Student Assistant

Internationella Engelska Skolan (IES) is a leading independent school group with academic results far above average and a diverse and energetic staff. Teaching is in both Swedish and English, and the hallways are bilingual. The language of meetings and communication amongst the staff is English.


IES is one of Sweden's largest school groups at compulsory school level with 48 schools and around 32,000 students across the country. IES has grown steadily and maintained quality since 1993.


Internationella Engelska Skolan Skellefteå* opened in 2019 and offers outstanding bilingual education to around 500 students between grades F-9, and fulfilling career opportunities for around 80 employees. Soon after, during the spring of 2021, we opened an International School in the same building. Although sharing the same values and staff, this International School follows the Cambridge Assessment International Education’s curriculum and is completely taught in English, for children within the ages of 5-16.

Being part of IES means that you will be part of a truly international environment on a daily basis. We have both teachers and students from all corners of the world. Here you will be met daily by driven and committed staff who work together to ensure that we continue to deliver high academic results. For us, collaboration is key. IES Skellefteå is a bilingual school where we work together, staff and students, in an international environment. 

At IES Skellefteå we are a team that pulls in the same direction. To enjoy working with us, you should share our belief in the importance of clear values, collegial learning and common routines and approaches. Job description
