Who are we looking for?

We are looking for 1–3 full-time substitute teachers ("husvikarier") for the upcoming school year. The substitutes will have fixed-term employment during the school year. The positions are 100% full-time, and as a substitute, you will work with us every day. Working hours are approximately 08:00–16:30. Working hours may change depending on needs. The role involves substituting wherever needed in our operations, both in the school and in the after-school center.

We are looking for you who are curious, open, and positive, and who interact well with both students and colleagues. You find it easy to collaborate and build good relationships with students, guardians, and colleagues. We highly value qualities such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. It is natural for you to be a clear leader with a big heart, and we will place great importance on your personal suitability.

As a substitute teacher, you will teach all subjects from preschool class to grade 9 when the regular teacher is absent. Therefore, it is important that you can follow instructions carefully, are punctual, and respond to emails. The role also requires proficiency in the Swedish language, both spoken and written, as well as good mathematical skills. Since good attendance is crucial for the position, we consider it an advantage if you have a reference that can verify your good attendance from a previous workplace.

It is also an advantage if you have a teaching degree or are currently studying to become a teacher. If you have previous experience as a substitute teacher and have taught before, as well as experience leading group activities, we see this as a major plus. This could include experience in after-school activities, camp schools, summer camps, sports clubs, the scouts, or other community organizations.

For newly graduated teachers, this is a great opportunity to gain experience!
