Vacant job

The job involves exciting and varied tasks where you teach both theoretically and practically, focusing on animals and youth. You are an important part of the school's pedagogical team and contribute to students developing both professional skills and an ethical approach to animals. Together with colleagues, you plan and implement teaching for students in the fields of veterinary care and animal care. You collaborate with the school's animal caretakers, who are responsible for the daily care of our animals and guide students in practical work.

In the role of veterinarian, you are also responsible for parts of the animal health in the school's educational environments as well as for necessary contacts with authorities to ensure that our animal facility meets current requirements.

In addition to work within the school's operations, there is an opportunity to run your own small animal clinic in our premises if you wish – a unique opportunity for those who want to combine clinical work with teaching and guidance. The school's clinic consists of a larger examination room, waiting room, a room with five cages, and an adjacent room with a height-adjustable dog bath. The clinic is equipped with examination tables, examination lights, scales, incubators, welding equipment, and refrigerators.

Working hours are scheduled between 08:00 – 16:00 on weekdays. No on-call or weekend work is required. Our teachers have a holiday service with a collective agreement via Almega (Education) - Friskolor Sveriges lärare.

You are passionate about working with youth and want to contribute to shaping the future workforce in veterinary care. You are eager to share knowledge, promote good animal husbandry, and work for the well-being of animals. You want to be part of developing our veterinary education into one of the best in the country, together with your colleagues. Working in the school requires you to have pedagogical insight, good collaboration skills, to listen actively, and communicate in a clear and respectful manner. You provide students with a democratic and ethical approach and work in line with the school's values.

It is important that you can plan, organize, document, and prioritize work in an effective and structured way, and that you have the ability to set and adhere to deadlines. We offer the opportunity to gain qualifications as a vocational teacher during working hours, and we would like you to start this training within a couple of years from when you start with us.
