Teacher of English at Järva Gymnasium

BACKGROUND

Järva Gymnasium is a modern, innovative, and inclusive upper secondary school located in the heart of the Järva district, in the fantastic facilities of the former Tensta Gymnasium.

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 view as 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 flourish and achieve their goals, thereby reaching their full potential.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are currently seeking a flexible and certified upper secondary school teacher with qualifications to teach English. You have a strong pedagogical understanding, as well as a strong interest and commitment. In and out of the classroom, you are a leader and role model who inspires learning and curiosity. The position is full-time (100%).

You value and constantly strive to create good relationships, with high expectations for 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, in line with the curriculum and its learning objectives. You adapt to the individual abilities of students and strive for more knowledge while exploring your own and your colleagues' teaching methods.

Goal achievement, result dialogues, and result analyses 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 students' well-being and development. Through your professionalism, stability, and leadership, you create a positive work environment with a collegial spirit that strengthens both you and your colleagues.

You enjoy being the responsible adult role model, working proactively, preventively, and developmentally. 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 achievement, and social and academic development.

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