About Bladins International School of Malmö

BISM is an IB Continuum School in central Malmö, offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) to approximately 360 students from diverse nationalities and cultures.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing and managing both school libraries and their print and digital collections

• Building positive relationships with students, colleagues and families and engaging with the wider BISM community

• Contributing to school development and a welcoming library environment
