Are you our Principal for Internationella Engelska Skolan in Hässleholm?



We seek a dynamic and experienced leader to take on the exciting challenge of leading and developing an IES school!

IES Hässleholm opened in 2015 and offers outstanding bilingual education to around 400 students between grades 4-9, and a fulfilling career opportunity for around 40 employees. 

At Internationella Engelska Skolan we make a difference in the lives of our students. We believe this is due to our clear ethos with engaged and visible leaders creating an environment in which teachers can teach and students learn. Our students and parents choose us because of this:  

- we offer a safe and calm working environment for both students and staff
- we have ambitious academic goals for our students and ourselves and work hard to ensure every child lives up to their potential
- our students learn to command the English language 

From August 2023 there is a plan for the school to expand, opening its doors to students from Förskoleklass to grade 3, becoming an F-9 school with 600 students. There will be high expectations on the principal to continue to develop an excellent school in line with our ethos. The principal will create the organisation required for this change and is a fantastic opportunity to have a real impact. IES takes pride in leadership excellence in a diverse environment. 

Who are you?
