Special Teacher/Special Educator at Djurgårdsskolan

Djurgårdsskolan is one of four primary schools that have received permission from the Swedish National Agency for Education to offer distance education starting in the autumn term of 2026. Our brand new operation is aimed at students in grades 6-9 with space for approximately 42 students. Students will come from various schools and even from other municipalities. It is for this special teaching group that we will create quality education and learning at a distance and via remote teaching. You can read more about distance education on the Swedish National Agency for Education's website.

We are now looking for a special teacher/special educator

We are now looking for a special teacher/special educator with interest and curiosity to introduce a completely new way of supporting students. Together with four teachers, two mentors/social pedagogues, and the assistant principal, we are creating a form of teaching that does not currently exist. The operation starts in early August 2026.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

You will work closely with students and guardians. All meetings are digital and conducted remotely. You will lead the work of developing action plans for each student and also be responsible for follow-up. At the school, you will support and collaborate with other educators in the workgroup to best reach our students. You will collaborate with the students' original schools and ensure feedback regarding the student's development. In this role, you will also have contact with Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (BUP), Health and Rehabilitation (HAB), and social services. The goal for our students is to return to their regular school. You will be active in the work team's development efforts and want to contribute new ways of working in distance education.

QUALIFICATIONS

You are a qualified special teacher and/or special educator and have experience in special education in primary school. You have worked in special teaching groups and/or with individual students with special needs. If you have previous experience with digital learning tools, we believe you will adapt to the work more quickly. Perhaps you have taught via digital video meetings such as Zoom or Teams. In this role, you will have many contacts, both internally at the school and externally. Here, your ability to create good relationships and collaborations will be very useful. As a person, you are calm and able to work at a fast pace when needed. You are structured and organized while also being flexible and able to prioritize. Since you will be teaching students remotely, you need to have very good Swedish in both spoken and written form.
