Vacant job

Jönköping Municipality is a major employer with hundreds of different professional roles. We are growing in line with the municipality's development, with more residents, more housing, and a wider range of services. We are always looking for new competence – employees with different backgrounds and experiences, united by the common drive to create a better municipality to visit, live, work, and reside in.

Do you enjoy working with children and young people and want to experience different educational activities? Do you want to make a difference where it is needed? Then you might be one of the competent and dedicated employees we are looking for!

Your Competence

We are looking for both those who have a teaching degree and those who do not have a teaching degree but have previously worked in preschools, schools, or leisure centers. You are also welcome to apply if you have other relevant leadership experience with children and young people. Please note that recruitment to preschools is currently not taking place due to reduced demand.

You have good pedagogical skills and a positive attitude towards children and students. You have a flexible approach to working hours, as the work may involve being booked at a school with short notice. High adaptability and sensitivity are prerequisites for quickly settling into new environments and thus contributing to a functioning operation. Furthermore, it is important that you are responsible, proactive, have good teamwork skills, and can set boundaries when necessary. To communicate with students, you need to master the Swedish language well in both speech and writing.

Are you studying to become a preschool, primary, upper secondary school teacher, or leisure center teacher at a university and want to work alongside your studies? Apply for the student teacher position here: https://www.jonkoping.se/ledigt-jobb/884317 (https://www.jonkoping.se/ledigt-jobb/884317). As a student teacher, you can supplement your student budget, gain work experience, and become part of a network for your future career.

Being a casual substitute means

• working mostly on short-term assignments of 1–14 working days per task
• working with children/students at several different workplaces
• replacing permanent staff during absences
• your working hours are agreed upon based on the operation's needs and your preferences
• you have access to a mobile phone and/or computer to actively schedule shifts in our staffing system. You will be contacted via SMS regarding short-term assignments, which means many contacts occur with short notice, often on the same day the need arises

We offer

• an important job where you get to influence children's and students' learning and development
• a flexible job where you decide when you want to be available for work
• a varied job where you get to work at different workplaces, within different operations, and experience different working methods
• the opportunity to potentially get longer-term positions in our operations in the future

Good to know

For the current positions, individual and differentiated salary setting applies, determined in salary dialogue. For information about the municipality's salary intervals, see: https://www.jonkoping.se/jobba-hos-oss/jonkopings-kommun-som-arbetsgivare-/lon-och-lonestatistik (https://www.jonkoping.se/jobba-hos-oss/jonkopings-kommun-som-arbetsgivare-/lon-och-lonestatistik)

To facilitate the recruitment process, we ask you to attach relevant certificates and documents with your application. According to the Education Act, all employees hired within our operations must present a valid extract from the criminal record register. The extract is ordered via the Police Authority under the category work in school or preschool: https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/skola-eller-forskola/ (https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/skola-eller-forskola/)

From March 1, 2026, extended register checks were introduced for persons who are to work with children. This means you will need to submit an additional extract before employment. The second extract is ordered via the Police Authority under the category for work with children in other operations than school and childcare: https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/barn-annan-verksamhet/ (https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/barn-annan-verksamhet/)

The extracts can be ordered digitally via the Police Authority's e-service if you have a digital mailbox. If you prefer a physical extract, we recommend ordering this in connection with submitting your application, as the processing time is normally about two weeks.
