Vacant job

Do you want meaningful tasks that make a difference in people's lives? Welcome to the municipality that is far from average!

The Education Administration is responsible for preschools, leisure centers, primary schools, upper secondary schools, as well as adapted primary and upper secondary schools. We have over 3,200 employees at 40 preschools, 22 primary schools, and four upper secondary schools. There is a strong commitment here to ensure that all children and students receive high-quality education, opportunities for development, and the chance to reach their full potential. In Botkyrka, we see school success as the key to a good life and the strongest protective factor for the future.

The Role and Responsibilities

As a special needs teacher/special educator with us, you play a vital role in the organization. Together with teachers, your colleagues in the special needs team (specteam), and your colleagues in the student welfare team, you ensure that our students get the best possible conditions for learning, regardless of their needs.

• You have overall responsibility for special pedagogical support for both students and staff in grades 4-6.
• You teach students and provide both general support and special support in school subjects.
• You regularly meet with teacher work groups where you both support and challenge colleagues to find the best adaptations in teaching and the most adequate support for students.
• You have delegated responsibility from the principal for content, language, and qualitative analysis and assessment in Individual Educational Plans (IEP) and Action Plans.

What We Offer You

The school is surrounded by fantastic nature, and the location makes it suitable for teaching both indoors and outdoors. The proximity to the Lida and Brantbrink forests is often used by the school for days where students and educators have wonderful experiences together.

As a special needs teacher/special educator with us, you belong to the Studio's work team and the Student Welfare Unit. You collaborate with competent and experienced colleagues who all have the student's best interests at heart. In student welfare, all competencies are represented: school nurse, counselor, study and career counselor, school psychologist, and school leadership.

In our Studio, we have a special teaching group, and we also receive students who need to pause from the larger group for part of the day or during a period. We also have a pedagogical dog as part of our special pedagogical offering, as well as a social pedagogue who works with safety and well-being.

There is an opportunity to work part-time, 80%, if desired, otherwise full-time.
