RESPONSIBILITIES

As a special educator, you are a central and driving part of the student health team. Your mission includes both investigative and developmental work, with a particular focus on preventive and health-promoting measures. You contribute to ensuring that students in need of special support receive an individualized, inclusive response and measures that lead to increased goal fulfillment.

You work closely with the work teams to identify students in need of extra adjustments or special support measures, which are primarily provided within the framework of regular teaching. Together with the teaching staff, students, and guardians, you follow up and evaluate the work.

In your investigative role, you support the implementation of educational investigations and are responsible for follow-up, analysis, and evaluation. In your developmental role, your tasks include:

• Conducting educational initiatives based on identified needs
• Providing guidance to the school's educators and work teams
• Supporting the principal in analysis and development work
• Contributing to the development and strengthening of the school's learning environments

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who has a teaching degree and teaching certification. You have a special education degree or are in the final stages of your education, and you have teaching experience. It is an advantage if you have experience in guidance and have previously worked in secondary school or high school. We value a strong pedagogical ability and a good understanding of what motivates and engages students with different needs. You also need to be able to collaborate closely with teachers and be involved in the development of teaching.

The special educational mission means that you often encounter complex issues, and therefore we are looking for someone who has a good insight into the mission and the work with special support and adjustments within regular teaching.

You thrive in a dynamic environment and want to actively contribute with your experiences of preventive, promoting, and remedial work to strengthen our team. As a person, you are skilled at building trusting relationships with students and see teaching and teaching development as a natural part of your mission. You are engaged, collaborative, and eager to initiate development projects that promote students' knowledge development.

If you want to be part of a developing, inspiring, and joyful workplace, then Stålforsskolan is the right school for you!
