Your Responsibilities

The starting point for you as a preschool teacher is to have the overall pedagogical responsibility in the preschool. You are expected to lead and distribute the pedagogical work within the team while contributing to creating collegial learning. The team will work together to plan, teach, document, and evaluate the content of the activities based on the preschool curriculum and other governing documents.

As a preschool teacher, you promote each child's development and learning based on their interests, experiences, and needs. You create curiosity and a desire to learn, both during planned activities and spontaneous moments.

In your role, you will collaborate closely with colleagues and guardians, as well as potential contacts with other actors concerning the child.

Your Workplace

The Tallboda/Ekängen area consists of seven preschools: Gränsliden 8, Tomatvägen 14, Passadvindsvägen 2, Grönhögsvägen 58-60, Fönvindsvägen 12, Hästhagsvägen 8, and Linsvägen 5.

At all our preschools, we work based on a project-oriented approach where projects are driven based on the children's interests and the preschool's governing documents. With us, the educators are present, and we explore and learn together with the children. The focus is on the learning process and joyful learning, not just on the results. In everyday life, we place great emphasis on language and mathematics development. Furthermore, we systematically work with reception, communication, and feedback to promote a good working environment for both children and staff.

As an employee with us, you become part of a larger context. We have joint staff meetings where you have the opportunity to meet colleagues from other preschools for collaboration and exchange of experiences. The area's assistant principals are also present in the operations once a week to provide support where needed.

To ensure that all children can become their best selves, we work in smaller groups. The goal is for all children in our preschools to experience an environment that is fun, safe, and educational. We have large playgrounds that encourage both play and learning. Additionally, the area is geographically located near forests and water, providing rich opportunities for nature experiences and exploration.

We are now looking for a preschool teacher who wants to be part of our team and work to drive development forward in our preschools!

You Who Are Applying

Primarily, we are looking for someone with a preschool teacher license. Secondly, we are looking for someone with a diploma from a preschool teacher education program. Alternatively, you may be at the end of your education to become a preschool teacher.

It is a requirement that you have experience working with children in a curriculum-based preschool through practice, as an employee, or voluntarily. It is an advantage if you have worked for at least one year in a curriculum-based preschool where you have been involved in planning and teaching based on the curriculum.

You have good communication skills in both spoken and written Swedish. This is necessary so that you can organize and carry out the work in accordance with the curriculum (Lpfö18) to support the child's language and communication development. You are responsible for ensuring that each child can use the Swedish language in a rich and nuanced way.

In your role as a preschool teacher, you create good relationships and collaborate well with children, colleagues, guardians, and other contacts in the community that are part of your professional role. You have a good understanding of people's differences and respond to them in a sensitive manner in teaching and the everyday life of the preschool. You lead the work with both children and colleagues through motivation, engagement, and participation. The role also involves working with applicable goals and quality standards for the preschool together with your colleagues.
