N2 - This article aims to gain knowledge on how gender and profession are accounted for andexpressed in leisure-time teachers’ (LtTs) work in Sweden, with a specific focus on the caringaspects of the profession. Our results show that LtTs take up various positions in navigatingbetween aspects connected to managerialism and external auditing as well as trust and internalvaluation. We argue that the need exists for an expanded understanding of care in order torecognise and reward various gendered actions and activities in teachers’ caring orientation. Thearticle provides knowledge to both researchers and practitioners on gendered nuances of carethat by tradition have been connected to women.
