Vacant job

Huddinge is a growing municipality in Stockholm with proximity to both the city and nature. As an employee with us, you are an important community builder. Together we create a sustainable society for everyone who lives, visits, and works in Huddinge.

The Department of Children and Education works on behalf of the preschool committee and the primary school committee. The department is responsible for preschool activities, school-age childcare, primary school, and adapted primary school. Our most important mission is to give all children and students in Huddinge the opportunity to develop to their full potential in a safe educational environment. Here, all our employees play an important role in the implementation.

Vårby schools consist of three schools: Vårbackaskolan F-3, Grindstuskolan F-3, and Vårbyskolan 4-9, with a total of about 550 students. If you want to work at a school where the needs of the students are in focus, have an inclusive mindset, and enjoy challenges, then Vårby schools is the right place for you!

We strive to be a school where all students succeed! Many exciting things are happening here, and the activities are constantly developing. Resources and technology are available; now it is about giving educators the tools to meet the challenges they face every day when they meet students in the classrooms. This is where your competence will play a crucial role.

The students come from all over the world and should be challenged to reach their full potential. The day they leave us, they should be fully equipped to take the next step in life. Some of our students have specific language difficulties, and it is for their sake that we are now looking for you!

If you want to make a difference and are driven by the idea that everyone has the right to succeed, then apply!

We have almost only students with a different mother tongue, and many have specific language difficulties. Based on their needs, we must ensure that they receive the support they are entitled to. Since we believe in differentiated instruction, where students should remain in their social context as much as possible, we need to broaden the staff's competence instead of placing students in a special education group.

You will work together with our school's special educators to analyze our needs, develop measures that make a difference, conduct professional development, and support teachers, the student health team, and school management. We are good at conducting pedagogical investigations but do not have sufficient competence for the educators' measures to be 100% effective. You should be able to develop clear measures based on, for example, speech therapy assessments that benefit the continued learning of the students. You will work closely with school management and be an extended arm in ensuring that teachers and students have the right conditions to succeed.

Formal Competence

• Special education degree and several years of experience in reading and writing learning
• Teaching license for primary school
