Vacant job

Prolympia Östersund is an independent primary school with a focus on sports and health, located in the Norr district of central Östersund. The school started its operations in 2004 and currently has 466 students and 55 employees. At our school, students receive a secure education with a focus on sports, health, and outdoor life. This means more sports and health lessons on the schedule and more outdoor days with overnight stays compared to a traditional school.

Our staff is our most important resource. We value everyone's opinions and give you, as an employee, the opportunity to influence and develop our operations. We systematically strive for a good working environment, favorable employment conditions, and strong collegial cohesion with a wonderful team spirit.

Welcome to a school where work with sports, health, and outdoor life permeates the entire operation.
