ABOUT THE JOB
We are now looking for an English teacher for Finnback School.

Finnback School is a secondary school with approximately 420 students. We have 5-6 parallel classes and four working teams, one for each grade and one for our resource school. The teams meet regularly in team meetings for professional development and student health meetings. Here, teachers have the opportunity to meet regularly by subject in sector meetings, and we conduct joint workplace meetings every month. We collaborate with the school's student health services to ensure that our students feel good and safe at school. Together, we build for the future through collaboration, education, and new technology.

The position involves teaching English and other regular tasks associated with the teaching profession. In addition to teaching and the tasks related to it, you will share mentorship for a class together with a colleague and contribute to the fun and challenging work of working with teenagers.

You will be part of a working team for consultation and planning regarding your mentored class and in a sector where collaboration is key to planning the teaching in your subjects. You will document students' development in our communication tool Infomentor and communicate assignments and other information to students via Teams.

Since the autumn of 2024, we have been working with a schedule model called subject weeks. The model involves cohesive and concentrated work sessions, with one theoretical subject per week. Subject weeks allow for different working methods, facilitate study visits, and reduce fragmentation of time for students and teachers. The hope is that the model will benefit all students and harness their desire to learn. The schedule includes practical-aesthetic subjects and language choices every week. This working method places higher demands on the teacher regarding variation, but at the same time, it gives a lot back, especially in the relationship with the students. Within the subject, teachers are expected to have close collegial collaboration where they plan and organize the teaching together. During some concentrated weeks, we work thematically with the school's guiding principles; together, health, and future.

Do you want to develop and help us build Finnback School further? Do you enjoy working with teenagers, as we do? Do you believe that mentorship is important and have a good ability to build relationships? Do you find subject weeks exciting and challenging? Then Finnback School is the right school for you!
