This position is for a temporary, full-time parish priest (sognepræst) role in Frederikssund Pastorat within Helsingør Diocese, covering a maternity leave period from March 2, 2026, to August 2, 2026, with potential for extension. The role requires ordination or equivalent theological education, with candidates encouraged to submit relevant diplomas and certificates from the Pastoralseminariet if not yet ordained. The position involves providing pastoral care, conducting religious services, and supporting the spiritual life of the parish community in accordance with the Church of Denmark's practices and guidelines. Candidates must be able to work under the terms of the state academic collective agreement, including adherence to salary and benefits structures. The role demands strong interpersonal and communication skills to engage effectively with parishioners and church councils. A valid child protection certificate (børneattest) is required prior to appointment, ensuring compliance with safeguarding standards. Both male and female applicants are encouraged to apply, and first-time applicants are advised to arrange an interview with the bishop. The job requires familiarity with the Danish ecclesiastical system, pastoral responsibilities, and the ability to manage parish activities during the temporary assignment. No residential accommodation is provided, and the candidate must be prepared to work full-time within the parish setting. This mid-level role suits candidates with some prior pastoral experience and theological education, capable of maintaining continuity in church life during the incumbent's absence.
