The Role of Mother Tongue Teacher with Us

Regardless of age, a rich and varied language is crucial for understanding and participating in a society where cultures, worldviews, generations, and languages meet. We are now expanding our operations with more skilled mother tongue teachers who thrive with people and pedagogy.

This position involves mother tongue instruction in Portuguese. As a mother tongue teacher, you will plan, conduct, and follow up on instruction in the subject of mother tongue based on the primary school curriculum. Your duties include assessing and grading students' knowledge. The role may also involve study guidance. This means providing support to multilingual students in their studies and acting as a language bridge between the school, the student, and the home. You will plan, implement, evaluate, and develop pedagogical work both independently and in collaboration with teachers at the school. You may also support newly arrived children and their guardians in preschool to help them understand and adapt to preschool routines.

Our unit for Multilingual Learning is located in central Kungsbacka, providing work and meeting spaces for all our mother tongue teachers. You will receive support from our lead teachers and ICT pedagogues. As a mother tongue teacher in Kungsbacka, you may work across the entire municipality, from Frillesås in the south to Kullavik in the north.

Your Profile

To succeed and thrive in this role, you need to be responsible and structured, as well as communicative and able to collaborate well with colleagues. You possess significant personal maturity, are receptive, and can maintain a professional attitude towards students, guardians, and colleagues alike. You enjoy acquiring new knowledge and sharing your own. You have the courage to seek out the information you need and to take initiative. Personal suitability is highly valued.

We are looking for you who are a qualified teacher with a Swedish teaching license. We assume you have Portuguese as your mother tongue and can therefore speak, read, and write it fluently. It is an advantage if you also have good knowledge of another language. In addition, you must master the Swedish language in both speech and writing. To handle the assignment, it is important that you have knowledge of the Swedish school system and our regulatory documents. Good computer skills are required, and a B driving license is desirable.
