Substitute Teacher at Fredriksberg Preschool

In Ludvika, children and youth are important! We demonstrate this by making children and youth the center of the municipal organization. Most resources directed towards children and youth have been gathered under one committee. This includes preschool, primary school, adapted primary school, and social services. A common thread for all activities is a conscious quality effort to constantly develop and improve the work with children and youth.

The Workplace

Fredriksberg Preschool is located about six miles from Ludvika town and has two departments for children aged 1-5 years. Nature and environmental thinking run like a red thread through the operations. We sort waste, compost, and grow in the preschool's greenhouse. Here you will have the chance to work in a dynamic environment where competence and responsibility are highly valued, and where each day offers new, meaningful challenges. The preschool is beautifully situated with nature right at the doorstep. The forest is a natural part of the teaching. We are a small preschool that has the opportunity to create a calm and safe environment that children need in today's society. Working here gives you good opportunities to build close relationships with all the children at the preschool.

Job Responsibilities

Within the preschool, we work a lot together, and you are expected to contribute to a variety of activities together with your team. A particularly important task is to create and develop a safe and secure environment for the children, where they are encouraged and challenged to engage in activities, learning, and responsibility. Together with your colleagues in the team, you will create an environment based on the children's needs and interests, where children feel influence and are involved in shaping the preschool's environment and activities. This requires you to take personal responsibility and collaborate both within the team and with parents and other staff.
