ABOUT THE JOB

We are now looking for an English teacher for Finnbacksskolan.

Finnbacksskolan is a secondary school with approximately 420 students. We have 5-6 parallel classes and four working teams, one for each grade and one for our resource school. The working teams meet regularly for team meetings, professional development, and student health meetings. Here, teachers have the opportunity to meet regularly by subject in sector meetings, and we conduct joint workplace meetings every month. We collaborate with the school's student health to ensure that our students feel well and safe in school. Together, we build for the future through collaboration, education, and new technology.

The position involves teaching English and other usual tasks associated with the teaching profession. In addition to teaching and the tasks related to it, you will share mentorship for a class with a colleague and contribute to the fun and challenging work of working with teenagers.

You will be part of a working team for consultation and planning regarding your mentor class and in a sector where collaboration is key to structuring the teaching in your subjects. You will document students' development in our communication tool Infomentor and communicate tasks and other information to students via Teams.

Since the autumn of 2024, we have been working with a schedule model called subject weeks. This model involves cohesive and concentrated work sessions, with one theoretical subject per week. Subject weeks allow for different working methods, facilitate study visits, and reduce fragmentation of time for students and teachers. The hope is that the model will benefit all students and harness their desire to learn. The schedule includes practical-aesthetic subjects and language choices every week. This working method places higher demands on the teacher regarding variation, but at the same time gives a lot back, especially in the relationship with students. Within the subject, teachers are expected to have close collegial collaboration where they plan and structure the teaching together. During some concentrated weeks, we work thematically with, among other things, the school's guiding principles; together, health, and future.

Do you want to develop and build Finnbacksskolan further with us? Do you enjoy working with teenagers as we do? Do you consider mentorship important and have a good ability to build relationships? Do you find subject weeks exciting and challenging? Then Finnbacksskolan is the right school for you!

We work with language and knowledge-developing methods, so experience and education in this area are meritorious. If you have not previously worked with language and knowledge-developing methods, we offer internal training in the area.
