Vallaskolan is centrally located in Sollefteå. The school has approximately 500 students divided into two principal areas; grades 4-9 and adapted primary school. For the next school year, there will be 22 classes in the primary school. The school management consists of one principal and two assistant principals, who also teach as part of their roles. There are about 37 teaching positions, including special education teachers and teachers in a special education group (Studio) and the preparatory activities for newly arrived students (Language Studio). Additionally, there are some student hosts and resource persons. In administration, student health, library, IT, and janitorial services, several other individuals are also employed. Three of the teachers are lead teachers. The lead teachers have an overarching assignment at the municipal level. Furthermore, at the principal's request, they also lead the development work at the school. The competence of the staff is highly valued by the school management, and there are good opportunities for development within the organization.

The operations are organized into grade working teams. Close collaboration within the teaching teams and towards students facilitates the promotion and preventive student health work, joint assessments, interdisciplinary work, and other schedule-breaking activities. As a teacher, you will also be part of subject teams with others teaching the same subject. In the subject team, students' work is jointly assessed, common planning is created, and student results and evaluations are analyzed together. The school also has a program for newly arrived students integrated with a special teaching environment.

Sollefteå Municipality has made significant progress in digitalization. All students have access to a Chromebook, and we extensively use Google’s educational services in teaching. We also have access to digital teaching materials in most subjects, all classrooms are equipped with projectors, and all teachers have their own Chromebook. Using technology as a tool to promote learning and goal fulfillment is a given for the school.

The unit has a well-developed student health service with special education teachers, teachers from the Studio, two counselors, two school nurses, a career counselor, and access to a school psychologist on a consultative basis. The school has well-developed strategies in the promotion and preventive student health work, in which student health is included in the working teams' EHM (Student Health Meetings). The structure of the combined competence contributes to strengthening students in their development both academically and socially. There is always an IT technician on site, and the school library is well-equipped with staffing every day of the week.

We are now looking for someone who wants to work at a school that leads rather than follows development, who wants to be part of a collegial learning environment, and who wants to contribute their expertise to the school's continued development.
