Are you attracted to enabling a developing and inclusive future for newly arrived children and youth? Then this could be a position for you! We are looking for an engaged mother tongue teacher! Come and shape Gävle's future with us.

The students should be given the opportunity to develop and consolidate subject knowledge based on their linguistic prerequisites, which is why we are now seeking mother tongue teachers in Mandarin for Gävle municipality's primary schools. The work is carried out in collaboration with other educators, student health, and guardians.

As a mother tongue teacher in Mandarin, your responsibilities include:

• teaching the language
• educating students about the culture and traditions of the countries where the language is spoken

The teaching follows a curriculum that has a comparative purpose, which means that you must also have good Swedish language skills.

For students who struggle to meet the knowledge requirements or keep up with other subjects, you as a mother tongue teacher can support them through study guidance. This involves highlighting or deepening students' knowledge in an area where Swedish concepts need to be clarified and discussed in their mother tongue.

The scope of employment is 15%.
