Your Role

In the role of a special needs teacher, you work with students in grades 6-9 who are in need of special support in language, reading, writing, and mathematics development. You teach and support students through individualized support measures in the classroom, in small groups, and individually. You identify and analyze students' needs through mapping and screenings, and highlight any barriers in the learning environment.

You collaborate closely with school leadership and other professions to create the best possible conditions for students' learning. If necessary, you participate in meetings with students and guardians to inform and discuss selected measures. Together with colleagues, students, and guardians, you create good conditions for students' development and goal achievement through targeted support measures, adjustments, and safe, trusting relationships.

• A teaching license with eligibility to teach in grades 6-9.
• A special needs teacher degree with specialization in language, writing, and reading development or mathematics development.
• Experience working as a special needs teacher in primary and lower secondary school.

Is this you?

We are looking for you who are an engaged and driven special needs teacher with a strong desire to help build and develop the future Ektorp School. To succeed in the role, you need both the interest and ability to collaborate, communicate, and build good relationships with students, guardians, school leadership, and external contacts. You are confident in your leadership, clear in your communication, and have the ability to lead both students and colleagues in various situations. You are self-motivated and take responsibility for planning, implementing, and following up on your work in an efficient manner. Furthermore, you are flexible and adapt easily to the needs of the operation, where the work may vary between student-facing measures and administrative tasks.

You have good pedagogical insight and a holistic perspective on student learning. With an understanding that every student has unique conditions and needs, you adapt methods and working approaches to provide the right support. You are attentive to what is happening in the operation and actively contribute to its development. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
