We are looking for certified resource teachers/resource pedagogues for Smedjan in Surahammar Municipality

Surahammar Municipality is a municipality in change. Here we have proximity to both rural areas and the big city. Here lies the drive to grow, change, and develop. That is why it is so exciting to work here. With us, you become part of a flat hierarchy culture where we help each other and take advantage of each other's knowledge, differences, and experiences. The work is often varied, sometimes challenging, and always meaningful. Welcome here!

Our educational activities are located in our three urban areas: Ramnäs, Virsbo, and Surahammar. This includes preschool, preschool class, comprehensive school, adapted comprehensive school, after-school centers, and youth clubs.

You are welcome to a newly started and development-oriented unit where we work together to ensure all students' right to an equal education, in accordance with the Education Act. The unit Smedjan (The Forge) targets students in need of special support, where teaching is organized in a special teaching group with a high degree of structure, accessibility, and security.

The students come from Hammarskolan, the municipality's joint upper secondary school, and have a need for a calm, predictable, and well-organized learning environment. Here, we work systematically to remove obstacles to learning and create conditions for each student to develop as far as possible based on their own prerequisites.

We are looking for colleagues who want to help build an operation where the student's development is at the center – both academically and socially. The work is characterized by a relational approach, clarifying pedagogy, and active work for the students' learning, health, and well-being.

In the operation, teachers and resource teachers/resource pedagogues work closely together and in collaboration with other staff, student health services, guardians, and external actors. Together, we create a holistic support system around the student. The goal is for every student to be given the conditions to reach the knowledge goals in comprehensive school and thereby qualify for a national upper secondary program.

We work continuously with school development and systematic quality work – where your competence and commitment become an important part of our joint development.
