The tasks are solved in close collaboration with the school's other teachers, management, and other staff, as well as the school's parents.

A job that is challenging in every way, requiring human robustness but also offering the opportunity to develop as a teacher and as a person. You will have a unique opportunity to shape and contribute to the lives and development of the students, the school, and the town.

Criminal and Child Certificate:

The position is covered by the law on the obligation to obtain a criminal and child certificate. According to the law, employment can only begin when the municipality has received a satisfactory criminal and child certificate. We must therefore point out that the start date can only be agreed upon when the municipality has received a child certificate from the national police and a criminal certificate from the police.

The child certificate is obtained by the municipality with the consent of the individual, while the criminal certificate is obtained by the individual from the police.

In the case of collective agreement employment, the probation period is 1 year. For both collective agreement employment and civil servant employment, earned salary seniority is counted after passing the teacher examination. Employment will be as a civil servant or according to the "Collective Agreement between Naalakkersuisut and IMAK for teachers in public schools, etc."

Fixed-term employment:

You will be employed under special fixed-term conditions according to the agreement of February 16, 2007, on employment under special fixed-term conditions.
