Vacant job

Do you want to focus on high-quality teaching and increased goal achievement within a stable and cohesive teaching team? At Nygårdsskolan, you will meet open and lovely students in an environment where collaboration and security are the keys to success.

Your responsibilities

As a teacher for grades 4–6 with us, you have a clear mission: to drive students toward increased goal achievement through high-quality teaching.

This position is targeted at grade 4. You will be part of a team of four teachers who share responsibility for the two classes in that grade. The work is based on a double-teacher model where you plan and deliver teaching together based on the needs of the operation. The role also includes shared mentorship for the students in the grade, meaning you jointly handle student social issues and contact with guardians.

Your main responsibilities:

• Plan, implement, and evaluate teaching in Swedish, Swedish as a Second Language, and Social Studies based on the curriculum Lgr22. Depending on your qualifications, teaching in English may also be included.
• Exercise shared mentorship for the students in the grade together with colleagues in the team.
• Collaborate closely in a double-teacher model and contribute to collegial learning.
• Create varied and challenging teaching where digital tools are a natural part.
• Collaborate with colleagues, guardians, and other school activities, such as after-school care and the student health team.

Your workplace

Nygårdsskolan is a school for grades F–6 with approximately 300 students today, most of whom have multicultural backgrounds. The school has newly renovated, fresh facilities and is located in the district of Skäggetorp. The school has a pleasant playground of approximately 14,000 square meters. New play equipment is available to promote play, creativity, movement, and socializing.

The school offers after-school care for students in grades F–3 and open after-school activities for students in grades 4–6. We have a staffed school library with a well-developed book collection, a well-functioning student health team, a popular after-school care center, and developed environmental work at the school. At Nygårdsskolan, cooperative learning is used in teaching 1–2 days a week, which benefits the students' development.

Nygårdsskolan is characterized by a very high level of engagement and a high degree of flexibility. Our concept of quality forms the basis for the teacher's teaching potential; we are keen to provide our employees with the right conditions for the role. Furthermore, we place great qualitative emphasis on the collaboration between teachers, students, and guardians functioning well. We believe that high quality is achieved through active values-based work and that school employees, regardless of their tasks, are involved in taking initiative for both influence and analysis of the operation.

Welcome to Nygårdsskolan!
