Substitute Preschool Teacher at Klara Preschools

Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. 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.

The Northern Inner City district includes the central parts of Stockholm, Norrmalm, and Östermalm. Here, we work to provide our 155,000 residents with the best services in areas such as preschool, social services, elderly care, and urban development. We welcome you who want to make a difference for the residents of Northern Inner City.

Welcome to Us

Klara Preschools is located in central Stockholm in Norrmalm, and we currently have five preschools: Klara, Sture, Tule, Svea, and Vega.

In our unit, we work based on an exploratory approach inspired by the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy. The Reggio Emilia philosophy represents an educational approach that is based on a strong belief in human potential, a deep respect for the child, and a conviction that all children have a strong inherent drive to explore the world. Right now, we have play as a focus area in our preschools, where we work with the significance of play in education. We are looking for you as a co-educator.

Together with other colleagues at the preschool, you contribute to creating a positive, meaningful, and developmental environment for each child and for the entire group of children. You are active in your relationships with the children and in their play. In meetings with guardians, you have good communication and act professionally and service-oriented. As a preschool assistant with us, you act in accordance with the curriculum, set goals, policies, and guidelines.

We place great importance on personal qualities.

We will begin the selection process immediately, and if you are later called for an interview, we will conduct a group interview on Thursday, January 31, 2025. The City of Stockholm works with competence-based recruitment aimed at recognizing each person's competence and thus counteracting discrimination.
