Substitute Teachers for Lerum Municipality's Primary School and Leisure Activities

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 facing an intensive development period with many exciting projects underway, ranging from schools to housing. The municipality works to ensure 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!

We are looking for substitute teachers for Lerum Municipality's primary school and leisure activities.

As a substitute teacher with us, you will be employed through Lerum Municipality's Staffing Unit. The assignments apply when regular staff are absent, which can be for both short-term and long-term substitutes.

This is how it works:

You will be intermittently employed (as a substitute) and receive ongoing requests for work shifts - sometimes with short notice (the same day), sometimes with longer notice. You specify your availability in our digital booking system, where you can also express interest in specific work shifts.

As a substitute, your work assignments may vary from day to day, and you may work in different classes, grade levels, and schools. Working hours are during weekdays in the daytime.

By being actively present, you guide and motivate students in their schoolwork, participate in their activities, and contribute to a safe and structured environment. You help create a conducive study atmosphere, set clear boundaries, and build good relationships through interaction in the classroom and during other parts of the school day. The work is varied and involves significant responsibility and independence.

Examples of job responsibilities:

• Conduct lessons and lead classroom activities based on the regular staff's planning
• Be an additional resource in the classroom and support the teacher in daily tasks
• Assist individual students with tasks and needs that arise
• Be present during breaks to contribute to safety and good relationships
• Work in leisure activities

QUALIFICATIONS

You take responsibility, show initiative, and are confident in working independently. You have a good ability to structure your work and drive it forward while being attentive, observant, and enjoy collaborating in a group.

You are a person who can quickly adapt to new student groups, routines, and plans, and independently handle situations that arise during the school day.
