Vacant job

Description

At the Language Centre (Språkcentrum), there are approximately 180 mother tongue teachers who together teach more than 70 languages. We provide mother tongue instruction and study guidance to approximately 12,000 children and students in primary and upper secondary schools throughout Gothenburg and its surrounding municipalities.

Job Responsibilities

The Language Centre is currently seeking a mother tongue teacher in Pashto. This is a fixed-term position with a 50% workload.

As a mother tongue teacher, you develop students' language skills by using varied working methods and teaching strategies. You actively utilize digital tools in a way that benefits student learning.

Organizationally, you belong to the Language Centre, but the majority of your time is spent at the preschools and primary schools where you have your assignments. The role requires collaboration with principals and staff at these schools.

Your direct supervisor is one of the unit managers at the Language Centre.

The culture at the Language Centre is characterized by commitment, collaboration, and a development-oriented mindset. One morning a week, you meet your colleagues at the Language Centre in working groups or language groups, where you work based on identified development needs. You receive support, inspiration, and ideas from your supervisors and colleagues.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are qualified and certified as a mother tongue teacher in Pashto, or a certified teacher with at least 30 university credits in Pashto.

You have good didactic knowledge of the language in question and good proficiency in Swedish, both spoken and written.

Since digital tools are to be used actively and thoughtfully in teaching, good digital competence is required.

Experience from pedagogical work in Swedish schools is desirable. You are well-versed in and understand the importance of working based on the Swedish school's steering documents.

As mother tongue teachers meet groups of students daily with variations in both knowledge and age, you need to be flexible in your pedagogical approach. Your attitude towards children and young people is characterized by responsiveness and encouragement. You motivate the young people you meet and give them strength and belief in themselves.

In interactions with school staff, you are collaborative and solution-oriented, while being clear about what your role as a mother tongue teacher entails. As a colleague, it is natural for you to share ideas and experiences and to contribute to the development of the Language Centre as a whole.

We warmly welcome your application!
