You will work as a Special Needs Teacher in Sv/A together with qualified subject colleagues, special needs teachers, special educators, student coordinators, and staff at our after-school center for grades 4–6. You will primarily be responsible for special support in grades 4–5 and in our local special education group for grades 4–6, aimed at students with linguistic vulnerability. Short-term interventions or co-teaching systems for groups of students in need of various types of support in their reading, writing, and language development in other subjects will also occur.

It is important that you have good didactic and pedagogical skills, as well as knowledge of relevant digital tools and compensatory aids. The goal of your work is to give students strategies to learn how to learn and to participate actively and independently in their learning.
