Music Teacher to Västerås City

Västerås City has removed the personal letter from the application process. We do this to achieve a better and fairer recruitment process. When you submit your application, you will be asked to answer a number of questions that will be an important part of our selection work.

Here, as a music teacher, you have the opportunity to work at a safe and stable school where traditions, music, and community have a natural place. You are responsible for an exciting subject where, through your interest in music and learning, you contribute to engagement, creativity, and joy in music among our students. A warm welcome to us!

Your Responsibilities

The position is a full-time position and includes 50% music teaching. As a music teacher, you are responsible for planning, implementing, and evaluating music education for grades 1-6. An important part of the assignment is to contribute to and maintain the school's traditions such as Lucia, school graduations, and other joint events in close collaboration with class teachers.

The remaining 50% of the position can, based on your skills, interests, and the needs of the organization, be allocated to the after-school program or school library. The structure of the position is shaped in dialogue with you, with the music teacher assignment as the foundation.

Your Competence

You are a certified teacher with qualifications to teach music for grades 1-6. We view it positively if you have worked as a music teacher or have experience working with children and youth, for example, from community activities or cultural schools. We also welcome you as a newly graduated teacher and offer mentorship and support in your assignment.

Through an inclusive view of students and a willingness to adapt teaching, you contribute to ensuring that all our students have the opportunity to succeed. You meet students where they are and have the ability to create engagement, a calm working environment, and safe learning environments. Collaboration is a success factor in the role, and you enjoy working together with colleagues, student health, and guardians.
