Vacant job

The mentor role is a social-pedagogical function designed to serve as the connecting link for the students. As a mentor, you will maintain continuous contact with the school's students to build relationships.

The position is primarily a combined role as a mentor and a high school history teacher. Depending on the applicant's preferences, qualifications, and our needs, the position can be split into two part-time roles.

Selection and interviews are conducted on an ongoing basis. The position will be filled subject to necessary decisions being made.

Responsibilities

Mentor:

• Attend classes as needed, assist students with study techniques, and conduct outreach activities.
• Hold development conferences, motivational talks, and participate in student health conferences.
• Collaborate closely with the student health service, maintain contact with guardians, and monitor attendance, among other duties.

You will report directly to the Principal.

High School History Teacher:

• Plan, implement, and follow up on teaching, as well as grade history courses.

Qualifications

• Academic education, preferably in pedagogy, or equivalent knowledge obtained in other ways.
• A teaching certification in history at the high school level is desirable but not required.
• Knowledge of school regulations and legislation.

We have high demands for a professional approach. Providing an extract from the police criminal record is a prerequisite for employment.

Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.

Personal Attributes

• You must have the willingness and commitment to support students in their development.
• You have an open and relationship-building personality, as contact with colleagues and the trust you build with students are of great importance.
• You enjoy collaboration, take responsibility for your area of work, and assist your colleagues when opportunities arise.
• You have good interpersonal skills and can meet varying needs and performance levels in a respectful manner. Outside the classroom, you should also be able to act as a role model for students in both interaction and lifestyle matters.
• You see opportunities in your daily life and are eager to contribute to the development of students and the organization.
• You are comfortable receiving confidences and sometimes sensitive information.
