Teacher for After-School Center at Emanuel School, Sjöbo

Our 1,300 employees play a vital role in the development and well-being of Sjöbo. We continuously strive to become a more attractive and equitable employer, offering our employees a wide range of wellness benefits, smoke-free working hours, and flexible schedules where possible.

Emanuel School is a primary school (grades F-6) located in central Sjöbo with approximately 350 students. Here, we work together – students, guardians, and professionals – to create a safe, inclusive, and developmental environment where all students have the opportunity to succeed.

We view the after-school center as a central part of the students' education and development. Through teaching, play, movement, and meaningful contexts, students are given the opportunity to develop social competence, creativity, independence, and confidence in their own abilities. At our school, the after-school center is not an activity alongside the school but an important part of the students' entire day.

Linguistically developing approaches, value-based work, and preventive student health work permeate the operations. Through collaboration, analysis, and reflection, we continuously develop our teaching.

"I see the after-school center as one of the school's most important arenas for student development. As a teacher in the after-school center, you have the opportunity to make a difference every day by building relationships, sparking curiosity, and strengthening students' self-confidence and hope for the future. At Emanuel School, we are developing an after-school center where teaching, quality, and student influence are at the center. We are looking for you who want to make a difference and shape the future after-school center together with us."
– Emma Walters, Principal
