About the American High School

The American High School was founded based on a strong educational idea. Our guiding star is that “we work for our students and staff to reach their full potential.” Therefore, we work with both knowledge development and personal development. Our culture is characterized by clear rules of conduct with care. We call it “Frames and Hugs.” The school activities are organized so that students are prepared for an international labor market in a rapidly changing world, which is why our logo reads “Get ready for the world.”

Everything that happens at the school is based on our four core values: Courage, Kindness, Knowledge & Curiosity, and Grit. In classrooms and corridors, interactions between students and staff are characterized by behaviors derived from these values. We work closely with students and always put their best interests first.

About the Role

As a school nurse at the American High School, you are a central part of the school's Student Health and the medical intervention (EMI). You work health-promoting and preventive with a focus on strengthening students' health, well-being, and learning conditions. With your medical and nursing competence, you contribute to creating a safe, inclusive, and health-promoting school environment.

The medical student health at the American High School is organized in collaboration with Klara Student Health, which means you have access to a well-structured and professional student health organization. You work closely with the school management and student health team at the school, while also having the support of Klara Student Health's network of school nurses and medically responsible leaders.

In this role, you have independent responsibility for planning, structuring, and executing your work throughout the academic year, in line with applicable governing documents and medical guidelines. At the same time, you are given good opportunities for collegial support, experience exchange, and professional development.

Through collaboration with Klara Student Health, you are offered continuous further education, supervision, and competence development within EMI. We believe in a sustainable and development-oriented work climate where your competence is valued and given the opportunity to grow, while you contribute to strengthening and developing student health work at the school.

The position is a permanent employment at 100%, shared between Gothenburg and Halmstad. You will primarily be based at the school in Gothenburg but will also work a few days a month from the school in Halmstad. The employment begins with a probationary period of 6 months. Start date as soon as possible or by agreement.

Student-Centered Work

In the role of school nurse, you actively work closely with students and are a visible part of the school day. This means you meet students in various contexts and environments at the school – not just at the reception. You move around the school premises, build relationships in everyday life, and contribute to lowering the barriers for contact and support.

The student-centered work also includes health-promoting and preventive measures at the group and class level, such as holding lectures or workshops for students on topics like sleep, nutrition, physical activity, stress, tobacco, alcohol, and drugs, tailored to the students' age and needs. Through this work, you contribute to strengthening students' knowledge, self-awareness, and ability to make healthy choices.
