Vacant job

Jönköping Municipality is a large employer with hundreds of different professional roles. We are growing alongside the municipality's development, with more residents, more housing, and a broader range of services. We are always looking for new skills – colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences, united by the common drive to create a better municipality to visit, live, work, and reside in.

Do you want one of the most important and rewarding assignments available? With us, you will inspire joyful learning – every day, all the way. We call it "learning joy".

Your new job

As a special needs educator (specialpedagog) with us, you are an expert in pedagogical matters. This may involve investigative work, staff supervision, and working with individual students.

The work is planned and carried out in close collaboration with school leadership, the rest of the student health team, and teacher working groups. Collaborating with guardians, external operations, and authorities such as central resource units, social services, child and adolescent psychiatry, and habilitation services is part of the assignment.

Welcome to us

Junedalsskolan has high ambitions, and we are now looking for you who want to help shape tomorrow's Jönköping. The school will consist of approximately 750 students in grades 7–9 and is located in the central parts of Jönköping. We offer proximity to the city center with its facilities and are just a ten-minute walk from Jönköping City Park.

We work to ensure that students reach the peak of their potential according to their own abilities. For students to achieve this, we need good teachers who can motivate and stimulate students' curiosity and have high expectations of their ability to develop. We work around the student with a holistic perspective, where students should feel safe, joyful, responsible, and independent, providing a good foundation for learning. At our school, everyone should thrive, feel secure, and experience joy in working.
