Your Responsibilities

Your main task will be to work with planning, teaching, guidance, and values-based work based on the curriculum (LGR22). However, being a teacher today involves much more. It is about constantly developing new working methods based on the students you meet, capturing their interests, and creating fun and challenging teaching. It also involves documenting student learning to enable them to reach their goals. In addition to pedagogy, you also work with student health initiatives to ensure that students are doing well and feel safe at school.

Your Qualifications

You are a certified teacher for the compulsory school system, grades 7-9. You are confident in your pedagogical leadership and actively use digital tools in the classroom. As a person, you build trust, serve as a role model, and establish relationships with students and their guardians. Collaboration is second nature to you, both in planning and in sharing knowledge and experiences.

What We Offer

Our employees possess a diversity of knowledge, and we actively work to develop forms of collegial learning. Here, you become part of a large school organization with opportunities for new challenges without having to change employers. We offer various forms of competence development, such as training, networks, mentorship, and career paths such as lead teacher or senior teacher. We also have a trainee program for future school leaders.

Here, you become part of something bigger! With warmth and respect, we show initiative in both big and small matters. We live our values in our interactions with each other and those we serve. Every day, year-round, we ensure that Västerås functions. Together with your approx. 11,500 colleagues around the city, you will have Sweden's most important job.
