SPANISH TEACHER (Grade 6-9)

IES Västerås is a school with grades 4 through 9 with 700 students and 70 employees. The school has an international focus where teaching is conducted in both English and Swedish. The school works to put learning and knowledge first. Students learn to take personal responsibility for their own development and work environment and to respect their schoolmates, teachers and themselves.

The position as a classroom (Year 6 to 9) teacher of Spanish (MFL) at IES Västerås involves planning, implementing and evaluating teaching the language in English and possibly Swedish together with both students and colleagues. You will work in collaboration with subject colleagues in a dynamic Modern Languages department as well as the school's academic team, special education and student support.

The position also includes being a mentor for a group of about 16 students. You will work in an international and stimulating environment where commitment, professionalism and the English language are common denominators. Academic expectations are high and we work in a school where good conditions for teaching and learning are established through effective routines and processes.  The language of instruction for teaching and communication within the school is English, meaning you need to be fluent in English in speech and writing.

With us, you as a subject teacher will be part of a highly supportive team with both Swedish and international teachers. The position requires commitment, responsibility and the ability to plan. 

We ask you to attach your CV, cover letter and copies of your teaching qualifications. This should also be supported by a valid police check as a requirement for working in a Swedish school.

Interviews take place on an ongoing basis. For more information, visit us at www.vasteras.engelska.se or send an email to the Assistant Principal Mr Darren Wright (darren.wright.vasteras@engelska.se) to arrange an interview or discussion.
