Vacant job

Färgelanda Municipality

Färgelanda Municipality is located in the heart of Dalsland – where sparkling lakes, deep forests, and a rich outdoor life meet, with close proximity to Uddevalla, Vänersborg, and Trollhättan. We are a small municipality with short decision-making paths, strong cohesion, and a culture where openness, participation, and initiative are natural parts of everyday life. Our core values – engaged, entrepreneurial, and with a welcoming attitude – permeate the entire organization.

Here, you will quickly become an important part of the whole. With approximately 500 employees within Care, Children & Education, Community Development, and Administration, we offer a work environment where security, development opportunities, and community go hand in hand. In Färgelanda, it is easy to thrive – both at home and at work.

Are you the teacher who looks beyond the surface and builds bridges?

We are looking for an engaged teacher for our small teaching group at Valbo School.

About our students

In our small group, there are students who have enormous potential but have, for various reasons, lost trust in the traditional school environment. These are young people with strong wills, great integrity, and an honesty that challenges. That they sometimes show their frustration outwardly, we see as a form of communication – a call for understanding, clarity, and secure adults. They are far from "school-weary" in reality; they are just tired of not succeeding.

Your role

Here you get the chance to work in a way that actually makes a difference. Forget assembly-line pedagogy; in this group, the relationship is your most important tool. We focus on school attendance, well-being, and increased goal achievement. We work for a learning environment where students thrive and can concentrate on their studies.

• You create an environment where every student feels seen, even on days when their mood falters.
• You adapt the teaching so that it becomes understandable and manageable.
• You work closely with another educator, sharing successes and helping each other when storms arise.

Who are you?

We are looking for you who have a genuine interest in people and a good sense of humor.

• You are secure in your professional role: You know that outbursts of behavior rarely have to do with you personally, but rather with the student's state of mind that day.
• You are low-affective: You keep your calm when energy levels rise and function as a safe harbor.
• You see progress in the small things: You understand that a good discussion or a shared laugh can be a greater victory than finishing a chapter in a math book.

What we offer you:

• The opportunity to work closely with students and see the actual development that occurs when security sets in.

Do you believe that every student can succeed with the right support? Then we want to meet you!
