Welcome to our excellent team working for the benefit of our students! We are currently seeking a primary school teacher for Sotunki School, who will work in preparatory education, in the Flexible Progression Group (JouJa). JouJa groups do not operate within Sotunki School. The work location for the fall is still to be confirmed but will be decided soon.

JouJa teaching is organized under Sotunki School but the groups are located at a different site, which will be confirmed during the spring. The goal of JouJa education is to enable recently arrived young people to complete basic education flexibly and prepare for further studies. Successful JouJa teaching requires close cooperation with guardians, basic education, Vantaa Adult Education, and Varian. The group has its own student counselor two days a week. Main objectives for students include achieving sufficient Finnish language skills, strengthening skills in other subjects of basic education, and learning the language of instruction. Additionally, the aim is to familiarize students with vocational training environments, TUVA cooperation, and diverse ways to explore further education and employment.
