**Business Description**
Working in preschool is an exciting, creative, and challenging job in close collaboration with colleagues in a team. You have great opportunities to develop in a creative environment alongside children and colleagues. The children should be provided with challenges, support, and stimulation for their development and learning in cooperation with preschool teachers and childcare workers in the department.

Mandolinen is located in a quiet residential area with the forest just outside the fence and within walking distance to central Gällivare. The preschool has three departments for children aged 1-5 years and collaborates extensively throughout the day in various groups, such as a 5-year group, a 4-year group, and sometimes the youngest children are divided into groups. A year ago, the entire preschool was renovated, and we now have beautiful facilities where new learning environments are being developed.
