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 become an important part of our selection work.

The city of Västerås aims to become a leading school city. To succeed in this, we need the best teachers!

Your tasks

Your main task will be to work with planning, teaching, guidance, and value-based work based on the curriculum (LGR22). But being a teacher today is about so much more. Working as a teacher is about constantly developing new working methods based on the students you meet. Capturing students' interests and creating fun and challenging teaching from that. It is also about documenting students' learning to enable their chances of reaching their goals. In addition to pedagogy, you will also work with student health to ensure that students feel good and are safe in school.

Your qualifications

You are a certified teacher within primary school for grades F-6, or you are a certified preschool teacher with the authority to teach in preschool class. You are confident in your pedagogical leadership and actively use digital tools in the classroom. As a person, you create trust, are a role model, and build relationships with students and their guardians. For you, collaboration is a given both in planning and in sharing knowledge and experiences.

We offer

Among our employees, there is a diversity of knowledge, and we actively work to develop forms for collegial learning. Here you will be part of a large school organization with opportunities for new challenges without having to change employers. We offer various forms of professional development such as training, networks, mentorship, and career paths as a lead teacher or lecturer. We also have a trainee program for future school leaders.

Here you will be part of something bigger! With warmth and respect, we show initiative in both the big and small. 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 throughout the city, you will have Sweden's most important job.

We continuously update the advertisement with available positions. You will of course have the opportunity to express your school preferences when you submit your application. If you proceed after any interview, you will have the opportunity to visit selected schools based on current needs.

If you are not a trained teacher, your application can be forwarded to principals who have temporary vacancies.

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.

When you make your application, you fill out a survey, where you have the opportunity to indicate which school or schools you are interested in. In your application, we want you to attach:

• Your CV
• Your teaching certification including authorization list.

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