Vacant job

We are looking for a native language teacher/study support instructor in Spanish

As a native language teacher and study support instructor, you are employed centrally in the municipality within the Integration School unit, which serves the entire municipality with native language instruction and study support/language support in the native language from primary school grade 1 to upper secondary school. Currently, approximately 50 teachers/study support instructors work in the unit, covering more than 36 different languages.

In the role of a native language teacher, you plan, conduct, document, and assess based on the goals of the curriculum. The teaching may be located at several schools, and distance learning may be relevant for some groups. Study support/language support takes place at the municipality's various primary schools. This can be organized in different ways, such as study support before, during, or after lessons. The assignment requires collaboration with the principal and staff at the schools. Study support/language support is usually given during daytime during lesson hours, while native language instruction takes place outside the time-regulated schedule, usually after regular school hours. You participate in the unit's joint development work and have a base school where you are part of their joint development work, as far as possible.

Requirements for the position:

• Teacher certification for native language, Spanish, or alternatively a pedagogical education with broad competence.
• You must have good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in the native language you teach and in Swedish.

Merits for the position:

• You are well acquainted with LGR22 (the Swedish School Curriculum for Compulsory School, Preschool Class and Leisure Centre).

Personal qualities:

As a study support instructor/language supporter, you should have good insight into the Swedish school system and possess strong subject knowledge. You are flexible and have the ability to adapt to changing conditions and are well acquainted with digital tools. We are looking for someone who is secure, stable, and has good self-awareness in their professional role. You have the ability to build good relationships and communicate well with students, guardians, and other staff. As a person, you can inspire and engage students and meet them based on their individual prerequisites and knowledge level. We offer you an environment where language-developing teaching is a prerequisite and where collegial learning is central.

You have the competence to teach both on-site with all students in the classroom and via digital media through distance learning, which requires a good ability to structure work and good initiative. You have good skills in analysis and reflection and constantly develop your teaching. Great attention is paid to personal suitability.
