Preschool Teacher in Skellefteå Municipality

Imagine a workday where children's curiosity meets your creativity. As a preschool teacher in Skellefteå municipality, you get to be both a leader and a co-discoverer – an adult who shows the way while sharing the joy of children's discoveries. Together with engaged colleagues, you build a safe, fun, and educational environment that lays the foundation for future learning.

YOUR ROLE

As a preschool teacher in Skellefteå municipality, you will help shape the very first part of children's educational journey. You are responsible for creating a safe, inspiring, and developing environment where play and learning go hand in hand.

You plan, implement, and follow up on teaching together with your colleagues. You are also the one who captures the moments when learning happens spontaneously. Sometimes you show the way forward, sometimes you step aside and let the children take the steps themselves. With your commitment and creativity, you help each individual grow, and you make a difference in every encounter.

YOUR COMPETENCE AND EXPERIENCE

We are looking for someone who wants to work closely with children and contribute to their development every day. You are a qualified preschool teacher with a license, but even if you are waiting for your license, you are welcome to apply if you can provide a receipt from the Swedish National Agency for Education. Since you will be working closely with children, you need to submit a current extract from the criminal record.

We believe that you thrive in an environment where play and learning go hand in hand. You enjoy collaborating with colleagues and guardians, and the children see you as a safe and responsive adult who sees, listens, and encourages. Your presence and engagement make a difference in both small and large moments.

Since the work involves documentation and communication with digital tools, it is important that you have basic IT skills. It is also a requirement that you have good communication skills in Swedish, both spoken and written, and can adapt your language to different situations and target groups. In some areas, a B driver's license is also required.

It is an advantage if you have previously worked in preschool, especially with planning and teaching based on the curriculum. If you can speak Finnish or Sami, we see it as an asset, and sign language is also valuable in our operations.

YOUR NEW WORKPLACE

Skellefteå is a municipality in strong development, and our societal transformation is clearly noticeable even within preschool. With around 40 preschools, we work together to give every child a safe and educational start in life.

We work long-term to develop preschool and ensure children's right to education – always from an equity perspective. This means that you will be part of an organization where we learn from each other, share experiences, and drive development together. Here you will work in teams where collaboration and collegial learning are central. You can expect to both give and receive support in everyday life, and we invest in continuous professional development so that you can grow in your professional role.

• Boliden/Mobacken
