About the company

The Swedish School in London is a non-selective, independent school in South West London. We offer education predominantly taught in Swedish from Preschool to Sixth Form under the Swedish curriculum. We have around 210 motivated and engaged students, and we take pride in our friendly, supportive atmosphere and flat management structure. The school has nearly 50 employees, distributed across two different sites in Barnes and Kew.

We offer you a unique opportunity to teach abroad while following the Swedish curriculum in a warm and inclusive school community where teachers thrive.

Your responsibilities

We are looking for two passionate and skilled teachers in Swedish/Swedish as a second language and English for the older years of compulsory school and at Sixth Form. One of these roles might also be asked to teach Civics. Teachers at the school also mentor a group of students. These full-time positions start on 15 August 2025.

Terms and conditions:
The Swedish School in London sponsors successful candidates for a three-year work visa, covering visa costs for the teacher. Candidates must cover visa costs for any accompanying family members. The school supports candidates outside the UK with a travel and moving allowance and essential guidance on the moving process to the UK.
Any employment starts with a one-school-year probation; if successful, it is followed by two more years of employment for a total of three years of fixed-term employment. An individual salary structure is applied based on experience and qualifications.

Your profile

We seek enthusiastic, student-focused educators with teaching qualifications in relevant subjects and age groups. The ideal candidates are confident and adaptable classroom practitioners with high expectations, capable of effectively engaging, motivating, and challenging pupils. They use formative and summative assessments to support learning and work well as team players, taking the initiative and sharing their expertise. Digital competence is essential; experience with SchoolSoft and Google Classroom is advantageous. Fluency in Swedish is required, along with at least B2-level proficiency in English. While the right to work in the UK is desirable, it is not essential.

Your application

Due to visa requirements, your application must be in English. It should include a cover letter explaining why you are the right candidate and outlining your subject interests, a comprehensive CV with no unexplained gaps, proof of teaching qualifications specifying the subjects covered, and two references from the last five years, including one from a manager.

Please send your application to Deputy Headteacher Anette Elving Ferm at aelvingferm@swedishschool.org.uk with the subject line “Teacher in Swedish or English”.
The application deadline is 27 April 2025, but we will review applications on a rolling basis and may fill the position earlier if the right candidate is found.
