Supervisor / Director in Växjö

Supervisor sought for the most meaningful assignment of the summer – Växjö

Accommodation is offered for applicants not residing in Växjö.

Apply for the most rewarding job of the summer, "Ready Set Act" is a holiday project where young adults (15–19 years old) get to try working as actors during the summer break. We are now looking for dedicated supervisors for this year's edition in Växjö municipality.

As a supervisor, you will lead a group of about 10 holiday trainees in the work of rehearsing, marketing, and performing a children's show – outdoors – for preschools and families. Your task is to create a safe, fun, and meaningful workplace where the young people can grow, dare, and participate.

This is not a typical theater job.

Many participants have never been on stage – some have not even been on time for a job before. Your role is to create structure, safety, and a productive atmosphere in a group with mixed engagement, diverse backgrounds, and sometimes challenging conditions.

The focus is not on the result – but on the participants showing up, daring to try, and growing as individuals.

This requires leadership, patience, and an ability to remain calm even when things get stormy.

The project is run by Teater Carpa, which has been conducting cultural projects across Sweden since 2012. We use theater as a tool for personal development, community, and social engagement.

We are looking for you who:

• Are confident in leading a group with mixed engagement for theater
• Have a warm, clear, and attentive leadership style
• Understand that what matters is not how it turns out, but how we do it together
• Want to create a functioning workplace for young people at the start of their working lives
• Are flexible, self-sufficient, and see each individual

All activities take place outdoors, so you need to enjoy working in summer weather – whether it's sun or rain.

Requirements:

• Experience in theater activities in some form

Meritous experiences:

• Work at SIS homes
• Knowledge of/experience with NPF
• SFI or language teaching
• Leisure activities
• Leisure leader, tour leader, or similar
• Experience in service or retail
• Work with children's, youth, or adult groups

About the position:

Period: Week 25–27

Location: Växjö municipality

Scope: Part-time, daytime

The work is done in collaboration with the municipality and is led by you with support from Teater Carpa.
