Do you want to work in a culture school where tradition and development go hand in hand?

Avesta Culture School is an engaged operation with music and theater in focus. We cherish what has shaped us – not least the strong tradition of wind music – while simultaneously creating space for new working methods, projects, and artistic expressions.

With us, tradition is combined with new thinking in teaching, concerts, and collaborations. We work closely with our students, in our premises, and out at schools in the municipality, and have an active exchange with neighboring municipalities that gives both students and educators larger contexts to develop in.

We are now looking for one to two music teachers who can teach at least one of the following subjects/instruments: transverse flute, saxophone, clarinet, percussion, or rhythmics. The positions are permanent, and the extent can be adapted based on your competence and what you yourself desire (approx. 50-100%).

Experience or competence in more subjects or artistic expressions is meritorious. You will become part of a cohesive work team where engagement is valued, and you will have the opportunity to influence both teaching and the content of the operation.

About the role

As a music teacher, you work with teaching, projects, and concerts in an operation where breadth and quality go hand in hand. The teaching takes place both in the culture school's premises and out at schools in the municipality.

You meet children and young people of different ages and contexts and are responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on your teaching, which can consist of both individual lessons and group teaching as well as ensemble and orchestra activities. The teaching is adapted to the students' different interests and prerequisites, which means you need to be able to teach in different genres.

You participate in concerts, rehearsals, and projects and contribute to the development of the operation. The work involves close collaboration with colleagues within the culture school, primary school, and regionally. You participate in operational meetings and cooperation that develops the operation. You also have ongoing contact with students, guardians, and other collaboration partners.

The work also means that you move between different workplaces in the municipality, which requires a B-driver's license and access to your own car. You are an important representative and ambassador for the culture school. Evening and weekend work occurs, and classroom teaching may also occur.

Who are you?

We are looking for you who are an engaged and secure educator with a good understanding of how children and young people learn. You adapt your teaching to the student's needs and create an inspiring and inclusive learning environment.

You collaborate well with others, build trusting relationships, and are outgoing. You work systematically, take responsibility for your assignment, and thrive in an operation characterized by development and flexibility.

You have an interest in development and want to contribute to a broad and accessible culture school.
