Do you want to work in an international environment with a clear pedagogical vision?

International English School has made a significant difference for our students for 30 years. We are convinced that it is thanks to our clear ethos of dedicated staff that our schools have an environment where everyone works towards common goals. We have a strong culture built on proven routines. Here, teachers can focus on teaching and learning. The students are at the center of everything we do; all students are your students.

At International English School, we are a team pulling in the same direction. To enjoy working with us, you should share our conviction regarding the importance of clear values, collegial learning, and common routines and approaches.

IES is proud of its employees and has developed a method to create a calm and secure school environment. This allows our teachers more time to share their knowledge, both with students and colleagues. Your own teaching takes place in Swedish, but between colleagues, we speak English.

We are now looking for a qualified German teacher – 60% position starting from Autumn Term 2026. This can potentially be combined with another subject if you have additional qualifications, e.g., Mathematics.
