Teachers for the Gymnasium

GUX Qaqortoq is looking for teachers in the following subjects: Danish, Greenlandic & IT.

GUX Qaqortoq is part of Campus Kujalleq, where we have both a vocational education and training (EUD) and a high school department. As a starting point, you will only teach at GUX Qaqortoq.

The appointment will take effect from August 15, 2026, or as otherwise agreed.

As a starting point, it is a permanent position. In certain cases, a fixed-term employment may also be considered, with the possibility of extension.

At GUX, we have good physical facilities. If you are a teacher who thrives in a high school where teachers and other staff are very dependent on working together to make everyday life function as well as possible, you are the one we are looking for.

You can read more about Campus Kujalleq at www.cak.gl and at www.iserasuaat.gl.

The majority of GUX students at Campus Kujalleq live in dormitories. You can expect a close relationship with the students, and there will sometimes be a need for you to take on other minor tasks alongside teaching.

You are interesting to us if you:

• Has a master's degree or equivalent level of education.
• Be loyal to the direction the management sets for the school, as well as to your colleagues and the students.
• Has a recognizing approach to the students.
• Prefer smaller work communities where we are very dependent on everyone pulling together.
• Wants to help continue a Greenlandic high school in very beautiful surroundings.

• Prefers a high degree of personal freedom under responsibility in your work.
• Wants to try something new, but stay in the life of a high school teacher.
• Wants to work with helpful colleagues.
• Wants to live in a scenic location with opportunities for mountain hikes, sailing, hunting, and fishing.

Are you willing to live in a different culture in a beautiful city with close ties to the local community and lots of sweet students? Then you might be the right fit for us.

Normally, you will be accommodated in a vacant housing upon your arrival. The length of the vacant stay is not something GUX Qaqortoq has an influence on.

The application deadline will be August 11, 2026, at 1:00 PM Greenland time, which is 4:00 PM in Denmark. We reserve the right to process applications on an ongoing basis.

If you would like to know more, you are welcome to contact Rector Heidi Rosing by email hr@cak.gl or by phone +299 54 89 64.

PS.: If you live in Denmark, be aware of the time difference.

We look forward to receiving your application.

The staff housing is linked to the employment relationship and must be vacated upon termination of the employment relationship.
