Responsibilities

We are looking for a new teaching colleague for a full-time temporary position teaching Swedish and History, as well as supervising senior projects (gymnasiearbete). Your organizational affiliation will be with the Arts Programme with a focus on Music, where you will have your principal and program colleagues.

The position includes teaching on national programs and supervising students in their senior projects, which requires a structured and supportive approach. You follow, support, and guide students in their academic and personal development. You work continuously with follow-up, feedback, and assessment to promote each student's learning. You actively participate in subject groups, work teams, and the school's joint development work.

Qualifications

To succeed and thrive in the role, you need to be confident in your leadership in the classroom and meet students with high and positive expectations. You have a teaching license with eligibility to teach Swedish and History at the upper secondary level, and you have experience teaching at this level. It is an advantage if you have previously supervised senior projects and have an understanding of the character of the Arts Programme.

Since we work in a modern educational environment, you have good digital skills and are familiar with using various digital tools and learning aids as a natural part of your pedagogy. You have a very good ability to adapt your teaching and meet different groups and abilities, allowing you to differentiate instruction so that all students are challenged and supported at the right level. Furthermore, you have a developed ability to collaborate, enjoy working in teams in a creative environment, and are skilled at building good relationships with students, colleagues, and guardians.
