Buaskolan is located in the scenic Väröhalvön, about 20 km north of Varberg town. The school gathers approximately 190 students from grades F-6, and it has a mixed-age after-school program with about 90 enrolled students.

Our educators work collaboratively every week on teaching development in various areas to adjust our teaching to ensure it benefits our students as much as possible. Our goal is to be a school accessible to all students, where they can develop as far as possible towards both social and academic goals. Safety and well-being are important focuses that always guide the planning of all activities. In our facilities, children and young people have the opportunity to develop alongside their peers while being surrounded by students from preschool to grade 6. Buaskolan has a well-developed learning environment with easy access to outdoor activities, including a multi-arena, playgrounds, forests, and beaches. The after-school facilities also inspire learning and play.

The operations of our after-school program are compensatory, where teaching is based on play and the students' needs for learning and stimulation.

As staff at the school, you are also an integral part of creating a safe environment for all students. We see it as a given that you contribute to a good working environment by being helpful to colleagues, solution-focused, and flexible in your thinking.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Together with colleagues at the school, you will plan and implement activities for the after-school program as well as teaching within the school's framework. It is a plus if you have sports in your certification or experience teaching physical education, as we have a need for that. We strive to have qualified staff in all teaching, both in the after-school program and in preschool and primary school.

Motivating and inspiring students is your greatest drive. Together with your colleagues, you will shape a relational leadership where the quality of teaching is the focus. We create the best possible meeting for learning.

As a teacher in the after-school program with us in Varberg Municipality, you have a central role in creating a safe, developing, and motivating environment for the students. By planning, implementing, and following up on your varied teaching, you provide students with the opportunity to develop both socially and academically. You work to strengthen their creativity, curiosity, and self-esteem through play, creativity, and movement.

Together with your colleagues, you will plan and follow up on the after-school program based on your choices of pedagogical and didactic strategies and methods, tailored to the students' needs and conditions. You meet each student in their knowledge progression and contribute to developing learning environments that encourage students' learning, participation, and influence.

Professional development based on the needs of the operation is a given for us, as is an organization for planning and evaluating teaching. We believe in you and expect you to see your assignment as an opportunity for personal and professional growth – an important and challenging role where you take responsibility for being a good role model and feel real pride in your work.

As an employee in Varberg Municipality, you also have access to benefits such as discounted commuter tickets, wellness grants, employee associations, and the opportunity for a benefit bicycle.

You thrive in collaboration with colleagues and actively contribute to developing the operation by planning and following up on teaching together. You have a good structure in your work and can adapt teaching based on students' needs and the school's goals.
