Workplace Description

At Språkskolan in Upplands Väsby, students learn early that differences enrich and that all people have equal value. The intercultural character of the school, where many languages and nationalities meet, creates a positive sense of community among both students and staff.

The school is centrally located in Smedby and is easily accessible with good transportation links. The school is nestled in beautiful nature with walking paths and no disturbing traffic. It is a well-established independent school run by the Språkskolan Foundation in Upplands Väsby. Under the school's roof, you will find the English School, Sverigefinska School, both with associated after-school care, and Språkskolan's Preschool.

You collaborate with the teacher in the classroom and with others in the work team, as well as with school management, the counselor, and the social pedagogue. Together with the work team, you will lead the continued development of after-school activities. In your teaching, you will promote students' imagination, empathy, and ability to learn together with others through play, movement, and creative expression, as well as exploratory and practical methods. You will support students during transitions between lessons, breaks, and meals, as well as the transition from school to after-school care.
