Special Education Teacher for Grades F–3

Grums Municipality is part of the Karlstad region and is located by the shores of Lake Vänern, a 20-minute drive from Karlstad. Here, you will enjoy all the benefits of working in a small municipality. We have jobs that make a difference. Together, we make an impact every day, each in our own way, but always with the municipality's residents in focus. By following our values, we create a welcoming municipality characterized by engagement, participation, professionalism, and joy in work.

We are now looking for a special education teacher for the F–3 area, which consists of two schools:

• Södra School in the town and
• Slottsbron School, approximately 1.5 km to the south. Slottsbron School has around 80 students divided into four classes and an after-school program. Södra School has about 260 students, adapted primary school, and an after-school program. Both schools are close to forests and nature and offer a varied and stimulating outdoor environment.

The schools share a common student health team and are characterized by close and trusting collaboration among professionals. We work health-promoting and preventive, focusing on developing accessible and inclusive learning environments.

We are currently in a development phase of our student health work, strengthening structures, routines, and methods to ensure equity and high quality in the support provided to our students. To take the next step in this work, we are now looking for a special education teacher who wants to contribute both operationally and strategically to the organization.

With us, you make a difference!
