Vittra Väsby is hiring After-School Teacher

Vittra Schools, one of Sweden's leading independent school companies with 24 preschools and primary schools across the country. Together, we are responsible for approximately 8000 children and students and have around 1000 employees. We started our first school in 1993 and have been part of AcadeMedia, the largest education company in the Nordic region, since 2008.

At Vittra, our goal is for every child to become aware of themselves and the world around them. We prepare them with knowledge and courage so that they feel they can contribute to making society better.

Vittra is a socially engaged preschool and primary school where children and students learn about themselves and the world. With us, conscious children and students are shaped who receive the right tools and knowledge to create a better and more sustainable society. We do this with our unique educational approach based on three parts: conscious learning, courageous culture, and clear structure.

About the role:

Are you an after-school teacher who is driven to create a meaningful leisure time for children and young people? Who understands its importance and has the competence to fulfill the role? We are now looking for a qualified after-school teacher for our after-school program.

As a trained after-school teacher, you will help lead and develop the after-school program's activities. We have a strong focus on language and knowledge-developing methods throughout the school day. Therefore, you should enjoy both leading and developing, as well as have a curious approach to your role. You need to appreciate and see the value in working systematically and planning the teaching in the after-school program based on Lgr-22 and the students' needs and interests.

At Vittra, you belong to a work team, and we are looking for employees who are interested in participating and contributing to collegial learning. Together, we create our learning environment and the culture we want our organization to be characterized by.

About Vittra:

At Vittra, you will encounter an organization with strong commitment, high quality, and lots of joy. You work in a stimulating and safe environment with close pedagogical relationships between adults and children. At Vittra, we have high expectations of ourselves and our joint work, which is based on collegial learning and the individual needs of students. Together, we build a safe and challenging environment where everyone can develop according to their own conditions, both students and adults.

At Vittra, we believe in conscious learning, a courageous culture, and community-oriented teaching where students engage with society outside of school in various ways. In our teaching, we weave in current societal issues and explore what happens beyond the school walls. This occurs, for example, through editorial work and projects linked to local and global goals. With us, students learn to think for themselves, express themselves, and make a difference.

At Vittra, the after-school program and the school form a whole. Learning and development guide all planned activities, and just like in school, we systematically work to follow up on the quality of everything we do. Therefore, we meet in regular collegial conversations to discuss teaching. The students are our most important partners and are constantly present in our development work. This means that it is always we, the after-school teachers, who are responsible for both the teaching and the pedagogical relationship, but everything we do is done in collaboration with the students.

Vittra Väsby is located in Upplands Väsby municipality and started in 2006. Vittra Väsby is situated in Upplands Väsby, a municipality with about 42,000 inhabitants north of Stockholm. The school has suitable, bright, and spacious premises that invite good learning environments tailored to meet the students' needs with support and in collaboration with SPSM, the Swedish National Agency for Special Needs Education and Schools.

The school has access to a sports hall, Smedsgärdshallen, which is located near the school. The outdoor environment is adapted for play and learning.

At Vittra Väsby, we work according to the Swedish National Agency for Education's recommendations regarding full-day learning, which means an active and pedagogical after-school program that complements the school.

At Vittra Väsby, students from preschool class to grade 9 attend. The students at Vittra Väsby are part of an age-integrated work team. Each work team is led by a team leader who is also part of the school's management group. Each student belongs to a responsibility group with an assigned responsible teacher, and the responsibility group meets their responsible teacher daily during a gathering. The purpose of the gatherings is to create conditions for close relationships, conscious learning, and a courageous culture.
