Teacher with Extended Responsibilities at Prästavångsskolan in Östra Göinge

Östra Göinge Municipality, with just over 13,800 inhabitants, is centrally located in southern Sweden. Here, the open agricultural landscape meets the green forested countryside. In Östra Göinge, life is good with safe housing, good schools, magnificent nature, a broad cultural offering, a vibrant association life, and good communications. Östra Göinge is one of the country's bravest and most innovative municipalities. Here, setbacks have been turned into success, and proud Göinge residents grow up!

One of Östra Göinge's prioritized goals is to give all children and young people a good start in life. Therefore, we invest in our schools and in the development of our students. But to raise the municipality's school results, to be able to offer the education and environment that our children and young people need and are entitled to, we also need the right employees in the right places. That is why we need you!

We are a curious and exciting municipality that challenges old truths, dares to try new paths, and has very good cooperation and trust between politicians and officials. With us, your competence, your thoughts, and ideas are both important and welcome. We invest in you, so that you can invest in what is most valuable to us – our students and their future!

Prästavångsskolan has a total of approximately 360 students. Currently, the school is divided by stage into two school units, but in autumn 2026, the school will be merged into one F-6 school. At the school, we have five after-school care departments; four annual after-school departments for grades F-3 and a joint after-school club for the older students in grades 4-6.

The school has worked health-promoting for many years through health councils, value foundation teams, and student health teams. Our sports initiative in cooperation with RF-SISU Skåne permeates a large part of the school's operations and breaks. In recent years, we have also become a "Reading Owns" school and linked reading with movement with extra reading-promoting initiatives before and during holidays. Reading should be a natural part of both the school and the after-school care.
