Special Educators for Borlänge Municipality's Central Student Health

Borlänge Municipality's centrally organized student health is a wonderfully dynamic workplace characterized by quality, collaboration, flexibility, and development. Borlänge is the largest locality in Dalarna with convenient connections to neighboring towns such as Falun, Säter, and Gagnef. Public transport also allows easy access to cities like Hedemora, Ludvika, and Leksand.

The centrally organized student health has the mission to support the development of local child and student health and to strengthen the child and student health perspective. A large part of the work is preventive and health-promoting. The work as a whole is varied and takes place at the organizational, group, and individual levels, in collaboration with school staff, guardians, and other agencies, but of course also transprofessionally within our own operations. Collaboration with other agencies and actors is included as needed.

In the centrally organized student health, school nurses, school doctors, school psychologists, speech therapists (both for primary and preschool), special educators for preschool, as well as a medically responsible nurse and a medical secretary work. The organization is led by a unit manager who will be your immediate supervisor.

We are now expanding with more special educators for preschool, come and be a part of our Team! As a special educator with us, you will be centrally located with your special pedagogical colleagues as well as several of the other categories in the Central Student Health and then work out towards the municipality's various preschools.

Support and collaboration exist in relation to the other professional categories of the central student health, where collaboration, flexibility, and joy at work are key principles for the operations.

Of course, our values attract you!
- I am here for the residents of Borlänge
- I enjoy challenges
- I meet every person with openness
