Application deadline: 31.08.2026

Contact: mannaudur@hafnarfjordur.is

Here you can apply for a temporary supply position in the nursery schools of Hafnarfjörður, as we are regularly looking for staff for a wide variety of supply roles. We can often accommodate requests for a specific working pattern, adjust hours to suit other jobs or studies, or offer part-time work. Please state in your application if you are looking for a specific working pattern or part-time work.

Temporary cover positions are not always advertised, and managers will then search the applicant pool. These are cover positions intended to last for no more than 12 consecutive months, for example due to holiday, sickness, maternity or study leave.

Applications here are only considered for temporary cover positions and will not be taken into account for vacancies that are advertised separately. We therefore encourage you to keep a close eye on all advertised vacancies on the City of Hafnarfjörður website and to apply specifically if a particular position interests you.

Competency requirements:

  • Communication and interoperability
  • Initiative and autonomy in work methods
  • Service-mindedness and reliability
  • Ability to express oneself orally and in writing
  • Ability for personalised solutions
  • Ability to work under pressure and adaptability
  • Good general computer skills
  • Icelandic proficiency at a minimum of level A2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages

The applicant must be 18 years of age. A clean criminal record is required, along with a record of good conduct, such as having an excellent reputation and behaviour both at and outside of work being consistent with the role.

Your application for a locum position is active for six months and will become inactive after that time. You can request to have your application deactivated before then by sending an email to mannaudur@hafnarfjordur.is

Applications for temporary cover positions are not responded to individually, but all applications are treated in confidence.

The application does not apply to summer jobs or employment initiatives.
