Vocational Teacher 50% for Healthcare and Care Program, Torekällgymnasiet

A day at work

Torekällgymnasiet is Södertälje's municipal upper secondary school offering introductory programs and national vocational preparatory programs. We are a small school with approximately 300 students, which makes it easy to get to know all students and staff. We have well-equipped and purpose-built method rooms and classrooms that enable qualified and varied teaching. Here, you can truly make a difference and work closely with both students and colleagues.

We are now looking for a new colleague for our Healthcare and Care Program, where you will teach vocational subjects on both our national program and our vocational introductory program. We are looking for you who are trained as a nursing teacher or who are about to complete your training.

The position is a fixed-term appointment at 50%, scheduled for 2.5 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Friday) until the end of the academic year, starting in week 33.

Your professional experience is important, and we would prefer that your experience is current and that you are trained as a nurse.

Aside from subject competence, your leadership and relational skills will be the most important tools in the teaching role. Here, we work to create motivation and understanding for the profession so that students can enter the workforce after their education. Therefore, it is important that you can motivate and engage students. You need to be a secure leader in the classroom and have a good understanding of the school's compensatory mission. It is of great importance that you have a flexible approach where you put the student's best interests first and are ready to mentor students in various ways towards different goals using different strategies. You need to be creative and skilled at varying teaching so that theoretical and practical elements are included in all courses.

Collaboration with working life is a natural part of your work, and we collaborate to prepare students for a future profession. You work closely with your subject colleagues and with colleagues in your development group, where you collaborate on the students' entire study path. You have strong support from the school's study coaches who work directly with students. The school has an experienced student health team and a driven lead teacher group that also provide support in various ways. Students' school histories are often marked by failures, and school self-confidence is low. We are looking for you who, together with others in your team, create an accessible environment and a motivating climate for all students.

Who are you?

Requirements:

• We are looking for you who are a licensed nursing teacher or who are about to complete your studies for vocational teacher certification.
• Current, documented, and relevant professional experience.

Merits:

• Experience of teaching at an upper secondary school, both national and introductory programs.
• Documented competence in low-affective interaction (low-arousal approach).
• Experience with language- and knowledge-developing approaches.

Personal qualities:

• You have high relational competence and are a secure person with great personal maturity, with experience working based on low-affective interaction.
• You see students' ability to develop as something natural and see opportunities instead of obstacles.
• You want to take on the challenge of following students with different pedagogical needs and leading each one towards increased knowledge and independence.
• Since you will collaborate with several different professional categories and other authorities, your ability to communicate and collaborate is important.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
