About the American High School

The American High School was founded based on a strong educational idea. Our guiding principle is that “we work for our students and staff to reach their full potential.” Therefore, we work on both knowledge development and personal development. Our culture is characterized by clear rules with care. We call it “Frames and Hugs.” The school activities are organized to prepare students for an international job 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 prioritize their best interests.

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 services at the American High School are 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 receiving support from 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.

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 students' ages and needs. Through this work, you contribute to strengthening students' knowledge, self-awareness, and ability to make healthy choices.
