Vacant job

Description

Bräckegymnasiet provides education for students who wish to work in the construction sector and is today one of Sweden's largest construction vocational schools. We offer the national Construction and Facility Management programme with twelve different vocational specializations. Students who have chosen the specialization towards Building Engineering or Architecture can apply directly to technical universities after their vocational graduation or enter the workforce with an apprenticeship book. For students who are not eligible for a national programme, we offer education within the Introduction Programme. All our education is conducted in close collaboration with the industry.

With us, you will find a school that constantly combines theory and practice. Our main idea is that we build professional pride, both for students and staff. Our overarching goal as employees is that our students succeed in their studies and obtain a vocational diploma, which naturally places demands on us as school staff. We apply an inclusive working method where our students should be active participants in their learning, which we consider a prerequisite for their success. Our school has approximately 390 students, over 35 teachers, and a total of around 50 employees.

We are located at Lindholmen in bright, nice premises with proximity to everything. There is also a library on the premises.
