About the Workplace

Dalabergsskolan is a school with approximately 280 students in preschool class to grade 6, and around 40 staff members. The school is located in the northern parts of the city, with easy access to forests, lakes, and sports facilities. Most of our students come from multilingual backgrounds, a resource that contributes to us being a school that truly makes a difference. At Dalabergsskolan, we have high expectations of each other, and our focus is on achieving goals, as well as safety and a conducive learning environment. In the autumn of 2023, significant work was done to develop our shared value base, including rules of conduct and a consequence ladder, which has worked well in practice.

Our value base is summarized in the following points:

At Dalabergsskolan:

• We trust in each other – everyone does their best.
• We focus on what works well.
• We support each other to go further and create an atmosphere where it is okay to make mistakes.

The team is the employees' primary affiliation, where planning, implementation, and analysis of teaching take place. Teaching is not a solitary job; at our school, we work together. Our after-school center complements the school in terms of versatility, holistic approach, and continuity in children's learning. We have a large and varied schoolyard that invites sports, games, and play. During every break, after-school educators are outside leading break activities together with all staff members wearing yellow reflective vests as break wardens. We work with the "Zero Vision Football Pitch" system, a systematic effort to reduce bullying and conflicts related to football. All students are pre-assigned to teams, have set playing times, a referee (after-school educator) for all matches, and clear consequences for breaking rules. Our safety group works on bullying, investigates incidents, holds conversations, and implements preventive measures in classes to strengthen students and give them tools to handle their school years. We have a stable student health team consisting of a counselor, school nurse, special needs educator, special teacher, deputy principal, and principal, all present at the school every day, working to ensure students feel well and learn – with the help of their important teachers.

Responsibilities

• Teaching in our upcoming grade 4 together with 3 other qualified and experienced teachers.
• Resource teacher in own classes and during other hours for grades 4–6.
