Special Education Teacher Wanted for Adapted Primary School in Dalby

Do you want to help shape a new student group within adapted primary school and create a safe and accessible learning environment from the ground up?

In the fall of 2026, we plan to start a new student group within adapted primary school in Dalby, grades 1–3 with a focus on subject areas.

We are now looking for a special education teacher with a focus on intellectual disabilities (ID) who wants to help build the operation together with us.

In this recruitment, we have chosen to replace the personal letter with selection questions. Your answers to these questions are therefore an important part of our selection process. We may apply rolling selection, which means that interviews may take place during the application period.

About the Role and Your Responsibilities

As a special education teacher, you will play a central role in the startup of a student group within grades 1–3 with a focus on subject areas.

You will be responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on teaching tailored for students with intellectual disabilities and extensive support needs. You will be a mentor for a group of students and have overall pedagogical responsibility in the student group.

Your tasks include:

• Systematically working with mapping, documentation, and follow-up according to the Education Act.
• Proactively working to remove barriers in the learning environment.
• Collaborating closely with student health, guardians, and external actors.

The assignment also involves working together with colleagues to build structure, methods, and a safe learning environment for the student group within the framework of existing operations.

The position is a permanent full-time employment (100%).
