered through external meeting places, pop-up operations, and activities in various municipalities, with the ambition of eventually establishing long-term meeting places in several locations in the region.
