Vacant job

Ljunghaga School is a small F–6 school with an associated after-school center (fritidshem) located in a rural and very peaceful environment, where the proximity to nature permeates the entire operation. We create a warm and family-like atmosphere and provide excellent opportunities to see each student and build secure relationships.

The pedagogical focus of the school and the after-school center emphasizes creativity, variety, and learning that sparks curiosity, joy, and the thrill of discovery. Here, students are encouraged to explore, try, and think for themselves, while also having space for rest and recovery.

We work primarily with analog methods, using digital tools sparingly and with a clear purpose. Our geographical surroundings — forests, meadows, lakes, and farm environments — offer great opportunities to take students outdoors.

The team works closely and continuously together, placing great value on collaboration and a willingness to contribute to the whole. All adults at the school share a common responsibility for meeting students' needs for belonging, security, and appreciation. Therefore, we are looking for you who thrive in an operation where relationships, collaboration, and shared responsibility are at the center.
