Job Responsibilities

At Burgården, we educate for reality, and just like in reality, our school is a bustling world, with many directions, people, and meetings. We offer vocational programs, university preparatory programs, and introductory programs. Here we train the future hairdressers, hair and makeup stylists, and fashion designers alongside nursing assistants, childcare workers, support assistants, and animal caretakers. We also offer the Aesthetic Program, Social Science Program, and Natural Science Program. We are a multicultural school with 1250 students from all districts and surrounding municipalities. We work with an open mind, a big heart, and professional pride that is contagious.

Burgården's AST unit is a specially designed unit for students on the autism spectrum. Here, there are special educators, special teachers, subject teachers, and resource educators with broad competence and many years of experience. Our approach is based on trust, respect, and consideration of functional variations. We highlight our students' strengths.

The following programs are available in the AST unit:

• Aesthetic Program, focus on Image and Form

Together with teachers, you will conduct pedagogical investigations and assist teachers, special teachers, and resource educators in providing special support.

As a special educator at Burgården, you will work at the organizational and group level but also at the individual level. In this role, you will be a qualified support to the principal by ensuring that the education meets national guidelines and goals.
