Vacant job

Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone living here today and in the future. Now we are looking for you who want to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

The Skarpnäck district administration offers you a workplace where active employee participation and clear leadership are the foundation for providing the best services to the people of Stockholm. Since we collectively create our work environment, openness, respect, and responsiveness are essential.

Welcome to us

The unit consists of thirteen preschools located in Hammarbyhöjden, Björkhagen, and Kärrtorp.

The preschools have beautiful indoor environments, and we have fantastic nature around our preschools that provide endless opportunities for children to engage with nature, movement, and play. Our preschool environments should attract, inspire, and challenge children in play towards learning and exploration together with other children and staff.

We offer

We offer you a wellness allowance if you become a monthly employee and the opportunity to purchase training cards to Stockholm's city swimming pools with gyms and group training at a very favorable price. Additionally, as an employee of the City of Stockholm, you currently receive discounts at several other gyms and training facilities. We provide work clothes and free educational meals.

Your role

We are looking for you who want to be a substitute at one or more of the unit's preschools. The assignment involves covering where there is a need for the day, and you may be contacted the same day the job is available.

As a substitute, you have excellent opportunities to try out different departments and groups of children and gain a lot of varied experience!

It is important that you understand your role as a substitute and that for you as a substitute, one day is not like the other, and you may be at several different preschools in a week.

It is essential that you, as a substitute, are present and active with the children. You show joy, curiosity, and engagement in the children's exploration and ask the staff what you should do or what they expect from you. At our preschools, we work to ensure that children succeed and feel good throughout the day. The prerequisite for this is that we, as adults, always take responsibility for situations that arise. We respond, meet, and confirm the children, showing them that they are important and that their words and actions are taken seriously.

Our families are used to a well-functioning operation, and there is great trust in our preschools, which means that even you as a substitute are expected to greet everyone kindly and politely, for example, by introducing yourself and greeting all children and families when you are together outside in the yard.

Your skills and experience

• You can work both independently and collaborate in a group.
• You have no problem communicating in Swedish, both spoken and written.
• You need to be flexible, willing to ask questions, and be active with the children.
• Childcare training or experience working as a childcare worker is an advantage.

We will take great consideration of your personal suitability.
