Social Studies Teacher for Internationella Engelska Skolan Huddinge

Internationella Engelska Skolan in Huddinge opened in 2013 and has about 500 students in grades 6-9. The school is located between Visättra and Solgård in Huddinge municipality, which is an area undergoing a significant transformation into a dynamic work and residential area!

IES takes pride in its employees and has developed a method to create a calm and safe school environment. This allows our teachers to have more time to share their knowledge, both with students and colleagues. Your own teaching as a teacher from Sweden will be in Swedish, but colleagues communicate in English.

We are now looking for a licensed Social Studies teacher for grades 6-9 starting soon. The teaching of Social Studies is conducted in Swedish and follows the Swedish curriculum LGR22.

The job description includes, in addition to common teacher tasks such as planning, teaching, grading, and follow-up, also mentorship for students in one of the classes you teach. You need to be available for meetings with guardians, students, and colleagues, and actively work to uphold IES's values and vision. Our focus is on learning and a calm environment where the school's routines and rules are followed by both students and staff.

A pleasant atmosphere and a good collaborative climate are key words behind our success. This is also the foundation for creating a consistent thread that guides and supports our students throughout their schooling and helps them achieve their goals.

Who are you?

• As a person, you are flexible, a dedicated team player with a positive attitude towards your subject. You are creative and willing to go the extra mile for your students and colleagues.
• You possess the tools to create a good learning environment in the classroom where your clear leadership and teaching style are keys to your students' success.
• You can adapt your teaching to reach different students and can, in collaboration with our student health team and our special educators, work inclusively with students who have special needs. For us, ongoing, clear feedback to students and guardians is a must, and you see it as a natural part of your teaching. In this feedback, you provide information about both progress and areas for development and improvement.
• The working language among colleagues is both Swedish and English.
