Vacant job

Jönköping Municipality is a major employer with hundreds of different professional roles. We are growing in line with the municipality's development, as the number of residents, housing units, and services increases. We are always looking for new skills—colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences, united by the common drive to create a better municipality to visit, live, work, and reside in.

Your new job

We are now looking for a German teacher for Djupadalsskolan. The position is initially at 20%, scheduled for Wednesday and Friday mornings.

We offer a unique opportunity to help shape a completely new school from the ground up, where your ideas and expertise can truly influence the direction of progress. Here, you will encounter a creative and future-oriented work environment that encourages development, curiosity, and innovation. You will become part of a operation characterized by close and engaged collaboration with leadership that is passionate about creating the best conditions for both students and staff.

Welcome to us

Djupadalsskolan is a newly built school for grades 7–9, starting in the autumn term of 2026 with five classes in grade 7.

At Djupadal, we want to be a school where curiosity and knowledge grow, where the joy of learning takes center stage every day. A place where students' ideas, drive, and creativity are met with teachers' competence, engagement, and high expectations.

Here, students' needs, strengths, and potential are always at the center. We believe in every student's ability to develop and strive to create teaching and learning environments that inspire, challenge, and give courage to try new things.

Our vision is a safe, creative, and inclusive school where everyone feels a sense of belonging and dares to take the next step in their learning. A school where collaboration, curiosity, and hope for the future permeate everyday life—and where every student gets the opportunity to grow, discover their potential, and shape their future.
