One of Östra Göinge's prioritized goals is to give all children and young people a good start in life. Therefore, we invest in our schools and in the development of our students. However, to raise the municipality's school results and to offer the education and environment that our children and young people need and are entitled to, we also need the right employees in the right places. That is why we need you!

With us, your competence, thoughts, and ideas are both important and welcome. We invest in you, so that you can invest in what is most valuable to us – our students and their future!

About the School

Prästavångsskolan has a total of approximately 370 students. Currently, the school is divided by stage into two school units, but from autumn 2026, the school will be merged into a single F-6 school. The school also has five after-school center departments; four year-group-based after-school departments for grades F-3 and one joint after-school department for the older students in grades 4-6.

The school has worked health-promoting for many years via health councils, value-based teams, and student health teams. Our sports initiative in cooperation with RF-SISU Skåne permeates a large part of the school's operations and breaks. In recent years, we have also become a "Reading Owns" school and linked reading with movement with extra reading-promoting initiatives before and during holidays. Reading should be a natural part of both the school and the after-school center.

Responsibilities

We are now looking for you who are a true inspiration and who enjoy developing and being developed in your role as a teacher. You collaborate closely with your colleagues both within the grade level and with other teachers across grades F-3. The teaching team has close cooperation and conducts purposeful collegial learning, under the leadership of lead teachers, with increased goal achievement in focus.

Östra Göinge Municipality is in the middle of a major school investment that started in 2022. Throughout the year, the investment has accelerated further in the new phase "Skolresan 2.0" (The School Journey 2.0). Our prioritized areas Knowledge and Learning, Safety and Study Environment, and Future Dreams are at the center of all target work carried out at the school, with accessible education as the foundation.

Language-developing working methods, cooperative learning, and the use of digital tools in teaching are a matter of course. We use iPads in the pre-school class (F-class) and work mostly one-to-one with Chromebooks in grades 1-3. You are well familiar with these digital tools, among others, and they form a natural part of your teaching.

At our school, all employees are encouraged to think creatively and come up with new ideas, which gives you great opportunities to influence your work situation.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are a certified teacher with eligibility to teach in grades F-3.

You are a skilled pedagogue with good didactic ability and can organize and structure your work based on stated goals. You have good self-insight, are confident in yourself and in your pedagogical leadership, and have the ability to take leadership. You have a professional appearance in your interaction with students, guardians, and colleagues, while being responsive and patient. You are well-versed in accessible education and apply it in your classroom work.

You have high expectations for students, believe that everyone can succeed, and are willing to create the best conditions for it. You find it easy to collaborate and see collaboration with others as a source of development. Naturally, you also find it easy to express yourself well in both speech and writing.

Our school has a health profile, and we welcome applicants who have a great commitment to this, as well as those who have aesthetic learning processes as a natural part of their teaching. We place great emphasis on your personal qualities with a focus on social competence and initiative, and that you share the thoughts and values that Prästavångsskolan stands for.

Competence and experience regarding language-developing working methods, cooperative learning, health work, as well as active promoting and preventive value-based work, are seen as particularly meritorious.
