Job Responsibilities

Do you want to work in an environment where relationships, structure, and pedagogy meet? We are looking for teachers who want to make a real difference for students, contributing to safety, a conducive learning environment, and a return to regular school settings.

In Stenungsund Municipality, there are three school social teams working in operational collaboration for our children and students. The teams consist of social pedagogues and school social workers, working preventively, proactively, and remedially together with teachers and student health services to create a safer school experience for all students.

We are now expanding the teams with the teaching profession to also provide pedagogical support, primarily to students at risk of disciplinary measures or those needing re-establishment of attendance.

The assignment consists of two parts: A preventive part within regular operations and a remedial part in the form of individual instruction.

As a teacher in a school social team, you will work with students who are temporarily outside their home school due to social, emotional, or pedagogical difficulties. The assignment is intensive, relational, and solution-focused. You will combine teaching with relational leadership and close collaboration with regular teachers, student health services, and other professionals.

The preventive part of the assignment involves working in the regular school environment together with school staff to strengthen teaching structures, contribute to safety and a conducive learning environment, and provide pedagogical support at group and individual levels before difficulties escalate. The focus is on creating sustainable learning environments and giving the organization tools that benefit more students over time.

Role Description:

• Work operationally in our schools in classes, groups, and with individual students, focusing on attendance, safety, and a conducive learning environment.
• Contribute pedagogical competence at group and individual levels in regular operations based on assignments to the school social team.
• Teach students outside of regular instruction.
• Collaborate with regular teachers regarding the planning of instruction for students.
• Map students' pedagogical needs and propose measures for returning to regular instruction.
• Act as an operational bridge and support for the student and the organization during the return to the home school.
• Collaborate closely with social pedagogues and school social workers to create a holistic view of the student's schooling.
• Document and contribute pedagogical underpinning to action plans and proposals for measures.
• Contribute to the systematic quality and development work for the development of student health and school social teams.
