Vacant job

Do you have a genuine interest in children's learning and development? Are you looking for a meaningful job with opportunities for growth? We create conditions for children's desire to learn and the possibility to succeed.

Welcome to shape the future with us - lifelong learning begins in preschool!

Do you want to work with teaching based on children's influence? Do you enjoy learning in a collegial context? Do you have a strong interest in working with different learning environments?

Virvelvinden Preschool is a preschool with great commitment where we are constantly seeking ways for development. The preschool is divided into five departments with younger and older children and also includes a 24-hour open department. We are the only 24-hour open preschool in Borås City, which means we also have staff who cover the operation during evenings, weekends, and nights. The current position is not intended for our 24-hour operation, but during the day, the children are included in the regular preschool activities at Virvelvinden Preschool.

Our view of children is based on the competent and thinking child. With us, there is an accepting approach where children's own thoughts, ideas, and actions are given ample space. We take children's questions seriously and see learning as something we create together - the educators are co-discoverers who, in dialogue with the children, explore, reflect, and seek answers to questions that arise in everyday life. Previously, we participated in the project "100 languages, 100 environments". It was during this work that our way of working with learning environments took shape and developed. The experiences from the project continue to live on in our daily life and shape how we today consciously design, use, and change the learning environments as an active part of teaching.

At Virvelvinden Preschool, we work to ensure that preschool is safe, enjoyable, and educational. It is a place where each child is met according to their needs and conditions and where children have an influence over the content of the activities. We who work at the preschool see it as a starting point where we build a foundation for civic education.

As a preschool teacher, you are responsible for planning, implementing, and evaluating the teaching. You use documentation and systematic quality work to follow up and evaluate the results from the work in the child group. In close collaboration with the work team, you create conditions for children's development and learning.

You have scheduled pedagogical development time in your schedule where there is time for collegial learning in various forums and contexts, reflection in the work team, and individual planning for teaching.

As a preschool teacher at Virvelvinden Preschool, you actively work to drive development work forward. We are divided into different groups based on focus areas, and your task includes, together with your colleagues, taking responsibility for, developing, and following up your area in close interplay with the preschool's overall goals.

Within the Preschool Administration, we have free pedagogical lunches, work clothes, and as a preschool teacher, you also have an average of five hours of planning time per week. We also offer a trained mentor if you are new to the profession, as well as opportunities for further education and collegial learning. Read more about us and what it is like to work in preschool!
