Your mission

Since its inception in 2013, the school has trained hair and makeup stylists. We are now expanding our operations with a hairdressing profile starting in August 2026. Therefore, we are looking for a vocational teacher in hairdressing who wants to help build Gävle's best hairdressing education.

The position is 80 - 100% depending on what we agree upon and is a permanent position with a 6-month probationary period starting August 11, 2026.

As a vocational teacher in hairdressing, you will take great responsibility for planning and conducting the teaching. You will have good opportunities to influence the design of the school's salon and the structure of the education in consultation with the principal and colleagues within the program. You will also be the face of the program to present it to future students at open houses and on social media.

Subjects and tasks included in this year's service planning are as follows:

• Hairdressing - Technique 1
• Hairdressing - Technique 2
• Hair Care and Salon Knowledge 1

• APL - Preparatory work to find APL placements for the second year.

Your profile

Primarily, we are looking for someone who is a licensed vocational teacher, or has extensive professional experience as a hairdresser. If you do not have a vocational teacher's degree, we expect you to have the willingness to study to become a licensed vocational teacher in the future. However, the most important thing is good professional knowledge, pedagogical skills, and the desire to create a really good education for the students.

It is advantageous if you have experience mentoring APL students, have a journeyman's certificate as a hairdresser, and experience as a hair and makeup stylist.

For us, both quality and good relationships are important in everything we do. Therefore, we are looking for someone who has a strong personal commitment to both the content of the education and in communication with students and guardians. We believe in the motto "it is important to us that you succeed" and therefore go the extra mile to help our students graduate.

As a teacher, you are attentive, have good structure in both planning and lesson design, and have a good ability to create motivation and a conducive learning environment among our students.

As a colleague, you take responsibility for both small and large issues in everyday life and want to actively contribute to the school's development during joint conferences.

We offer

As a vocational teacher, you will be part of a team with several vocational teachers at the school. You will work closely together and have ongoing conferences to develop the program and collaboration on assessment issues. You will also be part of a larger network with vocational teachers from our 25 other schools within Drottning Blanka and meet through digital meetings a few times a year.

You will also have the opportunity for internal professional development by visiting one of our other schools in Gothenburg for a kickoff for teachers in hairdressing and hair and makeup styling.

As a school within Academedia, we also offer our employees continuous professional development through Academedia Academy. It is important to us that you succeed, and therefore you will of course receive collective agreement benefits and insurance, as well as wellness grants, pension advice, and the opportunity for favorable purchases through net and gross salary exchange.

Drottning Blanka's Gymnasieskolor places great importance on personal, local, and global engagement. We create meaningfulness through external collaborations, and our global perspective permeates our schools. Every year, we send students on international APL, and you can be part of the school's internationalization efforts.
