About this role
A Lifestyle – Not Just a Job
Rättvik, located by Lake Siljan in the heart of Dalarna, forms a central part of the municipality's identity with its scenic surroundings and rich cultural heritage. Here, history, culture, and nature converge: church boats, folk music traditions, concerts at Dalhalla, proximity to the Berget Foundation's retreat activities, and the beautiful Stiftsgård.
The community boasts a vibrant associational life with strong sports traditions, from bandy to horseback riding, while offering serene natural experiences by Lake Siljan and in the surrounding forests.
During summer, Rättvik fills with weddings and tourists, while the rest of the year is characterized by a living community with concerts, sports, community engagement, and warm fellowship. Here, you'll find good schools, proximity to job opportunities, and a lifestyle that provides balance between work and leisure, with good connections to larger towns like Mora, Falun, and Borlänge.
To be a Rector in Rättvik means becoming part of all this – in everyday life, in culture, and in people's lives.
The Assignment
As Rector, you will lead the parish's work spiritually, organizationally, and strategically. You will become an important voice in the local community and have the opportunity to set the direction forward.

• Lead and develop priests, employees, and managers in the parish
• Recruit and shape the team with new priests, deacons, and key roles
• Develop diaconal work and children's and youth activities
• Be part of the culture – in music, in associations, in meeting people
• Represent the parish in the board work of two companies for preschool and funeral services
You will have HR, finance, and property support, which gives you the freedom to focus on leadership, vision, and parish development.
We Are Seeking You
You are ordained in the Church of Sweden and have experience leading and inspiring. You are secure in your faith, attentive in your leadership, and want to be part of the community, both in the office and in culture, associations, and people's everyday lives.
Furthermore, we believe you are:
