Who are we?

Ljuraskolan is centrally located in Norrköping, within walking distance to both forest and city center, and close to the Central Baths and Vasaparken. Approximately 65 employees work at our school, divided between primary school and adapted primary school, with two principals.

The adapted primary school has nearly 40 students divided into five classes. We have students who study according to subject and area-specific curricula. This autumn, Ljuraskolan's adapted primary school will consist of eight teachers, four leisure center teachers, and approximately 10 student assistants.

An important part of your work is to, in dialogue with principals and other employees at the school, continue to develop our student health work to make it even more systematic, salutogenic, and promoting. You have a responsibility to lead processes such as transitions within and between schools, and to develop our student health routines.

Who are you?

You are trained as a special needs teacher. You have experience in special needs pedagogical work and teaching, as well as a good understanding of students' different needs and how learning environments can be developed to promote learning. You are well-versed in the school's governing documents.

Furthermore, you have experience in organizing and leading student health work and in working with students in grades 1-6. You have good knowledge of the organization of student health services and how different professions together contribute to students' development and goal achievement. We would like you to have experience in driving development work and in supervising colleagues in special needs pedagogical matters.

As a person, you are confident in leading, coaching, and developing others. You are flexible and adapt easily to new situations and changed needs.
