We are looking for two full-time S2 teachers for the period from August 3, 2026, to June 23, 2027, at Alma Adult Education.

Alma Adult Education is a bilingual institution offering diverse opportunities for personal development at various stages of life.

Proficiency in Finnish, both spoken and written, is required (language certificate or Finnish as the language of instruction). Other language skills are considered an advantage. Experience in teaching immigrants and guidance is valued. Knowledge of society, the Finnish education system, and working life is a plus. We offer interesting and creative work in a community where skills are diverse, and a pleasant atmosphere is created through abundant opportunities, idea exchange, and genuine encounters.
