Job Responsibilities

In your role as a teacher, you will be responsible for teaching within your subject areas. An important part of this responsibility is to adapt the learning environment based on the needs you encounter at the individual and group levels. One way to do this is to find alternative methods in your teaching to meet students where they are in their development.

You should also find it easy and see value in creating good contacts with guardians, and you are keen to maintain clear documentation regarding your students. You will individually and together with your colleagues plan, implement, and evaluate the educational work based on the school's governing documents, and with other mentors in the work team, you contribute to creating a holistic approach around the student.

Qualifications

We are looking for a qualified teacher for teaching Home Economics. If you have qualifications in additional subjects, we would be happy to discuss the design of the position to meet your preferences as much as possible.

To fulfill this assignment, you need to have a good ability to plan your subject and lead your students based on the primary school curriculum. As a leader, you need to be able to see your students' varying needs and interests. You need to have an inclusive approach, based on good pedagogical insight with a thoughtful view of knowledge and students. If you have knowledge and experience working with students' varying challenges related to NPF, it is an advantage. The position includes mentorship, so you also need to value the work of building relationships with your students.

Even though your main task is to be responsible for teaching in your teaching groups, it is important that you can have a holistic perspective where you are interested in and work for the entire school's development work. For you to thrive in the role, it is therefore important that you place great value on collaboration with other professionals at the school, that you are structured yet flexible, and can quickly adapt to changing circumstances. You have experience using IT support in your work and good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.
