About the Workplace

Stenkulaskolan is a K-9 school with approximately 465 students. Starting in the school year 25/26, Stenkulaskolan will have the opportunity to start a resource school for students in grades 1-9, where we will actively work to ensure that all students are included according to their needs. This means that all staff need to be open to changing their approach and teaching methods to create an inclusive learning environment characterized by a strong belief that all students want to learn.

Stenkulaskolan is also Malmö's alternative for students with hearing impairments, who are fully included in regular teaching groups. The above conditions allow for smaller class sizes/teaching groups at the school to create the right learning environment for each student. We work according to Simon Sinek's The Golden Circle, and the school's Why is: “We Make The World A Better Place.” Stenkulaskolan's commitment plan has focused on Accessible Learning Environment, SKUA (Language and Knowledge Developing Working Methods), and ICT as an accelerator for pedagogy in recent years.

The commitments aim to create a sense of belonging for all children by enabling all employees to further develop the skills needed to create an accessible learning environment. We believe that we can all always develop and improve, and our school development is based on Michael Fullan's ideas about Coherence and Deepening Learning. Here at Stenkulaskolan, we make a real difference for ALL students every day. Join us in creating the best school for every student – you too!

The Primary School Administration – the city's largest administration with about 80 schools, 6300 employees, and 36,000 students offers a workplace for everyone. Here, we want to grow, develop, and challenge each other in our learning together – every day. We ensure that everyone has a good working environment and invest in leadership. Together, we all work for the best school for every student!

The City of Malmö's operations are organized into 14 administrations. Our common mission is to create welfare and sustainable community development.
