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 required 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, and the after-school programs with their educators play an incredibly important role in that vision.

Your responsibilities

As a teacher in after-school care, you make a significant difference for the student. You are present throughout the day and gain a comprehensive understanding of how the student and the group function in the classroom and in after-school activities. This provides fantastic opportunities to analyze the student’s needs, and for you as an educator, the chance to work with activities that strengthen the student and the group in their schooling. The students are the focus, but your mission also involves collaborating with other educators and the student health team at the school. You also maintain close dialogue with parents and sometimes with authorities.

Your qualifications

We are looking for you who are a certified teacher with qualifications for work in after-school care. You are a secure adult who is passionate about creating engagement among our students. It is an advantage if you have previously worked in after-school care, school activities, or with children and youth. To develop learning in after-school care, you need to feel comfortable using digital tools and equipment such as tablets, interactive programs, and apps. Your good planning skills and solution-focused attitude are important for you to actively connect after-school activities to LGR22 and classroom teaching. We are constantly working to develop our after-school activities and want you to have the drive and commitment to be a part of this.

We offer

We are proud to offer you as an employee professional development in the form of after-school care enhancement and networks where you can exchange experiences with colleagues within the city. For those who want to develop in their role, there are many opportunities; team leader, digital educator, and trainee programs for future school leaders.

Here, you become part of something bigger! With warmth and respect, we show initiative in both large and small matters. 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 have a central and common recruitment process for teachers in primary school. This means that we interview and fill our positions continuously based on the schools' needs. 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 qualified teacher, your application can be forwarded to principals who have available temporary positions.

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 submit your application, you fill out a questionnaire, where you have the opportunity to indicate which school or schools you are interested in. In your application, we would like you to attach:

• Your CV
• Your teaching certification including qualification list.

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