Workplace Description

"Together we take the next step"

Do you want to make a real difference every day?

At Hökarängsskolan, you will work in an organization where we together create the best conditions for every student's learning, development, and well-being – all day long.

Hökarängsskolan is a preschool to grade 9 school (F-9) with both regular and adapted primary education, as well as an after-school center and youth club/KTT. We have approximately 580 students, of whom around 60 are in adapted primary education.

We work from the belief that all students are everyone's students. Our students should be given the opportunity to develop as much as possible based on their prerequisites – both academically and socially.

What We Offer

Here, you get the opportunity to work with competent and engaged colleagues.
