High School Teacher in Chemistry, Biology, and Natural Sciences – Järva Gymnasium

BACKGROUND

Järva Gymnasium is a modern, innovative, and inclusive upper secondary school that opens its doors in the heart of Tensta this autumn 2024, in the fantastic facilities of the former Tensta Gymnasium. We are now looking for a high school teacher in chemistry, biology, and natural sciences.

We have an ambitious goal to create a school where 100% of students graduate, are well-equipped for higher education, and prepared for the future, with the ability to explore and realize their own ambitions.

Järva stands out for its rich diversity, which we consider one of our most valuable assets. We are looking for a teacher who appreciates this diversity and sees it as a foundation for supporting each student's unique ability to dream, learn, develop, and grow without limits. In line with our vision, we strive to offer a safe and welcoming environment where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and achieve their goals, thereby reaching their full potential.

Järva Gymnasium is foundation-owned and idealistic. The foundation's purpose is to contribute to increased equality through education. The foundation is non-profit, as well as politically and religiously independent.

Since we are newly established and in an establishment phase, you should be flexible and able to take on various roles at the school. You understand the importance of good relationships, high expectations, and collegial learning.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You who have qualifications in the subjects of natural sciences and other natural science subjects. You have a strong pedagogical understanding and great commitment. In and out of the classroom, you are a leader and role model who inspires learning and curiosity.

You value and constantly strive to create good relationships, with high expectations of yourself, your colleagues, and your students. Collegial learning is important to you, and you are both receptive to and provide feedback.

Your teaching is dynamic, well-planned, well-documented, and developmental, and in line with the curriculum and its learning objectives. You adapt to the individual abilities of individual students and strive for more knowledge while exploring your own and your colleagues' teaching.

Goal fulfillment, result dialogues, result analyses, and working goal-oriented are central tools for you, and you see them as tools to support students in reaching knowledge goals and developing your own teaching.

You see collaboration as the key to success, both within and outside the school, and your goal is to support the well-being and development of students. Through your professionalism, stability, and leadership, you create a positive work environment with a collegial spirit that strengthens both you and your colleagues.

You thrive as the responsible adult role model, working in a proactive, preventive, and developmental manner. It is important to you to support students and build good relationships, and you also see their parents as resources to enrich school work with a focus on the student's well-being, goal fulfillment, social, and academic development.

We want our students to be able to achieve all their goals and get the chance to move on to post-secondary education, and together we want to give them all the tools they need to get there.
