Substitute Teachers Wanted for Lerum Municipality's Primary School and Leisure Activities

Lerum Municipality is known for its scenic locations with lakes and forests. The municipality has 3,200 employees and 43,000 residents but expects to grow significantly in the coming years. Lerum is only a 20-minute commute from Gothenburg and is currently undergoing a development-intensive period with many exciting projects underway, ranging from schools to housing. The municipality works to ensure good service, high welfare, and a thriving business climate.

Recently, Dagens Samhälle awarded Lerum as the winner in the category of metropolitan municipalities (2025) - an award based on a comprehensive comparison of 290 Swedish municipalities in areas such as education, healthcare, economy, culture and leisure, attractiveness, business, and future factors like digitalization and civil preparedness. We are now a Super Municipality!

We are looking for substitute teachers for the spring term of 2026 for Lerum Municipality's primary school and leisure activities.

As a substitute teacher with us, you will be employed through Lerum Municipality's Staffing Unit. The assignments apply when regular staff are absent, which can be for both short-term and long-term substitutes.

How it Works:

You will be intermittently employed (substitute) and receive ongoing requests for work shifts – sometimes at short notice (the same day), sometimes with longer notice. You indicate your availability in our digital booking system, where you can also express interest in specific shifts.

As a substitute, your work assignments may vary from day to day, and you may work in different classes, grades, and schools. Working hours are during weekdays.
