You will work within the unit for competence center, multilingualism, where mother tongue teaching and study guidance in the mother tongue are 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.

You express yourself well in Swedish in both speech and writing and have good IT skills. Previous teaching experience is advantageous, 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.
