We work for everyone living here today and in the future. We are now looking for you who want to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Workplace Description

Sjöängsskolan is beautifully located by Örby Castle in Älvsjö.

We are a municipal F-9 school with students from our local area with residential buildings as well as students from further away. Our school is a meeting place for students with different backgrounds, something we value and are proud of.

A hallmark of Sjöängsskolan is our competent staff group. We have a stable, committed, and collaborative faculty. With us, the student's development and learning are at the center, and we work on continuous development so that every student here can develop optimally. We believe in a long-term and systematic quality work with teaching in focus, and we work proactively and preventively in our student health work.

The students' results and development are always in focus in our work. What is central for us at Sjöängsskolan is that all students should succeed, and that our job is to help them do so.

Job Responsibilities

We are looking for two substitute teachers in Swedish and social studies for our upper secondary school. You will have subject colleagues for close collaboration as well as a mentor colleague in the work team. You are responsible for professionally planning, implementing, and evaluating teaching in grades 7-9 based on current governing documents, both individually and in collaboration with other colleagues and work teams.

Through your solid subject knowledge, you create creative lessons with a differentiated and dynamic lesson design that engages students' interest.

Qualifications

We are primarily looking for certified teachers with the qualifications to teach Swedish, social studies, and Swedish as a second language in grades 7-9. You are a good leader in the classroom and create a safe learning environment for all students. You have a good understanding of people's different conditions for absorbing knowledge and adjust your teaching and communication accordingly, to both guide and challenge. You are accustomed to using digital teaching aids in your teaching and are proficient in the Office suite.

We are looking for someone who enjoys the mentoring role and invests time and effort in building good relationships with your students and maintaining good communication with guardians. You work independently but value collaboration with colleagues, thereby building your own and your collective competence and development. You are happy to share your knowledge and are also open to others' thoughts and ideas. You reflect on the practical work both by analyzing in the moment and making didactic decisions accordingly and systematically throughout the school year.

You have a good command of the Swedish language in both speech and writing. We place great emphasis on personal suitability and good references. Interviews will begin during the recruitment period. The City of Stockholm works with competency-based recruitment aimed at recognizing each person's competence and thus counteracting discrimination.
