In the autumn of 2021, we launched a newly built campus in Bro Mälarstrand, Upplands-Bro Municipality. The school is situated in a beautiful forest setting and features its own sports hall, kitchen, and specialized classrooms. JENSEN Primary School Bro Mälarstrand is a grades 4–9 school with approximately 400 students.

We are now looking for an engaged, driven, and knowledgeable school counselor at 50% employment. If you have a strong passion for student well-being and want to help create a safe, inclusive, and developmental school environment, we want to hear from you. For the right candidate, there are excellent opportunities to expand the role to full-time by also taking responsibility for the school's administration.

JENSEN's educational concept "Training for Reality" permeates all our activities. We are a workplace with a strong corporate culture where order, health profile, formal dress code, and study environment are central concepts. We offer a strong sense of teamwork with employees who thrive and take responsibility for the whole.

Education is the goal. We place great emphasis on developing students' skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. The teaching aims to provide students with good subject knowledge and stimulate their own thinking. For us, it is a given that the teacher is the leader in the classroom. We have high and positive expectations regarding students' study discipline and willingness to learn.

At JENSEN Primary School, we have a strong focus on quality. We are proud of our high results in areas such as employee satisfaction, leadership ratings, and recommendations.
