Commencement on March 1, 2026, or by further agreement.

The Department of Education, Culture, Sports, and Church is looking for a new colleague for the finance department – a new colleague who can ensure good and structured processing of course funds for the business sector, while also further developing and continuously strengthening budget and financial management across the entire education, culture, sports, and church sector.

The development of the education sector is a high priority to create the best educational opportunities for everyone and ensure a qualified workforce for the business community. Funding for culture is considered essential to ensure the ongoing development of society's assets.

Additionally, the church is an integral part of the structure of society.
