Lerum Municipality is known for its scenic spots 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 a development-intensive 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.

Recently, Dagens Samhälle awarded Lerum as the winner in the category of large urban municipalities (2025) - an award based on a comprehensive comparison of 290 Swedish municipalities in areas such as education, healthcare, economy, culture and leisure, attractiveness, business, and future factors like digitalization and civil preparedness. We are now a Super Municipality!

The Tollereds Unit is located in the industrial town of Tollered just east of Lerum and belongs to the Floda school area in Lerum Municipality. The unit consists of preschool, after-school care, preschool class, and primary school for grades 1 to 5. There are approximately 86 students in total.

The school is situated in a green industrial environment next to forests and lakes. The school provides great opportunities for collaboration between classes. We shape the activities based on the needs and learning of the students.

Tollered School is a smaller F-5 school with an attached after-school program, where we partially work in mixed-age classes. We have a student health team with a school nurse, counselor, school psychologist, and special educator. Adjacent to the school is also Tollereds Preschool.

You should be comfortable conducting lessons outdoors in forests and fields. Experience working with children with autism, NPF, speech disorders, and/or diabetes is a plus.

You have the ability to create safe relationships with students, colleagues, and guardians. With a positive approach, you focus on the student's ability to develop socially and academically and have close collaboration with other educators at the school. You have clear communication, understand the importance of being a team player, and contribute with a positive spirit.
