Description
Hällekis School is a safe and cozy school with great commitment to each student.
The school is located in the picturesque industrial town of Hällekis, beautifully situated on the shores of Lake Vänern on the outskirts of Götene Municipality. With its central location in the community, the school is a natural meeting place for both children and adults. The large schoolyard and proximity to forest and nature provide excellent opportunities for play, movement, and outdoor learning.
Together with the after-school program, we are responsible for students from preschool class to grade 6. Our dedicated team of around 15 employees works together to ensure that each student succeeds based on their individual conditions.
At our small school, each employee's commitment becomes clear and significant – you will develop close relationships with students and have the opportunity to influence and shape instruction together with your team. Here, there are both opportunities and challenges that make the work meaningful, developmental, and full of community.
Job Description
You are a secure, clear, and present relationship builder in the classroom who creates a calm working environment, engagement, and motivation among students. By building trusting relationships, you see each child and meet them with patience, curiosity, and understanding.
You believe in each student's potential and work purposefully and systematically to ensure everyone succeeds based on their conditions – supported by your competence, commitment, and our collective effort.
You take responsibility for instruction, the learning environment, and creating structure and security in daily life. At the same time, you collaborate closely with colleagues and a supportive student health team consisting of special education teachers, school psychologists, counselors, school nurses, and principals. There is always someone to bounce ideas off – we help each other, share experiences, and find solutions together.
For the right person, there is an opportunity for expanded responsibility, such as team leader. However, we cannot guarantee such an assignment upon hiring but view interest and experience in leading colleagues in development work positively.
Qualifications
We are seeking a licensed teacher for grades 1-6.
Additional qualifications in music and/or physical education are meritorious.
We value personal suitability, a clear and relationship-building approach in the classroom, and genuine commitment to students' learning, safety, and well-being.
Terms
The position is permanent, starting 2026-01-07 or by agreement.
Selection and interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis, so please submit your application today. A valid ID (passport or international ID card) must be presented at the interview. A criminal record extract is required before potential employment – we recommend ordering it now.
