The role includes the following tasks:

• You vary teaching methods and contribute to increasing interest in the subjects by using study visits and theater visits as an integrated part of the pedagogy.
• You use digital tools as a natural part of your daily teaching.
• You share mentorship for a class together with a colleague, which means a shared responsibility for the students' study situation and safety.
• You collaborate regularly with other teachers, guardians, and the school's student health team to create good conditions for each student's development.
• You actively contribute to the school's collegial learning through discussion and reflection together with your colleagues.

We are primarily looking for you who have a teacher certification with eligibility to teach Social Studies and Swedish in grades 7–9. Secondly, we look for you with a completed teacher education for grades 7–9. Alternatively, you are at the end of your education to become a teacher in grades 7–9.

It is a requirement that you have experience working in a curriculum-based school through practice or as an employee. It is meritorious if you have taught in grades 7–9 for at least one school year, have experience in mentorship, or are accustomed to documenting learning and setting grades.

In your role as a teacher in grades 7–9, you have good knowledge of the school's mission and are well acquainted with the curriculum (Lgr22) and other regulatory documents.
