Vacant job

Do you want to work in an international environment with a clear educational policy? We are looking for an engaged wood and metal crafts teacher for grades 4–9 with teaching experience in these grades. The tasks include standard teacher duties such as planning, teaching, grading, and follow-up.

The wood crafts position is part-time at 40–50% and permanent if you have a teaching license.

At our school, the focus is on learning and a calm environment where both students and staff follow the school's routines and rules. A pleasant atmosphere and a good collaborative climate are key words behind our success and form the basis for creating a red thread that guides and supports our students through their schooling and helps them achieve their goals.

As a person, you are expected to be flexible, a dedicated team player with a positive attitude towards your subject. Creativity and the willingness to do that little extra for your students and colleagues are important qualities. You possess the tools to create a favorable learning environment where your clear leadership and teaching style are keys to your students' success. You can adapt your teaching to reach different students and collaborate with our student health team and special needs educators to include students with special needs. Continuous, clear feedback to students and guardians is a necessity and a natural part of your teaching where you share information about progress and areas for development and improvement.

The language of instruction for crafts is Swedish and/or English, and good knowledge of English is a prerequisite as many in the staff are English-speaking. Crafts are taught in half-classes in a fully equipped craft room.

A teaching license is, of course, desirable, but experience as a wood crafts teacher may also be sufficient to be offered a fixed-term position.

Interviews are conducted continuously, so don't wait to apply. The position starts August 10, 2026.
