Lerum Municipality is known for its beautiful natural settings with lakes and forests. The municipality has 3,200 employees and 43,000 residents but expects significant growth in the coming years. Lerum is located only 20 minutes from Gothenburg and is currently facing a period of intense development with many exciting projects underway, ranging from schools to housing. The municipality works to ensure good service, high welfare, and a thriving business climate.

Dagens Samhälle has recently named Lerum the winner in the category of large municipalities (2025) - an award based on a comprehensive comparison of 290 Swedish municipalities in areas such as education, healthcare and social care, economy, culture and leisure, attractiveness, business life, and future factors like digitalization and civil preparedness. We are now a Super Municipality!

We are seeking substitute teachers for the autumn term 2026 for Lerum Municipality's primary schools and after-school activities. If you are interested in starting work before summer, that is also an option.
