Vacant job

Sundsgården Folk High School was founded in 1938 and is beautifully located with a view over Öresund. We are one of Sweden's larger folk high schools with over 350 course participants, of which about 70 live in the school's dormitory. The school offers vocational training, theater and music education, general courses equivalent to high school, profile courses, and short courses. The school is based on a Christian and democratic value foundation, and we actively work with our responsibility for a sustainable future – economically, socially, and environmentally.

At Sundsgården Folk High School, course participants can grow, be challenged, and inspired, in preparation for further studies, working life, their passion, and increased community participation. It is important for us that our participants have the opportunity to get to know themselves and develop in interaction with others. We welcome you who share our values and want to make a difference.

This is an education that has been offered at Sundsgården for over 20 years and is aimed at students with autism spectrum diagnosis (AST, ASD). The class consists of about 20 students who study to achieve high school eligibility and to develop self-awareness and knowledge about their diagnosis. The study period for the program is 1–3 years.

We are now looking for a course leader and teacher who, together with the team, will lead and further develop the education.
