Vacant job

As a music teacher at Vanstaskolan, you will have the opportunity to make music a natural part of the students' daily lives. Here you can focus entirely on music teaching – mentorship is not included in the position, so you can direct your energy towards what you enjoy most.

Responsibilities

You will teach whole classes in grades 4–5 and 8–9, and half-classes in grades 6–7. This gives you both the dynamics of whole-class teaching and the opportunity to work more in-depth with smaller groups. Additionally, the school is launching profile courses this autumn, where you will be responsible for two music profile sessions per week.

You plan, conduct, and evaluate teaching based on the Swedish National Curriculum (Lgr22), and assign grades for grades 6–9.

About the Workplace

The primary task of the Child and Education Administration is to offer a safe and stimulating learning environment where we equip children and young people for the future. We also work to promote access to cultural and leisure activities for all residents.

Vanstaskolan is located in Nynäshamn Municipality, in a region where the sea, nature, and city pulse are within reach. The school is a grades F–9 school with several dedicated subject teachers, student health teams, and school leadership who work closely together. Here we invest in a safe and clear learning environment where knowledge, creativity, and relationships go hand in hand.

We are part of Nynäshamn Municipality, which has a clear focus on education, equality, and long-term societal benefit. The culture at the school is unpretentious and collegial – we share materials, bounce ideas off each other, and help each other when the schedule gets tight. As a music teacher, you collaborate closely with other practical-esthetic subjects and participate in creating the school's musical life, concerts, and theme days.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for you who want to help more students discover the joy and power of music – whether they already play three instruments or barely dare to sing. You thrive working both practically and structurally, and you like the combination of classroom teaching, ensemble work, digital tools, and creative approaches. You see the value of clear frameworks, but also have the courage to be flexible when reality demands it.

You enjoy collaborating with colleagues, are happy to share your ideas, and take the initiative to develop the music subject and the school's cultural and musical activities. Above all, you have a strong commitment to students in middle and upper secondary school, and want to contribute to a school where everyone feels welcome and seen.

To succeed in the role, you have:

To feel confident in the assignment, you need to have both subject competence in music and experience leading groups of children and young people. This allows you to create structure and calm while keeping the joy of playing alive.

• Teacher's degree with a focus on music for primary school, or equivalent pedagogical education
• At least 1 year of experience teaching music to students in grades 4–9
• Good ability to play at least one chord instrument that can be used in teaching
• Good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing
• Experience working with Lgr22, planning, assessment, and grading
• Basic IT skills and confidence in using digital learning tools in teaching

It is an advantage if you have:

In addition to the basic requirements, we view positively any experiences and knowledge that make it possible to develop our music profile and broaden the students' opportunities.

• Experience working with music profiles, music specialization, or similar activities
• Experience leading student performances, concerts, or other stage productions
• Experience working in primary school within the public sector
• Experience collaborating in work teams and cross-curricular projects
• Knowledge of several instruments or genres that can enrich teaching
• Knowledge in music production, sound technology, or digital creation

Personal qualities we are looking for

To thrive with us, you need to be a confident leader in the classroom who can combine structure with warmth and humor. You are clear about frameworks and expectations, but also have patience when things don't work out immediately – neither for students nor for technology. You are relationship-building, build trust, and dare to be yourself, while always keeping the students' learning in focus.

What We Offer You

• With us, you can make a difference in people's lives. Here you have close access to your manager and colleagues, influence, and decision-making power.
• Nynäshamn is a calm and safe municipality. Safety is also found in our teams – we are unpretentious, encouraging, and support each other when needed.
• Nynäshamn Municipality is part of one of Sweden's strongest growth regions. Our journey offers you opportunities for challenges and varied tasks.
• We offer free access to the gym. You also receive a wellness hour or wellness allowance.
• You have the opportunity to exchange vacation and pension days.
• We have an active staff association where you can rent cottages in the mountains and in the archipelago. You can also participate in various activities such as padel, kayaking, and horseback riding.

We apply continuous selection and use a competency-based recruitment method for a fair and objective assessment. Diversity is an asset, and we welcome all applicants.
