About the Organization

Sylteskolan is a F-9 school that includes both regular and adapted primary education.

The adapted primary school in Trollhättan is entering an exciting phase that will involve development and expansion of the operations with a clear focus on school development and increased quality throughout the students' school day.

At Sylteskolan, we work based on a common holistic view, value foundation, and a professional approach with the goal of creating safe learning environments and strong leadership in teaching. Clear routines, structure, and adaptation based on students' needs are guiding stars in our operations. We see diversity as an asset and inclusion as a given. In our teaching groups, many different nationalities are represented, and we teach students based on different curricula. Our ambition is to constantly develop ourselves and our operations with the goal of increasing students' goal fulfillment – both academically and socially as much as possible.

In the adapted primary school, we have students studying both subjects and subject areas. The school also offers leisure activities and short-term supervision. The entire school day of the student is important to create security, a sense of coherence, and a meaningful leisure time.

The activities of the leisure center and short-term supervision in the adapted primary school are in an expansive development phase, which is why we are strengthening our team with teachers in the leisure center. We are particularly looking for someone with good leadership qualities who wants to contribute to the development of the operations by driving systematic quality work and leading the organizational work in close collaboration with the principal and colleagues.

Job Responsibilities

You will lead the planning and implement the pedagogical activities for our students during leisure and short-term supervision. The assignment also includes contributing to the development of the leisure center by creating structure, following up on operations, and driving improvement work together with colleagues and management. You will work for good quality and consider the whole of students' learning both in the leisure center and in school.

Collaboration with teachers and student support staff regarding students' learning, participation, and influence is of utmost importance for our students' development. A certain part of the working hours may be allocated in the school, either as a resource educator or in a subject area.

You are well acquainted with the governing documents and feel secure in your professional role.

You are attentive, creative, and quality-conscious, and work in a structured and systematic manner. You have a good ability to lead the work in the team, create consensus, and contribute to clear communication in everyday life.
