Vocational Teacher in Painting at Dackeskolan

We are Mjölby Municipality. Together we provide services and support, build communities, and exercise authority. Our work benefits society with a focus on the best interests of the citizen – throughout their lives.

Dackeskolan, with approximately 280 students, is centrally located in Mjölby. We offer vocational programs that enable our students to start working immediately after graduation while also obtaining eligibility for higher education. Our programs include construction and civil engineering, electrical and energy, automotive and transport, industrial technology, goldsmithing, as well as restaurant and food. We also have an adapted upper secondary school offering two national programs and an individual program.

At Dackeskolan, we focus on providing our students with a high-quality education where their learning and development are at the center. For the upcoming school year, we are expanding our construction and civil engineering program with a specialization in painting and are therefore looking for a vocational teacher for this specialization.
