Special Educators and Special Teachers Wanted

Do you want to make a real difference for students who need extra support to reach their full potential? We are currently looking for special educators and special teachers who want to contribute to creating an accessible learning environment where all students have the opportunity to succeed.

As a special educator or special teacher, you are a key person in the school's development. You support both students, educators, and teams by identifying needs, planning interventions, and suggesting strategies that enhance teaching. With your expertise, you contribute to ensuring that every student has the right conditions to grow – both academically and as an individual.

YOUR ROLE

As a special educator or special teacher, you work closely with both students and colleagues to create a learning environment where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. You conduct investigations and analyses to identify needs and plan interventions that strengthen students' development. Together with the school's staff, you develop and follow up on action plans and provide advice and guidance to teams and individual educators. By suggesting methods, tools, and approaches that meet different needs, you become a central resource in the school's work on inclusion, equity, and compensatory measures – always with the student's best interests in focus.

YOUR COMPETENCE AND EXPERIENCE

We are looking for someone with a special education degree and teaching certification, or someone who is a qualified special teacher. Even if you are in the final stages of your special education or special teacher training, you are warmly welcome to submit an application.

You have good knowledge of Swedish and English and thrive in a role where collaboration and relationship-building are central. To succeed, you need to be self-driven, solution-oriented, and see opportunities in each student's individual development.

To work within Education and labor market activities, you are required to provide an extract from the criminal record. You will order the extract for school and childcare from the Police (https://polisen.se/ (https://polisen.se/)). It is valid for one year and must be renewed thereafter.

YOUR NEW WORKPLACE

Skellefteå is a growing municipality with strong future prospects. Here you get both proximity to the city's opportunities and the tranquility of nature. When you apply for a job as a special educator or special teacher with us, you are applying to the entire Skellefteå municipality – your application will be matched against the schools where your skills and preferences fit best.

We are currently particularly seeking competence for:

• Björnåkerskolan's principal area: Special Educator or Special Teacher
