After School Care Teacher at Rickarum School

About the Job

Do you dream of a workplace in the middle of nature, where an educational non-profit association, together with dedicated staff, works for every child's development and safety? Rickarum School and Preschool are located in a small community where many parents and villagers are passionate about the operations and contribute to the community and the creative learning environment.

Nature is our primary pedagogical room. It gives children and staff the opportunity to use the surroundings with forests, lakes, and meadows for creative learning and a healthy work environment.

With approximately 50 children in the preschool and 50 students in the school, everyone knows each other, and we can work in an age-integrated and flexible way that promotes every child's development. Staff members in different parts of the operation work together to create learning based on care, competence, and heart. Together, the staff consists of 24 people. We place great emphasis on a work environment where staff, students, and children feel joy in coming to the preschool and school in the morning.

Does Rickarum sound remote? Not at all – the school is located 2.5 miles from Kristianstad and Hässleholm, and in less than an hour, you are in Malmö or Lund. A hidden gem in a vibrant countryside with short distances to everything.
