Workplace Description

Do you want to help shape the school of the future? Then apply to Vega School!

In August 2023, Vega School opened – a unique project where the culture and leisure administration and the education administration's staff jointly create opportunities for broader learning.

Vega School is located in Vegastaden; a newly built area just south of Stockholm with a commuter train station right next to the school. The building itself is one of the hottest and most monitored construction projects in Stockholm, and in addition to activities for preschool to grade 9, it also has a full-size sports hall, a public library, a youth center, a culture school, an orchestra hall, and a café. The school's premises are spacious, modernly furnished, and contain everything needed for high-quality teaching. The school accommodates approximately 750 students in grades F-9, after-school care, and an adapted primary school. During the day, our premises are used by the school. After school hours, the culture school, associations, private individuals, and other actors operate in the premises. Parts of the high school premises are also prepared for overnight stays during camps and tournaments.

Does everything you have read so far sound inspiring and exciting? Then you are the one we are looking for!

Welcome to a school where we create the future together!

Job Description

We are looking for someone who enjoys and has experience teaching in the lower grades. You are a clear leader and confident in your teaching role. You are a creative, flexible, and engaged teacher who wants to develop teaching and works to ensure that every student reaches as far as possible in their knowledge and personal development. You care about creating a safe learning environment based on mutual respect and understand the importance of teaching being creative and stimulating while also being grounded in research and proven methods. You are unpretentious and curious and share your knowledge with others.

Your responsibilities include planning, implementing, evaluating, and being responsible for the educational work based on the school's governing documents and the student's needs and interests; both individually and together with your colleagues.

Collaboration with colleagues is a key factor and a natural element where collegial learning is fundamental. You understand the importance of teaching being creative and stimulating while also being based on research and proven methods. Since the culture and leisure administration has parts of its operations in the same building, we see it as obvious that you can collaborate with other actors and view the student's goal fulfillment from a holistic perspective, where all parts contribute.

The position involves class teacher and mentor responsibilities in grade 1. You will have close collaboration with after-school care, teachers, and special teachers/special educators. You will also collaborate with guardians, student health, and other school staff to achieve good quality in the operations.

You will be part of the working team in the lower grades and also be part of a working team with teachers from an F-9 perspective, where you are part of the collegial work on the development of the pedagogical activities at the school.

All of the school's educators are well aware of the importance of having an F-9 perspective, which we also expect from you. Another part of the common thread is our shared structure in and out of the classroom.

Qualifications

You are a licensed teacher with the authority to teach in grades F-3. We prefer that you have many years of teaching experience and as broad a qualification as possible. It is an advantage if you have experience with language development methods.

At our school, every student should have the opportunity to reach the top of their potential. Therefore, we want you to:

• Be clear, structured, and organized.
• Have good didactic and pedagogical ability to lead and organize for a good learning environment.
• Have high expectations of the students and their ability to develop.
• Be solution-focused and contribute to a good atmosphere and working environment.
• Be eager to develop and grow in your profession.
• Stimulate students' curiosity and desire to learn.
• Be attentive to each student's conditions and needs.
• Enjoy interdisciplinary collaboration.
• Have high digital maturity, as our classrooms are equipped with the latest technology. You see Unikum, Teams, and Google Classroom as natural tools in your work and communication.

The position is a permanent employment with a 6-month probationary period.

In the recruitment process, great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability and good references. We strive for equality and diversity in our workplace.

• Wellness allowance
• Access to a gym in the municipal building
