School Counselor at Klingsborg School

Do you want to work proactively, preventively, and remedially to contribute to increased safety and study peace? Then you might be the one we are looking for!

Who are we?

Klingsborg School is a grades 7-9 school located in the Klingsberg district between Hageby and central Norrköping. Exciting things are happening, and we are looking for someone who wants to join us on our development journey into the future.

Klingsborg School has been newly renovated with facilities inaugurated in 2020, and we are proud of the premises we have. During the spring term of 2026, we have eleven classes distributed among three classes in grade 7, three classes in grade 8, and five classes in grade 9. In addition to the primary school, we also have adapted primary school (both with subject orientation and subject area orientation) on site at Klingsborg School.

Klingsborg School has previously participated in the project “Collaboration for the Best School.” This is a project that the government has tasked the Swedish National Agency for Education to implement to raise knowledge results and increase equity within and between schools.

During the spring term of 2018, a comprehensive analysis and mapping of needs at the school was conducted, resulting in a tailored action plan to implement changes and improvements to achieve the desired results.

Even though the project ended in the spring term of 2021, the development work continues independently. It is a significant investment that we are proud to have been a part of.
