Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions.

We work for everyone living here today and in the future. Now we are looking for someone who wants to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Welcome to us

Hello! Are you our new special educator or special teacher? My name is Viktor Orellana, and I am the principal of Lindeskolan and will be your immediate supervisor.

For me, student health work is the heart of the school’s educational activities, and I look forward to continuing to develop the work at the school together with you and the rest of the staff.

Do you want to join an exciting journey where you can influence how a new school is shaped and developed?

Lindeskolan is a newly started school since the autumn term of 2020 when we opened with preschool class. The school, located in Enskede Gård, is growing from the ground up, and this school year we have about 320 students from preschool class to grade 5. In the school year 26/27, we will expand by one more grade. We have approximately 50 employees.

As a newly started school, we have the advantage of building a school from the ground up. Our starting point is to create a family-like atmosphere where we together take responsibility for a good and pleasant school environment where knowledge and joyful learning are important building blocks. We have a relational and norm-aware approach. It is important for us that our students feel safe and happy when they are in our activities. All staff work closely together. Flexibility, lack of prestige, and joy are some attributes that characterize the staff group.

We offer

• An exciting opportunity to help shape student health work in a growing school.
• A close and inspiring collaboration with educators, school management, and other staff.
• Wellness allowance.
• Secure employment with a collective agreement and good employee benefits offered by the City of Stockholm.

Lindeskolan is a well-functioning school where we value good relationships between staff, students, and guardians. As an employee at Lindeskolan, you will have the opportunity to influence the development of the organization and operations.

We work to create an accessible learning environment with the student’s well-being in focus, so that all students have the best possible conditions to reach their full potential. Our teaching is characterized by structure, clarity, and predictability.

At Lindeskolan, we have flexible teaching groups where the grade working team collaborates closely around the students. We apply double mentorship, which means that each student has a teaching responsible mentor and a leisure home responsible mentor. We have a holistic view of teaching, learning, and care. We want to be the school where safety and learning go hand in hand.
