Are you enthusiastic about building a brand new IES school from the very beginning?

We are now recruiting the very best teachers to start a new IES school on Kungsbacka that will open in August 2021.  We are searching for qualified teachers for a range of subjects to help create our fantastic working environment, as well as other members of staff..

We are looking for teachers and other staff who, like us, believe in giving students the opportunity to realise their full potential, whatever their background. You must also be knowledgeable and passionate about your subject. You will have the tools to create a calm, learning environment and differentiate your teaching to inspire all your students.  Furthermore, we are looking for teachers who are energetic, flexible and proactive.  

We require:

- Current teaching license/registration with relevant higher education from outside

of Sweden or Swedish “lärarlegitimation” (TEFL/CELTA are not sufficient)

- Fluency in the English language, (Fluency in Swedish is not a requirement)

Internationella Engelska Skolan Kungsbacka will open in August 2021 and will eventually enroll students in grades F-9.  The first year we will have students in year F-7. It is a school where every student will be seen and where you will have the opportunity to make a difference in their lives. IES Kungsbacka will open with completely refurbished buildings and a brand new school yard.

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. We follow the Swedish

national curriculum.

We are currently recruiting all roles for the school.

Recruitment is ongoing and positions may be filled before the closing date, so apply as soon as possible. Please attach your CV, cover letter and a short film where you tell us about yourself and how you can contribute in building a positive and supportive school environment. 

The school is located in the middle of the new Aranäs Sports Park in Kungsbacka, and is surrounded by the latest and best sports facilities Kungsbacka has to offer. The canal runs by the school and the green parks  and footpaths offer the chance to change pace as soon as you leave the building. The school is a 15 minute walk from the railway/commuter station or 3 minutes by bus. Our goal is to be the best school in Kungsbacka; for our students, for their parents and for our staff. Be part of this team and lead from the front.
