About the Workplace

Do you want to develop our after-school center and school environment together with colleagues so that all students are given the prerequisites for success? Then this is a mission for you!

Forshällaskolan is located in the countryside, approximately one mile south of Uddevalla. The school is a grades F–6 school with approximately 420 students distributed across 20 classes in the autumn term of 2026. We have four after-school center departments at the school, with 220 enrolled children. The number of pedagogical staff at the school is approximately 50. In addition to the pedagogical staff, there is a student health team consisting of the principal, deputy principal, counselor, special needs educator, and school nurse.

Responsibilities

As a teacher for the after-school center, you plan and implement activities according to the curriculum, always with a focus on meeting both individual and group needs. You work closely with colleagues in an inclusive and supportive team where collaboration, creativity, and continuous development are a natural part of everyday life.

You will become part of the team in our joint work to:

• create a safe, stimulating, and inclusive learning environment
• adapt activities at the after-school center so that all students have the best possible prerequisites for success
• strengthen students' sense of responsibility, creativity, and social skills
• contribute to the long-term development of the after-school center through participation and innovative thinking

We offer you:

• a work climate characterized by joy, community, and great engagement
• collegial learning and room for your own ideas
• a school where we believe in every student's ability to succeed and grow
• the opportunity to influence – both in after-school activities and in the school's development

Who We Are Looking For

We believe you are a confident and reflective educator who is accustomed to leading student groups at the after-school center and in social interaction. You have good self-insight, exude calmness and clarity, and have the ability to meet each student at their level. We place great emphasis on your personal qualities – you are flexible, responsible, and show a professional attitude in meetings with students, colleagues, and guardians.

You have a good balance between structure and creativity, view collegial learning as a natural part of everyday life, and are happy to share both ideas and energy.

• Licensed teacher with a focus on after-school centers
