As an educator here, you will work with a wonderful group of students who stimulate the development of your own teaching every day. Our adapted primary school in Eskilstuna is locally integrated into two primary schools, Djurgårdsskolan and Årbyskolan. Together, we welcome around 140 students from grades 1-9 with varying degrees of intellectual/physical disabilities, and some students also have NPD (Neurodevelopmental Disorders) diagnoses.

In this role, you work in a promoting and preventive capacity in close collaboration with teachers, student health services, other staff, and school leadership to create a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students. During the workday, you meet students in need of special support. As a mentor for students in grades Pre-K to 3, you are responsible for supporting the students' knowledge-based and social development in close cooperation with guardians and colleagues. The position also includes teaching in theoretical subjects where you plan, conduct, assess, and follow up on teaching based on the students' needs and prerequisites.
