Are you the teacher who is passionate about the important role of after-school activities and wants to take a step into a team leadership function? Welcome to Ekängens Schools, where you'll work right in nature with your own school forest as your nearest neighbor. Here, we prioritize your collegial learning to create security and high goal achievement for all students together. Your Responsibilities As an after-school teacher, your starting point is to work with planning, teaching, evaluation, and values-based work based on the curriculum. The work is carried out both independently and in collaboration with colleagues. Your position also includes a 10% team leadership assignment. As an after-school teacher, you see the student's entire school day as important and therefore collaborate with both guardians and colleagues around the student.

To promote student learning and the development of yourself and the organization, you leverage the experiences and knowledge of different professionals.
