Do you thrive in an environment where you have the opportunity to make a difference, contribute ideas, and make a real impact every day? If so, Vidselskolan might be the right workplace for you.

In the municipality of Älvsbyn, we work together to create the best possible conditions for children’s and students’ learning and development.

About the workplace

 

Vidselskolan is a small and safe K–6 school with just over 30 students and an associated after-school program. The small size creates a close-knit, family-like environment where everyone knows each other and where we have excellent opportunities to meet each student’s individual needs and circumstances.

The school is beautifully situated in Vidsel, with the forest and the Piteälven River as its closest neighbors. Here, nature becomes a natural part of the students’ everyday lives and provides excellent opportunities for learning, physical activity, and experiences year-round.

The school grounds feature a large shared playground, and right next to the school we have access to a sports hall, an ice rink, and a sports field. Together, these elements create an active and varied school environment where the students’ well-being and development are the top priority.

As a staff member at Vidselskolan, you’ll become part of a dedicated team that values collaboration, participation, and professional growth. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute your knowledge and ideas while working closely with students and tracking their progress over time.
