Vacant job

In the Vingåker region, we are close to each other, nature, and a wide range of cultural and recreational activities all year round. Here you will find rich cultural environments, good communications from nearby cities, and the country’s largest outlet for branded clothing. Vingåker Municipality is developing the community and public services for the future.

Slottsskolan 7-9 is Vingåker's only secondary school and is centrally located in the municipality. The school has approximately 230 students distributed across four classes per grade, as well as special teaching groups. We work in three teams consisting of dedicated teachers, special educators, and teaching assistants to create the best possible conditions for students' learning and development.

The school was inaugurated in January 2020 and is built to meet both students' and teachers' needs. It features modern facilities with smart technical solutions that promote innovative and effective learning. Each room and subject area is tailored to the specific needs of the subject, providing you as a teacher with the best conditions to conduct your teaching.

At Slottsskolan 7-9, we have small groups with about 18 students per class. This creates conditions that allow you as a teacher to work in a more effective and individualized manner. With so few students, you gain a better overview and can more easily follow each student’s development and needs. This leads to more effective teaching and a conducive learning environment, as less time is spent on establishing order in the classroom, allowing you to dedicate more time to actual teaching. You also have the opportunity to use more varied and interactive teaching methods, adapting them to each student's needs. Additionally, fewer students often mean a reduced workload, with fewer tests and assignments to grade, as well as fewer individual student matters to handle.

These factors create a work environment that not only benefits the students but also provides you as a teacher with better conditions to succeed in your work.
