Vacant job

The city of Västerås has removed the personal letter from the application process. We do this to achieve a better and fairer recruitment process. When you submit your application, you will be asked to answer a number of questions that will be an important part of our selection work.

The city of Västerås aims to become a leading school city, and the after-school programs with their educators play an incredibly important role in that vision.

Your Responsibilities

As a teacher in after-school programs, you make a significant difference for the students. You are present throughout the day and gain a comprehensive understanding of how the student and the group function in the classroom and in after-school activities. This provides fantastic opportunities to analyze the student's needs, and for you as an educator, the chance to work with activities that strengthen the student and the group in their schooling. The students are the focus, but your mission also involves collaborating with other educators and the student health team at the school. You also maintain close communication with parents and sometimes with authorities.

Your Competence

We are looking for you who are a licensed teacher with qualifications to work in after-school programs. You are a secure adult who is passionate about creating engagement among our students. It is an advantage if you have previously worked in after-school programs, school activities, or with children and youth. To develop learning in the after-school program, you need to feel comfortable using digital tools and equipment such as tablets, interactive programs, and apps. Your good planning skills and solution-focused approach are important for you to actively connect the after-school activities to LGR22 and classroom teaching. We are constantly working to develop our after-school program and want you to have the drive and commitment to be a part of this.

We Offer

We are proud to offer you as an employee professional development in the form of after-school program enhancement and networks where you can exchange experiences with colleagues within the city. For those who want to develop in their role, there are many opportunities; team leader, digital educator, and trainee programs for future school leaders.

Here you will be part of something bigger! With warmth and respect, we show initiative in both big and small matters. We live our values in our interactions with each other and those we serve. Every day, all year round, we ensure that Västerås functions. Together with your approximately 11,500 colleagues around the city, you will have Sweden's most important job.

Recruitment Process

We have a central and common recruitment process for teachers in primary schools. This means that we interview and fill our positions continuously based on the needs of the schools. We update the advertisement continuously with available positions. You will, of course, have the opportunity to express your school preferences when you submit your application. If you proceed after a possible interview, you will have the opportunity to visit selected schools based on current needs.

If you are not a qualified teacher, your application can be forwarded to principals who have available temporary positions.

If you currently work as a teacher in our schools but are interested in changing units, you need to apply here. However, you will not need to go through all the steps in the recruitment process.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.
