Welcome to us

We are starting a brand new resource school in Månsarp, a safe and specially adapted learning environment for about 20 students in grades 1-6 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here, students will meet engaged staff, modern newly renovated facilities, and a working method that is based on each student's strengths and needs. The school will be part of the Nordskogen school area and will be led by the principal and vice principal in close collaboration.

At our new resource school, we focus on providing students with ASD the opportunity to develop based on their individual needs and conditions. Our mission is to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment for each student. By promoting a positive learning environment, we want to give students the tools they need to thrive and develop. We strive to provide students with the best possible conditions for the future.

You have worked as a certified teacher in Swedish for at least four years. As a lead teacher, you collaborate well with management and develop shared leadership in the workplace and are a good ambassador for both the workplace and your employer. You are flexible and can work in different teams and across the municipality. Basic IT skills are a requirement, and you use ICT as a natural part of teaching.

You have a strong commitment to students' learning and development and want to make a real difference. You are a clear and attentive leader who builds good relationships with students, guardians, and colleagues. You communicate well, enjoy collaborating, and work formatively with both analog and digital tools.
