Vacant job

Folkuniversitetet has extensive experience in Swedish for immigrants, Komvux, and other adult education programs. We have now received renewed trust as one of two providers to conduct SFI and basic adult education on behalf of the City of Gothenburg. The assignment is comprehensive, and we are therefore looking for several new teachers who want to develop a school for the future together with us.

Do you value independence and a scientific approach? Is pedagogical renewal and the willingness to try new paths something that engages you? Then Folkuniversitetet may be the right employer for you. Welcome to us – an independent study association with a strong connection to universities.

About the position
The work involves teaching SFI during the day, evenings, and/or Saturdays. We will have students in all study paths and in various study forms. You will be part of a teaching team that collaborates closely with school management, administration, ICT pedagogues, coaches, and support functions. Teaching takes place on-site in our premises in Gothenburg.

Your skills and background
We are looking for someone with a teaching license and qualification in SFI/Swedish as a second language, which is a requirement (at least 30 higher education credits) and preferably with experience teaching SFI. You have a genuine interest in language development in theory and practice and in information and communication technology (ICT) and AI as pedagogical tools. You also have very good digital skills and experience from adult education. Further studies and/or experience in reading and writing development and basic literacy are meritorious.

As a teacher at our school, you are expected to have a relational approach both towards students and colleagues, the ability to see students' needs, to tailor the teaching to individuals, and to bring out each individual's potential. It is important that you are used to working independently and solution-focused. You need to be flexible, responsive, quick, and structured. We also see that you value real-world connections and contacts with the surrounding community and professional life in language education, as collaboration within talent education or internships is part of the assignment. You create good relationships with students that motivate them to develop. We expect that you share our view on the equal value of all people and the right to knowledge.
