• Critically and independently take initiative in, analyze, and participate in preventive work, contributing to removing obstacles and difficulties in various learning environments.

Lillhagaskolan is Nykvarn Municipality's only municipal lower secondary school (grades 7–9). The school is located in a residential area near Nykvarn center, with direct access to forest and nature.

There are 470 students at the school, divided into three work teams and 20 classes.

We are an experienced staff group with 55 employees.

For students with extensive challenges, we have an adapted educational context. The 18–24 students placed here have adapted schedules in their own premises on the school grounds.

Two teachers and two teaching assistants are assigned to the group and are responsible for the children's entire school day.

The role includes, in addition to adapted teaching, social skills training such as recess activities, excursions, meal routines, and similar tasks.

The students connected to the adapted educational context have a great need for predictability and a relationship-based working approach.

The small work team needs to have an open climate and well-functioning collaboration to succeed in the task.

You are easy to work with and show that you are interested in feedback to always find further ways for joint development.

Since two teachers are responsible for large parts of the teaching, you must be a certified teacher and qualified to teach mathematics and Natural Sciences (NO) at the lower secondary level.

We would appreciate it if you have education or experience within NPF (Neurodevelopmental Disorders).
