About this vacancy

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 Sigtuna might be the perfect place for you!

IES Sigtuna opened its doors in August 2021 with 2 parallel classes from Kindergarten to Year 7, and one class of Year 8. We will continue to grow over the coming years until we have Kindergarten to Year 9. 

We are looking for a stand in/Vikarie teacher from November 2022 - June 2023 (for maternity cover). The position will be as a Junior School English and Maths teacher (Year 4 & 6 English and Year 4 Maths).  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. Maths is also taught in English.

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!
