Vacant job

Stockholm – our capital city filled 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.

The Skarpnäck District Administration offers you a workplace where active employee participation and clear leadership are the foundation for providing Stockholm's residents with the best services. Since we create our work environment together, openness, respect, and responsiveness are important.

Workplace Description

The Northern Skarpnäck preschools consist of thirteen preschools in the district area that collaborate on pedagogical development. This is manifested in joint internal training and shared services that support the pedagogical content.

The preschools have beautiful indoor environments, and we have fantastic nature surrounding our preschools, which gives endless opportunities for children to experience nature, movement, and play. Our preschool environments should attract, inspire, and challenge children in play towards learning and exploration together with other children and staff.

Job Description

We are now looking for substitute childcare assistants (barnskötare) for our preschools in the Northern Skarpnäck preschool area. The position is for the autumn term 2026, with good prospects for extension during the spring term.

Your role as a substitute is to create a rich content for the children together with the preschool teacher and other colleagues, where you as adults are active and exploring alongside the children, both in planned teaching and in the spontaneous moments that arise during the day – both indoors and outdoors.

We hope to find you who have experience of being an active and present person for the children in the preschool, based on planning but also independently, so that they have a secure and educational time at the preschool.

We are looking for someone who understands the importance of good and close collaboration with all colleagues at the preschool, all our guardians, and other close people in the child's environment. You are able to build trust and confidence in a professional manner and have a focus on collaboration and finding solutions together that benefit our children.

Qualifications

The position requires that you master the Swedish language and can communicate in Swedish both orally and in writing. You should be trained as a childcare assistant and feel comfortable working both independently and in a group. We would appreciate experience of working in a Reggio Emilia-inspired manner.

It is important that you, as a childcare assistant, are present and active with the children. You show joy, curiosity, and engagement in the children's exploration, and it is important that you ask the staff what you should do or what they expect of you.

At our preschools, we work to ensure that children succeed and have a good time throughout the day. The prerequisite for this is that we adults always take responsibility for situations that arise. We respond to, meet, and acknowledge the children, showing them that they are important and that their words and actions are taken seriously.

Our families are used to a well-functioning operation, and the trust in our preschools is high, which means you are also expected to greet everyone pleasantly and kindly, for example by introducing yourself and greeting all children and families when you are together outside on the playground. We will take great care of your personal suitability and that your experience matches our needs.
