Fors School is part of the Fors/Nordanö principal area, which consists of two schools located in the outskirts of Avesta. The school, situated in the community of Fors but close to nature, currently has about 120 students. It is important that all students feel safe and happy with us, and at our schools we actively work to create good conditions for learning.

We are now looking for an engaged teacher for our after-school program Kluringen. Are you the one we are looking for?

RESPONSIBILITIES

Your tasks consist of pedagogical work in a group of children in the after-school program where you plan, implement, and evaluate the teaching both independently and together with colleagues. In the after-school program, you will help develop the pedagogical work in the student group based on current governing documents.

You will work to support the children's development during different parts of their school day. During the school day, you are responsible for activities during breaks and you are an important adult on the schoolyard. You will also assist in the classroom as a resource or support for individual students. You strive to create an environment where all students can succeed based on their conditions.

Creating and maintaining good relationships with students, colleagues, and guardians is also part of the job.

You will be responsible for opening and closing the after-school program according to the schedule. Currently, the after-school program is open from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM. It is not possible to opt out of openings or closings, as this is part of the job.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who is a licensed teacher for after-school programs or a trained leisure educator. You have a good understanding that people learn in different ways and that everyone has different conditions for this, and you meet the students according to their needs.

You are a flexible educator who understands the importance of seeing the school as a whole. You are aware of the changes that can occur in the daily life of the school. You see opportunities and take initiatives that benefit the students and the organization. Since the tasks often involve active participation in the activities organized, you should be in good physical shape.

You enjoy collaborating with others and care about maintaining good contact with students, colleagues, and guardians. You demonstrate this by listening, communicating, and resolving any conflicts in a constructive manner. For this position, you must be able to express yourself well in Swedish, both verbally and in writing.

As a person, you are secure and stable, and you can work independently when needed. Previous experience working in after-school programs or teaching in primary and middle school is an advantage.

If you have experience working with type 1 diabetes, medication, and carbohydrate counting, that is a plus.

In order to be able to take responsibility for openings and closings, you need to be able to get to the workplace without relying on public transport; therefore, a driver's license and access to a car are required.

If a qualified applicant is not found, another applicant with relevant education and/or experience may be hired for a limited period.
