Special Education Teacher with a focus on Home Economics

In Region Gotland, you can develop and grow, both as an individual and together with others. When you work with us, you contribute to making Gotland an even better place for people in all walks of life. We make each other better.

Adapted Primary School

The adapted school forms are a separate school form for students who are assessed not to have the prerequisites to meet the knowledge requirements of primary or secondary school due to an intellectual disability.

The adapted school forms have their own curriculum, and the teaching is adapted to each student's prerequisites and needs. Within the adapted school forms in Gotland, we teach students from grades 1-9 in adapted primary school and grades 1-4 in adapted secondary school.

Currently, we have about 80 students enrolled in adapted primary school and about 50 students enrolled in adapted secondary school. Our employees contribute to the learning and development of children, youth, and adults in Gotland. The operations within the adapted school forms are currently located in several schools around the island.

We are now looking for a special education teacher with a focus on home economics. You should have a great interest in people and the ability to create good relationships. As a special education teacher within the adapted primary school, you work based on each student's development and prerequisites. The students have an intellectual disability and are at different developmental levels.

As a special education teacher, you are responsible for planning and implementing the educational activities. You are also involved in the work around systematic quality management. You may teach in both subjects and subject areas. You work based on students' needs, interests, and prerequisites. The work can sometimes be physically demanding and includes some care.

Who Are You?

We are looking for someone who is a qualified special education teacher with a focus on intellectual disabilities and is qualified to teach home economics in the adapted primary school.

If a qualified special education teacher cannot be recruited, there may be an opportunity for a subject-qualified teacher to receive a temporary position as a special education teacher in the adapted primary school, in combination with a permanent position as a teacher in the primary school sector.

Experience working with individuals with intellectual disabilities or disabilities is an advantage. A driver's license is desirable.

You have a great interest in people and the ability to create good relationships. You are flexible, solution-oriented, and responsive to students' individual prerequisites.

You need to be calm and pedagogical with great patience and the ability to create security for each student. You have a positive attitude towards work. You need to have clarity in your actions. You are fluent in Swedish, both spoken and written.

The work requires your ability to plan and prioritize your tasks, and you need to have good knowledge of the school's governing documents. It is important that you are good at collaborating with others to achieve set goals together.

We place great importance on previous experiences and personality.
