JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Östra Lugnets School is a K-6 school with over 400 students. The school is located in the northern part of Växjö and is close to Evedal with its associated natural area. We view systematic quality work and building a learning and sustainable organization as important factors to ensure good quality in operations and to create a safe and developing workplace for both students and staff. The school has clear goals, assignments, and structures aimed at promoting meaningfulness, comprehensibility, and manageability, and to provide increased quality and equity in the school.

We are now looking for a school librarian who feels engaged and inspired to continue developing the school in line with national and prioritized operational goals, with the child's best interests in focus. As a school librarian at Östra Lugnets School, you will be responsible for our school library, which is an integrated service to support students' learning. Our library is centrally located in the school and its primary task is to promote students' joy of reading, language skills, and digital competence through collaboration with teachers to increase goal fulfillment. You will work to promote reading both in collaboration with the school's teachers and independently. You will plan and conduct teaching and guide students both in the library and in the classroom.

The library's activities are governed by Växjö Municipality's Library Plan 2025-2029 and Östra Lugnets School's library plan. In this role, you will ensure that the library is an accessible, inviting, and inclusive learning environment both socially, pedagogically, and physically for our students. The librarian position is 75%, but to achieve a full-time position, there is an opportunity to supplement with other tasks within the school, depending on your skills and experiences.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with a degree in library and information science. As a person, you have a good ability to organize and create structure in the operations. Since the role involves many points of contact with both students and staff, communication and collaboration skills are of extra importance for the position.

We are looking for someone with a genuine interest in children's learning and who has the child's best interests in focus. You have a solution-focused approach and the ability to create good and trusting relationships. You work professionally and have good knowledge of meeting students' diverse needs. You have a good ability to work both independently and in close collaboration with others. You create good relationships with guardians to promote collaboration between school and home. We hope you become curious about the position and want to work at a school with engaged staff who take responsibility for their own and the students' learning and development.

Warm welcome with your application!
