Home economics teacher, grades 6–9, IES Halmstad

WHERE TEACHERS CAN TEACH AND STUDENTS LEARN

Internationella Engelska Skolan Halmstad is now recruiting a home economics teacher to join our fantastic working environment. The position of teaching home economics for grades 6–9 (ages 12–15) is a full-time, permanent position with a 6-month probationary period, and is to commence on August 10th, 2021.

The school

Internationella Engelska Skolan is a truly international school. We have staff and students from all over the world contributing to a dynamic international atmosphere. Our schools are bilingual with up to 50% of teaching in English and follow the Swedish national curriculum.

IES Halmstad is a popular school for grades 4–9 (ages 10–15) with around 600 students and 70 staff members. It is a school where every student is seen and where you will have the opportunity to make a difference in their lives. The school is located in Halmstad in the Swedish west coast area, with easy access to the town centre, and from here you can easily go to both Gothenburg and Copenhagen in just a few hours.

The position

We are looking for a teacher who, like us, believes in giving students the opportunity to realise their full potential, whatever their background. You must also be passionate about home economics and able to inspire your students. You have the tools to create a calm learning environment and can differentiate your teaching. 

You will be joining an experienced and creative team and will have responsibility for your own planning in home economics. We work closely in our departments with subject development and cross curriculum themes, so we are looking for a creative team player wanting to be part of our collegial sharing approach for quality learning at our school. 

As a home economics teacher you will also act as a mentor for a class, as well as the food coordinator between the school and the food supplier that is responsible for the school lunches.

We require:

- Current teaching license/registration with relevant higher education from outside of Sweden (TEFL/CELTA are not sufficient) or Swedish “lärarlegitimation” 
- Fluency in English and/or Swedish

Why should you apply?

This presents an exciting opportunity for the right candidate interested in working in a stimulating and rewarding international environment. We invite applications from enthusiastic, motivated and certified teachers.
