Preschool Teacher for Tallboda/Ekängen Preschools

Tallboda/Ekängen Preschools offer a unique and nature-oriented environment where play and learning take place outdoors in our beautiful yards and surrounding nature. Our preschools continuously welcome new children and therefore have an increased need for engaged and competent staff. We are looking for two new preschool teachers to join our team. Welcome to a preschool where the focus is on joyful learning!

Your Responsibilities

Your starting point as a preschool teacher is to have the overall pedagogical responsibility in the preschool. You are expected to lead and distribute the pedagogical work within the team while contributing to creating collegial learning. The team will work together to plan, teach, document, and evaluate the content of the activities based on the preschool's curriculum and other governing documents.

As a preschool teacher, you promote each child's development and learning based on their interests, experiences, and needs. You create curiosity and a desire to learn, both during planned activities and spontaneous moments.

Your role involves close collaboration with colleagues and guardians, as well as potential contacts with other actors related to the child.

Your Workplace

The Tallboda/Ekängen area consists of seven preschools: Gränsliden 8, Tomatvägen 14, Passadvindsvägen 2, Grönhögsvägen 58-60, Fönvindsvägen 12, Hästhagsvägen 8, and Linsvägen 5.

At all our preschools, we work based on a project-oriented approach where projects are driven by the children's interests and the preschool's governing documents. Here, educators are present, and we explore and learn together with the children. The focus is on the learning process and joyful learning, not just on the results. In our daily work, we place great emphasis on language and mathematics development. Furthermore, we systematically work with reception, communication, and feedback to promote a good working environment for both children and staff.

As an employee with us, you become part of a larger context. We have joint staff meetings where staff from several preschools meet for collaboration and exchange of experiences. Within the Ekängen/Tallboda Preschools, there is access to lead preschool teachers, special educators, and quality coordinators who support us in our work. The area's deputy principals also visit the activities once a week to provide support where needed.

To ensure that all children can become their best selves, we work in smaller groups. The goal is for all children in our preschools to experience an environment that is fun, safe, and educational. We have large yards that invite both play and learning. Additionally, the area is geographically located close to forests and water, providing rich opportunities for nature experiences and exploration.

Who We Are Looking For

Primarily, we are looking for someone with a preschool teacher certification. Alternatively, we are looking for someone with a degree from a preschool teacher education program. You may also be at the end of your preschool teacher education.

It is a requirement that you have experience working with children in a curriculum-based preschool through practice, as an employee, or as a volunteer. It is an advantage if you have worked for at least a year in a curriculum-based preschool where you have been involved in planning and teaching based on the curriculum.

You have a good communicative ability in spoken and written Swedish. This is necessary so that you, according to the curriculum (Lpfö18), can organize and carry out the work in a way that supports the child's language and communication development. You are responsible for ensuring that each child can use the Swedish language in a rich and nuanced way.

In your role as a preschool teacher, you create good relationships and collaborate well with children, colleagues, guardians, and other community contacts that are part of your professional role. You have a good understanding of people's differences and respond to them in a sensitive manner in teaching and the daily life of the preschool. You lead the work with both children and colleagues through motivation, engagement, and participation. The role also involves working with the applicable goals and quality standards for the preschool together with your colleagues.

In this recruitment process, we use language tests in the selection.
