Vacant job

Ljunghaga School is a small F–6 school located in a rural and very peaceful environment, where the proximity to nature permeates the entire operation. We work in small student groups, which creates a warm and family-like atmosphere and provides good opportunities to see each student and build secure relationships.

The school's pedagogical focus emphasizes creativity, variety, and a learning process that sparks curiosity and joy. Here, students are encouraged to explore, try, and think for themselves — and you as a teacher have the space to work practically, thematically, and imaginatively to stimulate their joy of discovery.

We primarily use analog methods, with digital tools being used sparingly and with a clear purpose. The school's surroundings — forests, meadows, lakes, and farm environments — offer excellent opportunities for outdoor education and real-world teaching.

The work team collaborates closely and continuously, placing great importance on teamwork and a willingness to contribute to the whole. All adults at the school share a common responsibility to meet students' needs for belonging, security, and appreciation. Therefore, we are looking for someone who thrives in an environment where relationships, collaboration, and shared responsibility are central.

Responsibilities

• Teach grades F–3 according to the curriculum, course plans, and schedules
• Plan, implement, and follow up on teaching with a focus on analog methods
• Utilize the school's outdoor environment as a natural part of the teaching
• Create structure, calm, and good relationships in the classroom
• Adapt teaching for groups with mixed ages
• Be a mentor and participate in the school's joint development work

Qualifications

• Certified teacher with qualifications for grades F–3 (qualification for F–6 is an advantage)
• Experience teaching groups with mixed ages is an advantage
• Experience with practical, varied, and student-centered working methods is an advantage
• Ability to work in a structured and relationship-building manner, as well as in close collaboration with colleagues and guardians

Personal qualities

We are looking for someone who is secure, responsible, and has a clear interest in creative and analog teaching methods. You enjoy working on a smaller scale, close to nature, and value close collaboration within the team.

We offer

• A rural and safe school environment with small student groups
• The opportunity to influence and develop the school's working methods
• Engaged colleagues and short decision-making paths
• A school in development with engaged guardians and a clear pedagogical direction
