Vocational Teacher for the Child and Leisure Program 100%, Torekällgymnasiet

A Day at Work

Torekällgymnasiet is Södertälje's municipal upper secondary school with introductory programs and national vocational preparatory programs. We are a small school, with about 300 students in the fall, which makes it easy to get to know all students and staff. We have well-equipped, purpose-built method rooms and classrooms that enable qualified and varied teaching.
With us, you can truly make a difference and work closely with both colleagues and students.
We are looking for a colleague with qualifications in vocational courses in the Child and Leisure Program, which has a focus on pedagogical and social work. Teaching may be on both our national upper secondary program and the Vocational Introduction Program. The position is a permanent employment, 100% starting in week 33.
We are in an exciting development process at the school where we are working to develop teaching and shape education so that students clearly see a red thread towards the goal. We are working on various exciting value-creating learning projects at the school. You will, together with your colleagues, develop this work and find more ways for your students to be motivated and achieve their goals. Our Child and Leisure Program is growing in size and we are constantly working to develop teaching to meet all students' needs.

We are looking for someone who builds safe and positive relationships with students and who can support them in their educational journey. As a teacher in the introductory program, you need to be accustomed to adapting the school day to the students' needs and daily condition. You have high relational competence and you are a secure person with great personal maturity who has experience working from a low-arousal approach. You see the students' ability to develop as something natural and you see possibilities instead of obstacles. You want to take on the challenge of following students with different educational needs and leading each one towards increased knowledge and independence. Since you will collaborate with several different professional categories and other authorities, your ability to communicate and cooperate is important. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
At the school, we have a strong student health team with whom you will also collaborate closely. Here we have study coaches employed who work to promote attendance and study motivation and take over several traditional mentor tasks such as administration related to absence management, which means that time is freed up for the teacher to focus on what directly concerns learning. It is of great importance that you have a flexible approach where you put the student's best interests at the center and are ready to guide students, in various ways, towards different goals using various strategies.
