Vacant job

In Österåker Municipality, we work to provide residents with the highest quality of service and support. With us, you make a difference, both for individuals and for the municipality as a whole. If you work with us, you can be sure to engage in meaningful tasks. Do you want to be part of our journey? Then you are warmly welcome to Österåker.

In Österåker, we work towards becoming the best school municipality in the county. In our work towards this goal, we have three key words: knowledge, professionalism, and security. Knowledge means that more students should reach their goals and achieve better school results. Professionalism means that we should have knowledgeable staff who can also grow and develop in their roles. Security means that staff and students should have peace of mind, experience the school environment as safe, and be involved in decisions that affect their daily lives.

Are you looking for an exciting challenge as a special needs teacher for development work at the upper secondary level? We are looking for an engaged, creative, and curious special needs teacher who wants to work on developing a flexible support unit and a modern school library 2.0.

About Österåker Upper Secondary School

Österåker Upper Secondary School is a smaller school (620 students) with the opportunities of a larger school. This gives us good conditions for actively working on good relationships and meeting our students with high expectations. We offer the Economics Programme, the Natural Science Programme, the Social Science Programme, the Technology Programme, and two Introduction Programmes.

We have secured seven years of funding from the EU for our Erasmus projects and international collaborations. The school also has many UF companies that compete with their business plans and collaborate with our local business community. Being located in a municipality with a clear entrepreneurial profile offers great opportunities. Students can also combine their studies with profiles in sports and aesthetic creation. Our Golf profile is a NIU - nationally approved sports education and accepts applicants from the entire region.

We have a very high proportion of qualified teachers and low staff turnover. Österåker Upper Secondary School has, for example, teachers who have completed doctoral degrees, teachers who have had their literary works published, and teachers who have worked with competence development at the national level within teaching. We also have six lead teachers who work with school development through lesson design. Students who wish to study more or have extra time with their teachers are given the opportunity to do so, among other things, through many manned study times.

The school's new security team has a specific mandate to increase accessibility to students and to be present in premises and during lessons. The security team and mentors collaborate by regularly discussing security issues and how to behave towards each other. In the latest security survey, 91% of students state that they feel safe in our school.
