Unit for Multilingualism

The Unit for Multilingualism consists of a large team of about 50 teachers who provide study guidance/instruction to approximately 800 multilingual children and students spread across most preschools/schools in Varberg Municipality (currently offering about 30 languages).

Collegial exchange, openness, respect, and responsibility are the unit's shared values. The Unit for Multilingualism offers you a work environment with stimulating tasks, professional development, and compensation for wellness activities.

JOB DESCRIPTION

As a mother tongue teacher, you will be responsible, together with relevant colleagues, for the students' continued language development and goal fulfillment, where a solution-focused and independent working method within the team is a prerequisite for a successful learning environment. You will primarily work with study guidance in primary school and language support in preschool, but mother tongue instruction in primary school/high school may also be relevant. Individual interpreting assignments in the Unit for Multilingualism regarding the assessment of newly arrived students may also be applicable.

Your work is very independent, but you will also be part of a team and various development groups, and therefore good collaboration skills and proficiency in Swedish (Swedish 3 or equivalent) are required.

You will work at several different workplaces, so a driver's license and access to your own car are required.

Motivating and inspiring students is your greatest drive. Together with your colleagues, you shape a relational leadership where the quality of instruction is the focus. We create the best possible meeting for learning.

As a teacher with us at Varberg Municipality, you play a central role in creating a safe, developing, and motivating environment for the students. By planning, implementing, and following up your varied instruction, you give students the opportunity to develop both academically and socially.

Together with your colleagues, you plan and follow up on instruction based on your choices of pedagogical and didactic strategies and methods, adapted to the students' needs and conditions, and grounded in science and proven experience. You meet each student in their knowledge progression and contribute to developing learning environments that encourage students' learning, participation, and influence.

Professional development based on the school's needs is a given for us, as is an organization for planning and evaluating instruction. We expect you to see your assignment as an opportunity for personal and professional development—a significant and challenging role where you take responsibility for being a good role model and feel real pride in your work.

As an employee of Varberg Municipality, you also have access to benefits such as discounted commuter tickets, wellness grants, an employee association, and the opportunity for a benefit bicycle.
