Vacant job

Åva Gymnasium offers upper secondary education within university-preparatory and vocational programs, International Baccalaureate (IB), and introductory programs. Through high-quality teaching and dedicated, skilled teachers, every student is given the prerequisites to develop deep subject knowledge and a stable foundation for further studies, professional life, and active civic participation.

Åva combines breadth and excellence. Here, students with different backgrounds, diverse interests, and individual future dreams meet; it is precisely this diversity that enriches our school. Our starting point is that every student can, and should, be challenged and supported to reach as far as possible.

Through international collaborations, exchanges, and contacts with universities, working life, and organizations, students are given the opportunity to broaden their horizons and understand their role in a European and global context. Today, Åva Gymnasium is a school that participates in Erasmus projects with other schools in Europe, and we collaborate digitally with other schools through eTwinning.

An important part of preparing students for the future is raising awareness about technological development and sustainability issues. As an employee at Åva, educators receive unique support in this work, as the school is both a certified EPAS school and a UN school.

We are keen that every employee feels joy in their work. Through a professional culture where teaching is discussed and developed together, teachers are given the opportunity to grow in their roles and contribute to the school's continued development. All new employees participate in an induction program during their first year, and newly graduated teachers are assigned a mentor.

We want you, the applicant for this position, to be a qualified upper secondary school teacher in History and Social Studies. You will teach these subjects according to the GY25 curriculum in English to students in year 1 of the IB program.

You have the ability to plan and organize both your own and your students' work in an effective manner, and you create an stimulating and trusting classroom climate where all students have a voice. As a person, you have a good ability to inspire, engage, and challenge students in their learning based on their knowledge level. You use digital tools as a natural part of your teaching. You value close collaboration with colleagues and strive to always develop your teaching by contributing to collegial learning.
