Would you like to join a team of international professionals in creating a calm and safe, bilingual learning environment, where teachers can teach and students can learn? Then IES Värmdö might be the perfect place for you!

IES Värmdö opened its doors in August 2021 with 2 parallel classes from Kindergarten to Year 7. We will continue to grow over the coming years until we have Kindergarten to Year 9. We are located in the Charlottendal neighbour of Värmdö, close to Gustavsberg Hamn and Centrum. We are easy to commute to from the city with a bus stop directly outside the school. 

We are now recruiting teachers for the 2022/23 Academic year and are looking for a Junior School English teacher. The Junior School English Teacher position is an exciting and crucial part of our school as this teacher will teach all our Junior Students (Kindergarten - Year 3) in English. Lessons should be planned at the correct level for all ages, with differentiation for students still learning English and extension activities for those students who are either native English speakers or excel in their English skills. 

Main duties also include:

- Monitor progress and effectiveness of classroom practice and evaluate and modify as necessary
- Provide a stimulating classroom environment for effective teaching and learning
- Maintain the positive ethos and core values of the school, both inside and outside the classroom
- Report to parents on the development, progress and attainment of students
- Maintain good order and discipline among students, in accordance with the school’s behaviour policies
- Mentorship of students is included in this position as well.

You should be a qualified teacher who is fluent in English as this will be your main teaching language. It is beneficial if you also speak a degree of Swedish, as many of our younger students are either new to English, or still not fluent. You should also be passionate about providing excellent education in a safe and calm environment for all students. Finally, as the atmosphere of the school is heavily international, you should be excited by the chance and prospects of working in an international environment and community with colleagues from all over the world!
