Description of Operations

This position is part of the Support and Development Administration.

Gällivare Municipality has been awarded a state grant from the Norrbotten County Administrative Board for the project “Collaboration in Gällivare Against Human Trafficking, Prostitution, and Exploitation.” The project runs from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2028, and aims to strengthen the municipality’s local capacity to prevent, detect, and combat human trafficking, prostitution, and other forms of sexual exploitation through long-term and structured collaboration between the municipality, the business community, and civil society. The work is based on the “City by City” method, developed by The Salvation Army. We are now seeking a project associate for the project.

The work includes, among other things, building and supporting a local collaboration network against human trafficking, planning and carrying out awareness-raising initiatives such as seminars, workshops, and information campaigns, as well as participating in the development of a local collaboration plan with procedures and communication channels.

The role includes communication and outreach efforts, documentation and follow-up of the project’s activities, as well as ongoing contact with the project’s partners within the municipality, the business community, and civil society. You will also participate in knowledge transfer and the exchange of experiences with other municipalities in Norrbotten, as well as in the planning and implementation of a conference on the topics of human trafficking, prostitution, and exploitation. You may be required to present background materials to the steering committee, management teams, and collaboration groups.

We are looking for someone with a degree in social work. Experience with project work, collaboration, or working with social issues is a plus, as is knowledge of human trafficking, prostitution, and exploitation.
