English Teacher for grade 7-9

Internationella Engelska Skolan is the largest free school organization in Sweden, with thirty-two schools across the country. The school is bilingual with instructions in both Swedish and English.

We are now looking for an licensed teacher qualified to teach English in grades 7-9 to join our team in January 2017.
Mentoring for 16 students is included in the position.

We are looking for a motivated team player who is positive and cooperative. In addition to teaching meaningful and enjoyable lessons, all staff are expected to be well organised, take pride in their mentorship and other school duties and be good role models for our students. Teaching will be in English. You will follow the Swedish national curriculum so an understanding of Swedish is valuable although not required.

Here is the opportunity to work in an international and stimulating environment where dedication, professionalism and the English language is the common denominator. The academic expectations are high and we attempt to create a quiet environment where conditions for teaching and learning are good.

More information about our school can be found on www.engelska.se.

We look forward to your application and ask you to attach your teacher certification to your application.

A background check from the police register is a requirement for work in a school and such control will be made in connection with your employment.

Interviews will be ongoing.
