Vacant job

Welcome to Väskinde School! We are a two-parallel school located just north of Visby, where approximately 260 students attend and around 45 staff members work. Here, you will work as a special needs educator alongside a positive and creative team, supported by a strong student health team. Teachers and after-school staff work closely together in good collaboration, and we have a flat hierarchy.

At Väskinde School, our teachers are highly qualified, we learn from each other, and we place a strong emphasis on collegial learning. Since the spring term of 2026, we have been a certified Generation PEP school, which means we focus heavily on movement and health. Our teachers actively work with PAX in the lower grades (where we are also working towards certification) and MVP in the middle grades, all to create a better working environment for both students and teachers.

Your Responsibilities

Your duties include, among other things, conducting investigations into students' needs for special support following decisions by the Student Health Team (SHT), as well as drafting and evaluating action plans. You may need to mentor colleagues, provide special support or teaching, and perform other tasks aimed at ensuring all students reach their maximum potential in their knowledge development.

In your role as a special needs educator, you are responsible for the overall special needs work within the school area. You will work closely with our special teachers and other competencies in the student health team to develop student health services at the school. You will collaborate closely with the principal and have a portion of the position dedicated to leadership support with personnel responsibility.

Who are you?

You are trained as a special needs educator and/or special teacher, with experience in leadership support/personnel responsibility being an advantage. You are a licensed teacher at your core.

It is also an advantage if you have completed LOGOS training and training in conducting SIP (Individual Cooperation and Planning).

We are looking for an engaged, structured, and experienced special needs educator who wants to contribute to ensuring all students receive the support they need to succeed in school. As a special needs educator with us, you will work closely with students and colleagues. You are skilled at building relationships with guardians and feel confident in collaborating with external contacts such as Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), Habilitation Services, and social services.

We warmly welcome your application!
