Skellefteå kommun
Imagine a workday where children's curiosity meets your creativity. As a preschool teacher in Skellefteå municipality, you will be both a leader and a co-explorer – an adult who shows the way while sharing in the joy of children's discoveries. Together with dedicated colleagues, you will create a safe, fun, and educational environment that lays the foundation for future learning.
As a preschool teacher in Skellefteå municipality, you will help shape the very first part of children's educational journey. You are responsible for creating a safe, inspiring, and developmental environment where play and learning go hand in hand.
We are looking for someone who wants to work closely with children and contribute to their development every day. You are a qualified preschool teacher with certification, but even if you are awaiting your certification, you are welcome to apply if you can provide a receipt from the Swedish National Agency for Education. Since you will work closely with children, you will need to submit a current extract from the criminal records register.
We believe you thrive in an environment where play and learning go hand in hand. You enjoy collaborating with colleagues and guardians, and the children see you as a reliable and attentive adult who observes, listens, and encourages. Your presence and engagement make a difference in both small and significant moments.
As the job involves documentation and communication using digital tools, it is important that you have basic IT skills. Good communication skills in Swedish, both spoken and written, are also required, along with the ability to adapt your language to various situations and target groups. In some areas, a B driver's license is also required.
Experience working in preschool, particularly with planning and teaching according to the curriculum, is an advantage. If you speak Finnish or Sami, we see that as an asset, and proficiency in sign language is also valuable in our operations.
Skellefteå is a municipality in strong development, and our community transformation is clearly reflected in preschools as well. With around 40 preschools, we work together to give each child a safe and educational start in life.
We are working long-term to develop the preschool system and ensure children's right to education – always from an equality perspective. This means you will be part of an organization where we learn from each other, share experiences, and drive development together. Here, you will work in teams where collaboration and collegial learning are central. You can expect to both give and receive support in your daily work, and we invest in continuous professional development to help you grow in your role.
