Do you enjoy working with children and youth? We are now seeking substitute teachers for preschool and school. We are looking for you to work in preschool with children ages 1–5 years, as a substitute teacher in grades F–9, or as a support staff member in grades F–6.
Working as a substitute teacher with us means you have the opportunity to control when you can work. You replace regular staff during shorter absences and perform work tasks that are part of the regular operations at the workplace where you work.
In the role of substitute teacher, you need to be confident in yourself and able to adapt to new environments and situations on short notice. Workplaces and work hours may vary, and therefore it is important that you are flexible and have an easy time collaborating with others.
We conduct selection and hold interviews on an ongoing basis – but the need for new substitute teachers varies, which means the process may take different amounts of time.

School – Support Staff
As support staff in school, you work together with the teacher in the classroom.

You support students in their work, contribute to structure, and create security in the instructional situation.
Preschool
In preschool, you are an important part of children's daily lives. You support children in their language and communication development, are available in various situations during the day, and contribute to a safe and caring environment. It is desirable that you are familiar with digital tools, work solution-focused, can handle conflicts in a constructive manner, and have the ability to see and meet children's different needs.

Together, we are Vetlanda Municipality.
