Lerum Municipality is looking for a teacher for adapted adult education

Lerum Municipality is known for its scenic locations with lakes and forests. The municipality has 3,200 employees and 43,000 residents but expects to grow significantly in the coming years. Lerum is only a 20-minute commute from Gothenburg and is currently facing a development-intensive period with many exciting projects underway, ranging from schools to housing. The municipality works to ensure good service, high welfare, and a thriving business climate.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Currently, 21 students are enrolled in adapted adult education. The students study both in the school’s premises and in the facilities of daily activities. The majority of the students are studying at a basic level. You will work together with a colleague to organize and conduct teaching for the target group. You will work as a teacher with all courses and subject areas within adapted adult education. As a teacher, you are responsible for ensuring that the teaching is based on current curricula and governing documents.

You will create good collaboration with guardians, staff in daily activities, and the students' support accommodations. Additionally, you will participate in the development work at the school. You will have close cooperation with other functions within adult education such as study and career counselors, special educators, and the principal.

You will network with other adult education programs that offer adapted adult education to create a shared understanding of assessment, accessibility, design, and course structure.

QUALIFICATIONS

You are a special education teacher with qualifications for grades 1-9, preferably with a focus on reading and writing development. Experience in adapted schools is an advantage. If you are a primary school teacher or high school teacher with experience from adapted schools, you are also welcome to apply for the position.

We are looking for someone who is engaged and willing to create good pedagogical learning environments for this target group.

You can think outside the box and systematically contribute to increased quality in education and are development-oriented with the ability to see the big picture. You are well acquainted with the governing documents of the organization and analyze, evaluate, and develop the operations based on the students' conditions and needs. You have the ability to individualize and base your work on each student's previous experiences, needs, conditions, and goals. You use formative teaching where ICT is a natural part of the learning process. You thrive in an environment that places high demands on responsibility, independence, flexibility, decisiveness, and social competence.

The position as a teacher in adapted adult education is 50%, but if your qualifications match our needs, the scope of the position can be expanded with tasks within our support activities at Lärcentrum. Lärcentrum offers guidance and mentorship for students in adult education who need extra support to achieve course goals, focusing on reading and writing support as well as adapted support in both basic and upper secondary courses.
