• Teacher for Grades 7-9 in Social Studies. Permanent position starting in Spring 2026.

Your Responsibilities

Your main task will be to work with planning, teaching, guidance, and values-based work according to the curriculum (LGR22). However, being a teacher today involves much more. Working as a teacher means constantly developing new methods based on the students you meet. Capturing students' interests and creating fun and challenging lessons from that. It also involves documenting students' learning to enable them to reach their goals. In addition to pedagogy, you will also work with student health to ensure that students feel good and safe at school.

Your Qualifications

You are a certified teacher for grades 7-9. You are confident in your pedagogical leadership and actively use digital tools in the classroom. As a person, you build trust, serve as a role model, and establish relationships with students and their guardians. For you, collaboration is a given both in planning and in sharing knowledge and experiences.

We Offer

Among our employees, there is a wealth of knowledge, and we actively work to develop forms for collegial learning. Here, you will be part of a large school organization with opportunities for new challenges without having to change employers. We offer various forms of professional development such as training, networks, mentorship, and career paths as a lead teacher or lecturer. We also have a trainee program for future school leaders.

Here, you will be part of something bigger! With warmth and respect, we show initiative in both big and small matters. We live our values in our interactions with each other and those we serve. Every day, all year round, we ensure that Västerås functions. Together with your approximately 11,500 colleagues throughout the city, you will have Sweden's most important job.
