About the Position

Welcome to Olaus Petriskolan 7-9! We are currently offering the opportunity to work with us as an art teacher. We are looking for an engaged and flexible teacher who wants to work at a large and attractive secondary school in the city center. As a secondary school teacher, you will teach adolescents in their early teens, and mentoring a class in year 7 is part of the role. Building relationships with students is a crucial part of the pedagogical work, aimed at establishing trust and a safe environment both inside and outside the classroom.

Together with another experienced art teacher, you will conduct art education for the school's students. You will teach independently but maintain very close collaboration in your work. You will be part of a well-functioning team with solid experience that collaborates and supports each other every day. You are expected to contribute to the team's development by actively participating in conferences and the group's competence development.

Examples of duties:

• Teaching art.
• Planning, implementing, and evaluating pedagogical teaching in collaboration with other staff.
• Supporting students' social development.
• Mentoring a class.
• Working cross-curricularly with others.
• Collaborating with other educators to drive school development for increased goal fulfillment.

About the Workplace

Olaus Petriskolan is a comprehensive school (grades F-9) located centrally in Örebro. Grades F-6 are located in the north, and grades 7-9 are in the city center near Oskarsparken. The secondary school has approximately 500 students distributed across 6 work teams. The work teams are responsible for clearly defined student groups. We offer three unique profiles: culture, sports and health, and maker space. In close collaboration with the Municipal School of Music and Drama, we work across subject boundaries, allowing art, music, and theater to contribute to all students' learning when working on cross-curricular themes.

Since the 2015/2016 academic year, Olaus Petriskolan has been a Practice School, a collaboration with the teacher education program at Örebro University.

With trust and courage, we build our preschools and schools together. We take on the challenges of the future for the best of every child.
