Teachers for the high school in South Greenland, Qaqortoq

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 a high school department. You will primarily teach at GUX Qaqortoq.

The start date will be effective from August 15, 2026, or by further agreement.

As a starting point, this 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 well in a high school where teachers and other staff are very dependent on working together to make everyday life work as best 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:

• Have a degree at the master's level or equivalent level.

• Are loyal to the direction the management sets for the school, as well as to your colleagues and the students.

• Have a positive approach to the students.

• Prefer smaller work communities, where we are very dependent on everyone working together.

• Want to help continue a Greenlandic high school in very beautiful surroundings.

We are interesting to you if you:

• Prefer a high degree of personal freedom under responsibility in your work.

• Want to try something new but hold on to life as a high school teacher.

• Want to work with helpful colleagues.

• Want to live in a scenic place with opportunities for mountain trips, sailing, hunting, and fishing.

If you have a teaching qualification, that is fine; otherwise, you have the opportunity to take a teaching qualification with us.

Are you ready to live in a different culture in a beautiful town 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 vacancy is not something GUX Qaqortoq has influence over.

The application deadline will be August 11, 2026, at 13:00 Greenlandic time, which is 16:00 in Denmark. We reserve the right to process applications continuously.

If there is more you want to know, feel free to contact principal Heidi Rosing via email hr@cak.gl (mailto: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.

Salary and employment conditions

Salary and employment conditions, including the right to travel for joining and leaving and moving expenses according to the applicable agreement/collective agreement for negotiating organizations at the time of commencement.

Housing

Unfurnished staff housing can be assigned for the position.

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