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 formed who are given the right tools and knowledge to create a better and more sustainable society. We do this with our unique pedagogical approach based on three parts: conscious learning, courageous culture, and clear structure.

Do you have a passion for crafts, creativity, and design? Make a difference for our students in grades 3–9.

Are you a confident leader who can inspire students to explore materials, tools, and their own ideas in the craft workshops? Then we have an exciting opportunity for you at Vittra Vallentuna. We are now looking for an engaged and certified craft teacher (wood and metal) for a permanent position.

With us, you get the chance to work in an environment characterized by community, a clear pedagogical focus, and a strong belief in every individual's potential.
