Job Responsibilities

As a Vicariance Coordinator, you are responsible for coordinating the school's substitute teacher management and ensuring that operations function when regular staff are absent. You are a central figure in the school's daily work and have many contact points with staff, school leadership, and substitutes.

The position is a combination of coordination and work within the operations. When needs arise, you work yourself as a substitute teacher in the school or at the after-school care.

• Coordinate the school's daily substitute teacher management
• Receive and administer absence notifications
• Book and appoint substitutes for short- and long-term absences
• Plan staffing based on the needs of the operations
• Maintain ongoing contact with staff, substitutes, and school leadership
• Contribute to creating continuity and good conditions for teaching and after-school activities
• Work as a substitute teacher in school and after-school care when needed

With us, you will have a varied, independent, and meaningful job where you make a difference every day. You become an important part of the school's administration while working closely with students and staff in the operations. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

Qualifications and Merits

We are looking for you who have:

• Experience working in schools or other pedagogical activities

It is an advantage if you have experience with:

• Work in compulsory school grades F-9
• Staff planning or coordination assignments
• Scheduling or personnel administration
• Work in after-school care
• School administrative systems

It is important that you have experience working in schools and a good understanding of the daily life of a school. You need to be structured and have the ability to create order even when conditions change quickly. You have good foresight and can plan both short-term and long-term. You are flexible and enjoy solving problems as they arise, have strategic thinking, and the ability to see the big picture. You are self-reliant and take responsibility for your assignment, have good cooperation skills, and enjoy working with many different people. Naturally, you have a professional and service-oriented approach.

The selection process is ongoing, so please submit your application today!
