Vacant job

Stockholm – our capital city full of 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 differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Welcome to us

Askebyskolan is a preschool class to year 6 school (F–6) with approximately 350 students, including adapted primary school (approx. 35 students), a local special education group for years F–3, and approximately 70 staff members. The school is located in Rinkeby and has functional premises, just five minutes from the subway station. The school is in a development phase where the focus is on language-developing approaches, leadership and stimulation, as well as aesthetic learning processes. Our common holistic idea is aesthetic learning processes, and we strongly believe in the importance of aesthetics for deep knowledge and whole human beings – the student's access to all languages and modes of expression.

We are proud of our wonderful school and are now looking for a certified special needs teacher with a specialization in language, reading, and writing development or mathematics, preferably with a few years of professional experience.
