Apply to become a special needs teacher at our adapted upper secondary school

Our adapted upper secondary school is growing, and we are now looking for you who want to work with us at our unit, which shares premises with the upper secondary school in Liljeholmen. For the autumn of 2026, we need to expand our team with several colleagues who are licensed and have special needs teacher competence in intellectual disability (ID). We are currently recruiting teachers in Swedish and Swedish as a Second Language.

You have a strong focus on students and are a relational teacher with the ability to adapt your teaching to the students' needs. Together with your colleagues, you work with collegial learning and systematic pedagogical development. As a special needs teacher here, you will meet students on the national programs Health, Care, and Social Work, as well as Commerce and Service. Mapping students' study situations, support needs, and adaptations is part of the role. Communication with guardians and external contacts with authorities also occur. We want you to be driven by creating good connections with the surrounding society.

The unit for adapted upper secondary education is in a development phase as well as an expansion phase. This gives you great opportunities to influence routines and how the operations should develop. Our schools work from a strong value base regarding young people's civic engagement and the equal value of all, which is why it is important to us that you share our values.

Qualifications

To apply, you must have completed your special needs teacher education with a focus on intellectual disability (ID) as an addition to your teaching license. We would also appreciate it if you have experience working in an adapted upper secondary school.

We are looking for someone who is flexible, secure, communicative, receptive, and able to choose different approaches to find solutions. You are unpretentious and thrive in an environment where we collaborate and help each other to develop professional profiles and teaching.

You should enjoy working with young people in general and be driven by supporting their development towards stronger self-esteem and self-efficacy. We value your ability to meet students based on their knowledge and needs, as well as your ability to create good relationships. It is important to us that you collaborate well with your colleagues and that you become a positive force in our work towards a more humane society.

About our school organization

Grillska Upper Secondary Schools are run by Sweden's largest non-profit principal at the upper secondary level. Being non-profit means we are run in foundation form and as a non-profit organization, and we are simultaneously non-denominational and non-political. The foundation has a total of approximately 3,000 students, of which just over 60 attend our adapted upper secondary school in Liljeholmen. In addition, we are located in Eskilstuna, Liljeholmen, Kungsholmen, Uppsala, Västerås, and Örebro.

We are driven by our vision of a more humane society, and at our schools, all students receive daily conversations about the world around them and civic engagement training. The City Mission School Foundation strives for extensive collaboration with the surrounding society and is represented in several national contexts.
