Jobbannons

Agile Gothenburg is looking for local policy advocates in a number of municipalities in Sweden to assist in a project that is dedicated to safeguarding and advancing the rights of immigrants across Sweden and the EU.

You will be the on-the-ground representative, responsible for directly shaping decisions within the municipal political structure, ensuring the voices of immigrant residents are addressed, regardless of their cultural or religious backgrounds.

✅ What You’ll Do

• Connect with local immigrant residents, gathering direct input on municipal issues (housing, education, employment) to ensure that our policy proposals are based on local realities.
• Work closely with our central legal team to develop a policy platform rooted in rights advocacy, ensuring all proposed local policies are aligned with Swedish and EU anti-discrimination law.
• Act as the strategic voice for the project, presenting our mission and policy goals in all local political forums.

🎯 What You Bring

• You ideally, but not necessarily, reside in any of the following municipalities: Hylte, Gnosjö, Emmaboda, Högsby, Hultsfred, Markaryd, Älmhult, Uppvidinge, Alvesta, Övertorneå, Haparanda, Bjuv, Åstorp, Perstorp, Burlöv, Flen, Oxelösund, Salem, Eda, Årjäng, Fagersta, and Strömstad.
• Commitment to human rights, immigrant rights, and social justice.
• Ready to be the loudest voice in the room to confidently defend our mission in all local political forums.
• A background in politics, law, social work, public administration, policy, or local advocacy is a strong advantage.
• Strong understanding of the challenges by immigrant communities in Sweden.
• Good Swedish and English skills. Proficiency in languages common among immigrant communities in Sweden (e.g., Arabic, Bosnian, Persian, Somali) is a significant merit.

✨ Why Volunteer with Us?

This is a unique opportunity to stop merely reacting to policy and start shaping it directly at the local level. Your work will have a measurable impact on the lives of your immigrant neighbors. You will receive full strategic support, training, resources, and legal backing from Agile Gothenburg. Apply now to become a key voice and a local leader.
