Mother Tongue Teachers and Study Guides in Skellefteå Municipality

Do you want to contribute to children and young people having the opportunity to develop both their language and cultural identity? Skellefteå Municipality is now looking for engaged mother tongue teachers and study guides who want to make a difference in students' everyday lives. With us, you will have a meaningful assignment where your language skills are a key to students' learning, security, and belief in the future.

We are looking for mother tongue teachers and study guides in the following languages:

• Sinhalese
• Vietnamese
• Igbo
• German
• Meänkieli

The need may change over time based on the student population. The scope of the positions is determined by the number of students in each language. Currently, the positions are hourly employment, with the exception of Meänkieli, which is a permanent position at 75%.

YOUR ROLE

As a mother tongue teacher and study guide, you will teach and support students in primary and secondary school, either in groups or individually. Teaching primarily takes place on-site at various school units around the municipality and is scheduled during daytime and sometimes evening hours. Remote teaching may occur in exceptional cases.

You will work within the competence center unit, multilingualism, where mother tongue teaching and study guidance in the mother tongue is a natural part of the school's mission. In this role, you contribute to strengthening students' language development, subject knowledge, and self-esteem – while being an important part of the school's and municipality's work for equitable education.

YOUR COMPETENCE AND EXPERIENCE

You have the relevant language as your mother tongue and master it fluently in both speech and writing. You also have a good understanding of the culture in the areas where the language is spoken.

You express yourself well in Swedish in speech and writing and have good IT skills. Previous teaching experience is an advantage, as is a teaching license or other pedagogical education.

As a person, you are engaged, creative, and have a genuine interest in working with children and young people. You find it easy to build good relationships with students, guardians, and colleagues, and you plan your work in an independent and structured manner. Collaboration is a natural part of your working method, and you actively contribute to the team with other mother tongue teachers.

YOUR NEW WORKPLACE

In Skellefteå Municipality, we work to ensure that all children and students have the opportunity to succeed in school, regardless of linguistic background. Mother tongue teaching and study guidance are an important part of that mission. With us, you will be part of an organization characterized by commitment, collaboration, and belief in the future.

As an employee of Skellefteå Municipality, you will have a secure employer with a clear focus on quality, development, and equity. The work involves travel between different schools in the municipality, which requires you to be able to independently travel between workplaces.

GOOD TO KNOW

We recruit based on competence and focus on your experience, knowledge, and potential. Instead of a personal letter, you will answer some selection questions and attach an updated CV. Psychological tests are used as part of the recruitment process. Selection and appointment may occur on an ongoing basis – therefore, do not wait to apply.
