Jönköping Municipality is a large employer with hundreds of different professional roles. We are growing in line with the municipality's development, with more residents, more housing, and a wider range of services. We are always looking for new competence – colleagues with different backgrounds and experiences, united by the common drive to create a better municipality to visit, live, work, and reside in.

Language is the key to learning. We are now seeking a driven language pedagogue who wants to contribute to increased equity. Through close collaboration with students and colleagues, you will create the best possible conditions for students' language, reading, and writing development. Welcome to us!

Your new job

A unique initiative for language development is underway in our preschools and primary schools in Jönköping Municipality. Working as a language pedagogue at one of the 15 primary schools that have received language pedagogue positions is part of this initiative.

As a language pedagogue, you will, based on the school's needs and student results, collaborate to develop teaching in preschool class, grade 1, and after-school centers. You will start from a centrally developed job description and, together with the principal, define your school-specific assignment. Your work includes leading and supporting collegial development processes based on research and proven experience to contribute to increasing the unit's competence in language, reading, and writing development. You will also support students in preschool class and grade 1 at the group level in their language, reading, and writing development, making interventions together with the work team. Based on a language plan developed within the municipality, you ensure that teaching in preschool class and grade 1 rests on scientific basis and proven experience.
