Vacant job

Stockholm – our capital city full of millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone who lives here today and in the future. We are now looking for you who want to think big, new, and different with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Workplace Description

We see you, we hear you, you learn.

Betty Pettersson Gymnasium in Enskede opened its doors as a newly established upper secondary school in August 2022 when we welcomed our first students in year 1. The acute startup phase is now over, and our first students graduated in spring 2025. However, we are not fully grown up yet, and our plan going forward is to gradually increase the student body from the 450 students we will have this autumn to approximately 600 when the Natural Science (NA) program is fully expanded.

We are and will remain a relatively small upper secondary school characterized by community, a family-like atmosphere, and a pioneering spirit. Since we are a relatively new school, we are still an organization that allows and encourages work and initiatives regarding the design of our various educational programs, traditions, and who we want to be in the future. This is evident in our organization, which is characterized by a strong collaborative culture within the teaching staff but also between the school's different professions.

In our work with our students, we are guided by our keywords "We see you, we hear you, you learn" which means that we have a student-centered and relational approach as both subject teachers and mentors. The relationship with their teachers is something students highlight as particularly important for their academic success at our school. We hope this appeals to you and that you want to become part of our competent and engaged teaching team.
