Special Educator at Täljegymnasiet – Help Build the Support Organization of the Future!

About Täljegymnasiet:

Täljegymnasiet is Södertälje Municipality's largest municipal school, with approximately 680 students. In addition to the nationally preparatory programs (Natural Science, Social Science, Economics, and Technology), we offer individualized alternatives within the Introduction Program and IB (International Baccalaureate), where the working language is English. The school also has students who combine their studies with elite sports training (NIU).

About the Role

We are looking for a special educator who wants to be a key figure in a larger development project focused on the Social Science Program.

The project is driven in close collaboration with:

• Teachers
• Student Health Services
• Deputy Principal
• Project Manager
• Municipal Resource Center (with development teachers, special needs educators, and cross-professional teams)

The project's goal is to strengthen goal achievement, school engagement, and student motivation. You will play a central role in developing, testing, and establishing a completely new support organization, with the ambition that this successful approach will be spread to the entire school.

Your Responsibilities

As a special educator in the project, you will:

• Work both closely with individual students and cross-professionally with colleagues
• Participate in the planning, organization, and construction of a new support structure
• Collaborate closely with the Resource Center and their special pedagogical and educational expertise – a collaboration that offers excellent opportunities for collegial learning, cross-professional cooperation, and joint planning
• Be a driving force in the project and in the school's long-term development work

You will have a unique opportunity to help develop and build a new support organization for students in the Social Science Program. The ambition is to create an approach that becomes successful and can be spread to the entire operation. This is a role where you can make a real impact – on both the students' daily lives and the school's future organization.

• Wants to contribute actively to joint development work
