About the job

Your new role

Starting with the 2026/2027 school year on August 1, 2026, we are looking for reinforcement for our St. Leonhard primary school.

Are you looking for a diverse task in the heart of the city? We are looking for a motivated teacher for a primary level with class responsibility. The workload is 26 lessons.

Your place of work: Urban

Look forward to 19 little personalities who are eager to discover the world of letters and numbers with you. Our 1st/2nd grade class is a colorful and warm group looking for a reliable reference person who meets them with clarity and empathy. The children are used to supporting each other – our motto "Zäme uf em Wäg" is already lived daily by the youngest. You will find a creative space that you can significantly shape in this important developmental phase of the children.

A team on equal footing

With us, you work closely connected in a committed, interdisciplinary specialist team. Together with two other primary level teachers and an experienced school special education teacher, you live the motto "Zäme uf em Wäg" every day anew. Expertise is pooled, decisions are made together, and planning is done hand in hand to strengthen each other. Those who come to us find a community characterized by great appreciation and professional trust. We are convinced: only with united forces can we create the best foundation for our children.

Good reasons to work for the City of St.Gallen:

What we offer you

We offer you an environment where a culture of open doors and mutual support is lived. The class size of 19 children allows you intensive and enriching relationship work. We remain flexible: whether you want to work full-time or job share – we will find the model that fits your current life situation. In addition, we appreciate your impulses and offer you space to actively contribute to our school development.

This position is for you if

You have a teaching diploma recognized by the EDK, ideally for the lower level, and a respectful view of people is the foundation of your work. You accompany children with heart, mind, and hand and appreciate professional exchange to jointly pave pedagogical paths within the team. As a solution-oriented personality, you bring calmness and a touch of humor and always keep an overview even on lively days.
