RESPONSIBILITIES

We are looking for a qualified preschool teacher with a license and documented skills and the ability to lead others to our Preschool Unit in eastern Bergsjön. We are two principals who are jointly advertising to find you who can complement our units to become their best. The units consist of two preschools located on Aniaragatan/Saturnusgatan and Kosmosgatan/Universumsgatan. Here, there are good communication opportunities and proximity to large green areas. This gives us the opportunity to utilize nature in our daily work at the preschools. At our preschools, we also work for a creative environment where own initiatives, creativity, and new ideas about working methods and methods are welcomed.

We have created a new schedule structure where you, as a preschool teacher, generally work in the middle shift. In our area, you will have a manager who prioritizes a sustainable work environment and where all employees are important.

For us, it is important to have a workplace where both children, educators, and parents feel a strong sense of participation. The preschools in the unit work in different ways, where one preschool works based on large work teams while the other preschool works in a more traditional manner. As a preschool teacher, you actively work to create a safe and learning environment. You are responsible for ensuring that the educational activities are conducted according to the revised curriculum, where teaching is an important part. Together with other staff, you contribute to the development of the activities by being proactive in pedagogical ideas, documenting children's learning processes, and evaluating them.

In your role, you create good relationships with guardians, children, and colleagues. Together, we work to support and encourage their participation and involvement. As a preschool teacher with us, an important part of your role is to work with methods to promote children's language development. Your work also includes continuously planning and evaluating the goals of the activities and keeping yourself updated on new research in the field.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who are a qualified preschool teacher with a license and a strong sense for the education of young children. We would like you to have a strong interest in driving systematic quality work within the team as well as at the unit level. If you are a newly graduated preschool teacher, you will receive a mentor upon your employment. The mentor is part of a central group and is tasked with helping you get a good start in your professional life with us.

If you have experience and find it fun and interesting to work methodically with children's language development in a multicultural area, and if you have worked on developing accessible learning environments, we see this as an advantage.

At all our preschools, you will have the opportunity to work in a stimulating workplace with high expectations for collaboration and a strong focus on maintaining good quality in the work with both children and guardians.

You have the ability to work together with others to perform tasks and achieve goals. You listen to others in order to understand their needs. You actively seek others' opinions and perspectives and are receptive to them by showing respect, consideration, and care. To thrive in the role, it is important that you gain energy from contributing to others' learning and that you create conditions for learning to take place. You take responsibility for your own and the shared tasks with the children's best interests in focus.
