We are looking for someone with a university degree and experience in teaching or experience working with children and youth. Educational training is an advantage.

You should be able to work fluently with students who have Kinyarwanda as their mother tongue. You should also have good subject knowledge in several of the school subjects.

You should also have good knowledge of the Swedish language to fulfill the assignment.

We place great importance on your ability to collaborate and communicate with students, colleagues, and, if necessary, guardians. Computer skills are a requirement and a prerequisite for fulfilling the assignment. Experience with the school portal Vklass is an advantage.
