Nanortalik School is seeking a qualified teacher to begin on August 1, 2026, or as otherwise agreed.

We are looking for a motivated teacher who can teach Danish, English, and practical arts subjects, as well as serve as a homeroom teacher. However, we are open to all subject combinations, and finding the right person is more important than the specific subjects taught. We work as a team, and we are looking for someone who is passionate about our students, their subjects, and their colleagues.

Nanortallip Atuarfia 

Nanortallip Atuarfia has 175 students and currently employs 18 teachers.

Nanortallip Atuarfia has excellent resources, a strong sense of community, and, not least, is surrounded by fascinating natural scenery that offers great opportunities for field trips. Every year, Nanortallip Atuarfia holds a program on Pilineq (provisions) with its own learning objectives, in which the entire school participates.

You will help with teaching using iPads. We use Clevertouch smart screens for teaching.

Each grade level has its own areas of focus, which are addressed in depth throughout the school year.

We meet regularly in subject teams, grade-level teams, and homeroom teams to plan, coordinate, and support one another.

At Nanortallip Atuarfia, we place great value on working together as a team. We are a small group of teachers with a lot of responsibility, and we prioritize collaboration to support our students both academically and socially.

We expect that: 

  • You are familiar with IMAK’s professional ethos
  • You are a certified teacher 
  • You can build strong relationships and work well with both students and parents.
  • You are skilled at leading classes, have a can-do attitude, are full of ideas, and are willing to work with your future colleagues.
