Teacher of Swedish and Swedish as a Second Language at Prästavångsskolan, Östra Göinge Municipality

Östra Göinge Municipality, with just over 13,800 inhabitants, is centrally located in southern Sweden. Here, the open agricultural landscape meets the green forested countryside. In Östra Göinge, life is good with secure housing, good schools, magnificent nature, a broad cultural offering, a vibrant association life, and good communications. Östra Göinge is one of the country's boldest and most innovative municipalities. Here, setbacks have been turned into success, and proud Göinge residents grow!

One of Östra Göinge's priority 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. But to raise the municipality's school results, to be able to offer the education and environment that our children and young people need and are entitled to, we must also have the right employees in the right places. That is why we need you!

We are a curious and exciting municipality that challenges old truths, dares to try new paths, and has very good cooperation and trust between politicians and civil servants. With us, your competence, your 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 into two school units per stage, but for the autumn of 2026, the school will be merged into one F-6 school. The school also has five after-school center departments; four year-specific after-school departments for grades F-3 and a joint after-school department for the older students in grades 4-6.

The school has worked health-promoting for many years through health councils, value-based teams, and student health teams. Our physical activity initiative in collaboration 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 physical activity with extra reading-promoting measures before and during holidays. Reading should be a natural part of both the school and the after-school center.

Responsibilities

1 position(s).

As a teacher of Swedish and Swedish as a second language, you, together with your work team, are responsible for the planning, implementation, documentation, and follow-up of teaching in grades 5-6 according to current steering documents. The teaching is primarily conducted in co-teaching, where we base ourselves on research and proven teaching models to create accessible and inclusive learning environments. The assignment may also include targeted intensive interventions for individual students or smaller student groups.

You work in close collaboration with colleagues in the work team and student health services and actively contribute to the school's development work and common value base. Documentation, formative assessment, and follow-up of students' learning are a natural part of the assignment. Shared mentorship within the grade level may be included in the position.

Östra Göinge Municipality's extra school initiative "School Journey 2030," for higher goal fulfillment, is the main focus for all our school operations.

We place great importance on your personal qualities and that you share the thoughts and values that Prästavångsskolan stands for.

Qualifications

You are a certified teacher in Swedish and Swedish as a second language and share our conviction that all students can succeed with the right support. You have the ability to create secure relationships, lead teaching with clarity and structure, and actively contribute to collegial learning. You work solution-focused, value-based, and take responsibility for both teaching and joint development.

We are looking for you who are engaged, responsible, and have a professional approach. You are flexible, solution-focused, and enjoy working in close collaboration with others. You have a good ability to create secure relationships with students and meet them based on their different prerequisites. You work from a low-affective approach, are responsive in meetings with students, and can maintain calm and clarity even in challenging situations. Furthermore, you are structured, communicative, and have a secure and clear leadership in teaching.

Prästavångsskolan is a "Reading Owns" school, where reading and language development are a common concern for the entire operation. An extra interest in literature, reading-promoting work, and students' reading development is therefore important in this position. The school is also health-profiled, where movement and physical activity are a natural part of the school day and permeate teaching and after-school activities. To thrive and succeed in the role, it is important that you share the thoughts, values, and value base that Prästavångsskolan stands for.
