You've been appointed as an educator in Saxony-Anhalt.
In the heart of Saxony-Anhalt, Magdeburg is welcoming committed educators to actively shape the educational landscape. The Ministry of Education of the State of Saxony-Anhalt has issued a teaching positions advertisement, highlighting opportunities for secondary school and grammar school teachers, including roles for career changers and retired teachers willing to work part-time or temporarily [1].
Key Details
The advertisement includes 228 positions at general schools and 2 at vocational schools. The deadline for applications for general schools is September 30, 2025, while the deadline for vocational schools is August 31 [2]. Particularly in demand are teachers who qualify for G-positions, where a bonus can be paid due to special demand situations [5].
School Types
Regular secondary schools and Gymnasien are hiring. Special ecological schools (Öko-Schulen) have dedicated teaching projects. Support education for children of traveling professionals is also offered in the surrounding region but coordinated through Magdeburg-based administration [1].
Application Process
Interested candidates should contact the respective school authority or their school management to discuss the position. For certain specialized postings (e.g., Öko-Schulen or support roles), contact your school subject coordinator or the Landesschulamt (State School Office) [1]. Recognition of foreign teaching qualifications must be processed via the Landesschulamt Sachsen-Anhalt [1].
Where to Apply
The online portal matorix is the only means to apply for the teaching positions [6]. Job listings for teaching jobs in Magdeburg are also regularly posted on general employment platforms like Indeed, which currently lists multiple openings, reflecting ongoing recruitment [3].
Deadlines
Specific application deadlines vary by position. While some advertised academic posts such as professorships have deadlines in mid-August or earlier in the year, standard teacher vacancies do not have a fixed universal deadline—applicants should inquire promptly [3][4].
Emphasis on Quality Education
Education Minister Jan Riedel emphasizes the need for passionate and competent teachers to help shape education in Saxony-Anhalt. The state is open to lateral entry for committed educators who wish to contribute to the development of the educational landscape in the region [4].
