In Linköping Municipality, we are always looking for new preschool teachers who want to strengthen our operations. With us, you will promote children's development and learning in their journey as growing citizens. Welcome to us!

Your Responsibilities

The starting point for you as a preschool teacher is to have the overall pedagogical responsibility in the preschool. You are expected to lead and distribute the pedagogical work within the team while contributing to creating collegial learning. The team will work together to plan, teach, document, and evaluate the content of the operations based on the preschool's curriculum and other governing documents.

As a preschool teacher, you promote each child's development and learning based on their interests, experiences, and needs. You create curiosity and a desire to learn, both during planned activities and spontaneous moments.

In your role, there will be close collaboration with colleagues and guardians, as well as potential contacts with other actors concerning the child.

Your Workplace

As a preschool teacher in Linköping Municipality, you are shaping the future for our children. In preschool, we provide children with security, teach them to discover the world, and help them grow. In our mission, we utilize children's ideas, thoughts, and interests to engage them in the teaching. We have a shared approach to documentation throughout the municipality, enabling us to follow each child while keeping administrative burdens low.

The preschools in Linköping Municipality have a joint school development effort where all our preschools contribute to the development of teaching. We work, among other things, to develop environments in preschool that stimulate children's imagination and learning. Children's language development is a prioritized goal within preschool, where various joint initiatives are made. The preschools work, among other things, with language development efforts and language-rich learning environments. This is a long-term investment in Linköping Municipality, where employees are continuously offered further education in the field.

We are now looking for preschool teachers for the areas of Sturefors, Ljungsbro 1 and 2, Skäggetorp 1 and 2, Valkebo 1 and 2, and Berga/Ekkällan.

You Who Are Applying

We are looking for someone who has a preschool teacher's license, has a degree from a preschool teacher education program, or is in the final stages of their preschool teacher education.

For some of our operations, public transport is limited, and it is required that you have a driver's license and access to a car. However, several of the operations have good public transport options, so you are welcome to apply even if you do not have one.

You have good communication skills in spoken and written Swedish. This is to ensure that you, according to the curriculum (Lpfö18), can organize and implement the work so that the child receives support in their language and communication development. You are responsible for ensuring that each child can use the Swedish language in a rich and nuanced way.

In your role as a preschool teacher, you create good relationships and collaborate well with children, colleagues, guardians, and other contacts in the community that occur in your professional role. You have a good understanding of people's differences and relate to them in a responsive way in teaching and the everyday life of the preschool. You lead the work with both children and colleagues through motivation, engagement, and participation.
