Vacant job

Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone who lives here today and in the future. Now we are looking for you who want to think big, new, and different with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Do you want to make a difference and be part of the development of a sustainable and equitable preschool in Enskede Årsta Vantör? The preschool's education and teaching are permeated by our governing documents with a special focus on the child's best interests in a sustainable world. Our starting point is the meeting with the children, where children's participation and influence become guiding principles in the education. Collegial learning is important to us, where you get the opportunity to contribute your competence based on the assignment. Together, we are building the preschool of the future.

Welcome to us

Area 5, municipal preschools, consists of 8 preschools with unique characteristics for each preschool, while the management and leadership are clear and uniform. The area comprises 590 children and 160 employees. The goal is to offer an equitable preschool for all children of high quality. This means that we have a focus on developing and enabling collegial learning in different forums and networks.

Your role

Working as a preschool teacher offers unique and meaningful opportunities to influence and contribute to children's development and learning. As a preschool teacher, you contribute to a positive and developmental environment, with a good balance of care and learning. You do this by basing your work on the preschool's governing documents, Lpfö 18, the Education Act, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Our pedagogical idea is based on an exploratory approach. Using tools such as observation, documentation, and reflection, we make children's learning processes visible and determine the direction for the next step in the pedagogical work.

As a preschool teacher in Area 5, you will work in a context where we offer different networks to engage and support the children in playful and learning situations.

In your professional role, you are engaged, professional, and proactive. You are also responsible and structured, with a good ability to plan and prioritize your work effectively. Your collaboration skills are excellent, and you are accommodating in your interaction with children, guardians, and colleagues. You handle conflicts in a sensitive and constructive manner. Furthermore, you have good communication skills both orally and in writing. You enjoy leading and motivating others, and you share your experiences and knowledge.

We will place great emphasis on personal qualities.

Your competence and experience

We are looking for you who have:

• A preschool teacher education and a preschool teacher license (or you are awaiting your license).
• Computer proficiency and good knowledge of the Swedish language in speech and writing.

Experience from the profession is an advantage.

You have knowledge and an idea of how you, together with your colleagues, should realize the goals and values of the curriculum. Your focus on the child is clear and is reflected in your approach in everyday life.

You also have knowledge of how to make visible and further develop children's learning processes using pedagogical documentation.

You have a strong drive to keep the development of the pedagogical environment alive.
