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 Prolympia, students receive a secure school experience with a focus on sports, health, and outdoor life. This means they have more physical education on their 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 offer you, as an employee, the opportunity to influence and develop our operations. We systematically strive to provide a good working environment, favorable employment conditions, and strong collegial cohesion with a wonderful team spirit.

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