Your new job

Ribbaskolan F-6 is seeking a lead teacher with a focus on after-school care.

You will be an important part of the school's joint development work to enhance the quality of after-school care.

Your primary role will be teaching and planning activities related to after-school care. In your teaching, you will demonstrate good examples and be a positive role model for the after-school care teams in their daily pedagogical work.

As a lead teacher, you will work with the school management to develop the pedagogical activities of after-school care based on the curriculum and contribute to long-term school and teaching improvements that strengthen students' learning, safety, and well-being. You will play a key role in leading collaborative learning within after-school care and serve as a mentor for new educators. Your assignment also includes being proactive in the systematic quality work based on your own experience and scientific principles.

The position means that, in addition to your role as a lead teacher, you will be part of a team working together to develop the activities in line with the curriculum's purpose and central content. We expect you to be proactive and active in this work.

You will consciously work with the complementary assignment of after-school care - a significant part of all students' goal fulfillment. You view your collaborative role as an important part of students' education. Working from the student's overall school day is a given for you.
