Job Advertisement: Certified Teacher for Knappekullaskolan

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 is working to ensure both good service, high welfare, and a thriving business climate.

Dagens Samhälle has recently named Lerum 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 and social services, economy, culture and leisure, attractiveness, business, and future factors like digitalization and civil preparedness. We are now a Super Municipality!

Knappekullaskolan is centrally located in Lerum, close to public transport. Interest in the school is high, the number of students is increasing, and we currently have about 500 students in grades F-5 and an integrated Adapted Primary School. In recent years, we have actively worked on learning environments (physical, social, and pedagogical) as well as classroom leadership. Our goal is for students at our school to achieve as far as possible based on their individual circumstances. Our school has a high proportion of certified and qualified teachers. The main task of the work team is to create a whole around the student and work for accessible learning environments and a clear and relational leadership based on current governing documents.

We are in the process of building a new school that will include grades F-9. Our new school is expected to be completed within a couple of years.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

We are looking for someone who takes great responsibility for developing in their profession and sees their work as an opportunity to contribute to maximum learning for students, themselves, and their colleagues.

In your role, you are responsible for ensuring that each student succeeds based on their circumstances and that all students are met with high expectations. The work is characterized by low-affect responses and clarifying pedagogy.

You will be responsible for about 27 students in a primary class where you plan, implement, and evaluate the after-school activities. The after-school program includes students from three classes in the same grade, and during after-school hours, you collaborate with two other teachers in the after-school program. You will also spend part of your time in the classroom during school hours and have close collaboration with the class teacher.

You view development work as a natural part of the teaching profession and want to collaborate with the school's other educators. You are goal- and result-oriented, have good leadership qualities, and possess a holistic view. Through a conscious approach, you create security, trust, and good relationships. You have the ability to be a qualified conversation partner in pedagogical matters for colleagues, parents, and other stakeholders. You are creative and stimulated by challenges, flexible, and easy to collaborate with.
