Internationella Engelska Skolan in Uppsala is a Swedish elementary school, grades 4 to 9. We are a bilingual school (Swedish and English) and about half of our excellent teachers and staff come from abroad, lending the school a strong international profile.

For the academic year 2020/21 we seek a qualified French teacher in grade 6 to 9 to cover a parental leave. You are driven by the achievements of your students and colleagues and you have a collaborating mindset to further your own success in an exceptional school. You know that the social environment is fundamental for student learning and therefore it is self-evident for you to work with your colleagues to ensure a calm, safe and secure work environment. You are a teacher who believes in students' individual ability to succeed in their studies. You help them through self-awareness in their learning processes so that they can see their own progress as a foundation for their self-confidence, both socially and academically.

You want to work in a well-organized school where you have the opportunity to teach and to be a trusted mentor to your students. You as a teacher will have support from our student development- and student health teams as well as from our academic organization, which all give you the conditions to carry out your work with joy. We are looking for a committed colleague in our continuing journey towards excellence.
