Swedish/SVA Teacher Needed

About Our School

IES Växjö began in August 2022, and is located in the Teleborg area of Växjö. We are currently looking to employ a full-time Swedish/SVA teacher, and as a brand new school we have a state of the art building and can provide the best learning resources available to teachers and students.

Our school has grown a lot since we began and when full, we will have approximately 600 students. 

We are looking for a creative, passionate and committed teacher that will work closely with Swedish teachers to provide a first class learning experience for our SVA/Swedish students. Ideally, you will be licensed to teach SVA and Swedish, but we welcome applications from teachers with other Lärare legitimation subjects too.

In the position, you will teach smaller groups of students in tandem with their classmates to support them in their learning of Swedish and SVA. There will be other teaching responsibilities included too, most likely working with the Student Care Team. You'll be needed to work mostly in years 4 - 8 but there may be times when you support in primary too.  

As a teacher, you will also have mentor responsibilities and work closely with a mentor partner. You will be expected to plan, deliver lessons and assess students progress and work closely with the Swedish department to ensure collaborative teaching and learning takes place. You will report to the Head of Swedish and join a team of enthusiastic, hardworking and committed professionals.

If you feel that you can contribute to our school and become part of a truly wonderful team, please get in touch - we'd love to hear from you.
