Vacant job

You want to make a difference and be part of shaping the future. With us, you will receive trust, development opportunities, and knowledgeable colleagues. We work together and are convinced that everyone wants and can learn.

At Erikslund Special School, we welcome students from grades 1–9 from all over Borås every day. We engage in extensive collaborations with the municipality’s associations and strive to provide our students with an experience-rich education on their own terms. Well-structured teaching and faith in the students' inherent will and ability to learn are our starting points. The school also offers after-school care (KTS) for all our students.

We are now moving into Borås City’s newest school building. This means we are relocating to completely new facilities with excellent conditions for delivering special needs education. Together with your colleagues, you will have the chance to help build the school operations to make them the best they can be.

You will work as a textile crafts teacher, along with some duties in Home Economics and Consumer Studies, at Erikslund Special School, where we have students from grades 1–9. At Erikslund Special School, we strive for differentiated instruction that allows all students to succeed in their learning. This requires you as a teacher to meet the students with a responsive, structured, and low-affective approach.

We are looking for someone interested in working flexibly together with your colleagues and students. Working flexibly means that the group composition may change during the terms, that the students' needs are in focus, and that you, as a teacher, adapt the teaching and learning environment to the individual student.

You will have support in the form of resources such as student assistants, support teachers, and activating pedagogues who follow the students throughout the school day to support them in various activities.

As a teacher, you are ultimately responsible for planning, implementing, and evaluating the teaching at both group and individual levels, based on the students' needs and prerequisites.

Together with your colleagues, you drive and develop the work so that it benefits all students. You establish clear goals and plan teaching systematically, organized, and methodically. You ensure that the work is completed, follow up on results, and view documentation and assessment of students' knowledge development as a natural part of your work.

You are a certified teacher in Crafts (Grades 1–9), with a specialization in Textiles.

You have knowledge and work experience within intellectual disabilities as well as experience with children with neuropsychiatric functional variations. Knowledge of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is an advantage. You are well familiar with the curriculum and other regulatory documents.

Your approach is that children do their best when they can, and you adapt your interaction and communication to create conditions for students to interpret different situations and contexts. As a person, you are calm, meet students with a low-affective approach, and encourage dialogue, participation, and engagement. You also have good collaboration skills and are adept at creating and maintaining good relationships with students, colleagues, and guardians.
