Vacant job

Ljunghaga School is a small F–6 school located in a rural and very peaceful environment, where the proximity to nature permeates the entire operation. We work in small student groups, which creates a warm and family-like atmosphere and provides good opportunities to see each student and build secure relationships.

The school's pedagogical focus emphasizes creativity, variety, and learning that sparks curiosity and joy. Here, students are encouraged to explore, experiment, and think for themselves — and as a teacher, you will have the space to work practically, thematically, and imaginatively to stimulate their joy of discovery.

We base our work on analog methods, using digital tools sparingly and with clear purpose. The school's surroundings — forests, meadows, lakes, and farm environments — offer excellent opportunities for outdoor pedagogy and realistic teaching.

The team works closely and continuously together, placing great importance on collaboration and a willingness to contribute to the whole. All adults at the school share a common responsibility for meeting the 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.

Responsibilities

• Teach according to the curriculum, course plans, and timetable
• Plan, implement, and follow up on teaching with a focus on analog methods
• Use the school's outdoor environment as a natural part of teaching
• Create structure, peace, and good relationships in the classroom
• Adapt teaching for groups with mixed ages
• Act as a mentor and participate in the school's joint development work

Qualifications

• Certified teacher with eligibility for grades F–3 (eligibility for F–6 is an advantage)
• Experience teaching in groups with mixed ages is an advantage
• Experience with practical, varied, and student-centered approaches is an advantage
• Ability to work in a structured and relationship-building manner, as well as in close collaboration with colleagues and guardians

Personal Attributes

We are looking for someone who is confident, responsible, and has a clear interest in creative and analog teaching methods. You enjoy working on a smaller scale, close to nature, and value close collaboration within the team.

What We Offer

• A rural and secure school environment with small student groups
• Opportunities to influence and develop the school's working methods
• Engaged colleagues and short decision-making paths
• A developing school with engaged guardians and a clear pedagogical direction
• Opportunities for part-time or full-time positions
