Do you want to help create the school of the future – where students can grow, succeed, and feel hope?

About Us

We offer a unique combination of schooling and treatment, where education is integrated with skills training and therapy. Our operations are characterized by a humble collaboration between different professions. In addition to teachers, we employ social and therapeutic pedagogues, social workers, and family therapists who, together with the school staff, support students in their development. The school is aimed at young people in grades 6–9 with extensive needs for special support. The students we meet often have social, psychosocial, or neuropsychiatric difficulties and frequently have a long history of school absenteeism. To help these young people achieve a functional school experience, we work with small-scale operations, high staff density, enhanced social support for students, and individually tailored arrangements based on each student's prerequisites and needs. We have a systemic and salutogenic approach where the focus is on working with the whole and building on what works. Our goal is to provide an environment where every student has a chance to succeed based on their own conditions.

Our organization is non-profit and employee-owned, a conscious choice that reflects our commitment and long-term vision.

About the Position

As a teacher at Magelungen Resource School, you will work in an environment that offers both schooling and treatment, where education is integrated with skills training and therapy. We offer a smaller, more intimate setting in a fully adapted learning environment. An important part of our daily work is to strengthen young people by focusing on their resources and competence to work together towards their own goals. You will work in close collaboration with school leadership, licensed teachers, student health services, and treatment coordinators (social workers and behavioral scientists) by starting from the students' competencies, strengths, and resources, and utilizing these to practice on what is difficult.

We believe in every student's ability to succeed and see it as our mission to make that possible. With curiosity, trust, and perseverance, we create the conditions required for every student to take the next step in their development, both academically and as an individual.

Your Role With Us

As a teacher at Magelungen, you will become a key figure in a holistic effort that combines teaching, relationships, and change work. You will teach in a smaller group where students' individual strengths form the starting point for planning and learning. Mentoring is a central part of your assignment and the school's structure.

Your responsibilities include:

• creating teaching that combines knowledge, structure, and relationships.
• collaborating closely with colleagues in an interdisciplinary team.
• contributing to systematic development work with a focus on differentiated instruction, reading, and conceptual understanding.
• being part of an environment where trust, warmth, and perseverance are central tools.

In short – you will do pedagogical work that truly makes a difference.

We Are Looking For You Who

• is a licensed teacher with qualification for grades 7–9 in Social Studies (SO).
• has experience of, or a strong interest in, students with extensive support needs.
• views the relationship as your primary pedagogical tool.
• combines structure with creativity and maintains calm even when daily life challenges you.
• is attracted to working in a non-profit, employee-owned organization where research and reflection are a natural part.
• Experience in special education is an asset.

We believe in secure teachers who use relationships as an active tool in their work. Here, trust, structure, and secure leadership are just as important as creativity and flexibility. It is in the meeting between clarity and warmth that our students get the best possible conditions to succeed, and where you as a teacher get the opportunity to make a real difference.

The school is directed solely towards students with extensive needs for special support; therefore, we prefer that you have experience and a strong interest in working with this category of students.

We Offer

• a meaningful workplace where every day feels important.
• close leadership and a warm collegium that believes in collaboration and development.
• continuous supervision and professional development within Magelungen's professional program.
• the opportunity to influence how we build the resource school of the future.
