Vacant job

Do you want a varied role where you make a real difference in the daily life of a school? As a school caretaker at Nannaskolan, you will have a broad assignment where you combine building management, technology, and interaction with students - and help enable everything from daily operations to concerts and performances in the school's auditorium. We look forward to your application!

Nannaskolan is a municipal upper secondary school in central Uppsala with approximately 450 students in grades 7-9. The school has a clear aesthetic profile where traditional teaching is combined with music, dance, drama, art, and design. The aesthetic work permeates the activities, and concerts, exhibitions, and stage activities are a natural part of everyday life.

The school has its own auditorium that is used frequently, which places demands on a well-functioning physical environment and technical equipment. Here, the caretaker's role plays an important function to ensure that operations run smoothly.

Nannaskolan is characterized by a creative, open, and inclusive culture where students are encouraged to develop based on their prerequisites. Collaboration, well-being, and responsibility are central parts of the working approach, and the staff work closely together to create a safe environment.

The school is housed in a building designed by Gunnar Leche from the 1940s, with bright premises that have been renovated for today's needs while preserving the original character. The schoolyard is central and used actively during the school day.

An important part of the operations is the school restaurant, Nanna Bistro, where food is cooked from scratch by trained chefs. The restaurant has received national attention, including being named Sweden's best school restaurant, and has been awarded the highest honor in the competition Sweden's Public Meals. The environment is designed to resemble a restaurant with a focus on quality, well-being, and safety.

As a workplace, Nannaskolan offers a positive and development-oriented environment where employees work close to the operations and contribute to the whole.
