Vacant job

Vinga Folk High School is a dynamic and expanding folk high school in central Gothenburg. Here, adults of various ages and backgrounds study to obtain subject qualifications in General Course, Swedish for Immigrants (SFI), or to deepen their knowledge in the Bible, theology, and leadership. The school has around 180 participants and 30 staff members, in addition to our SFI operations. We who work at the school have a strong commitment to seeing people grow and develop, and all staff work in various ways to help participants achieve their goals and dreams.

The principal of the school is the Pentecostal Congregations' School and Course Operations (PSK), which also runs the folk high schools Kaggeholm, June, Mariannelund, and Umeå. The contact between the schools is very good, and each school has a principal and administrative staff.

Vinga Folk High School was established in 2018, and in August 2023, the school moved into newly built and operationally adapted premises in Frihamnen. Over the past seven years, the staff, together with participants, have shaped and developed the operations and spirit that prevail at Vinga Folk High School. As a staff member with us, we dare to promise that you will be challenged and developed in an exciting and constantly changing environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Teach adult participants in the general course in Swedish/Swedish as a second language and social studies, possibly in combination with several subjects. The teaching groups consist of 15-25 participants at either high school or basic level. The assignment also includes a mentoring responsibility for one of the groups.

As a teacher, you will be part of a team where there is significant collaboration and joint planning. The teaching team for the General Course is in the process of reshaping the course to work more thematically and subject-integrated. It is essential that you are curious about this working method and that you want to help drive the change together with colleagues.

QUALIFICATIONS

You are:

• curious about getting to know new people and a new context
• a team player who wants to work for the school's overall success through collaboration with other teachers at the school
• eager to help create conditions for individual development and education
• responsible
• interested in developing the learning environment based on the ideas of folk education.

You need to have a teaching degree, preferably with qualifications in Swedish/Swedish as a second language and social studies. Previous experience in teaching, work within folk education, or other educational activities is an advantage. The operations are conducted in close collaboration with the school's principal and the Pentecostal congregations in the region, and it is therefore important that you share our Christian faith and values.

Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability.
