Vacant job

Do you want to make a difference in children's daily lives and contribute to a safe and inspiring environment? Here, you have the opportunity to shape meaningful days, develop children's creativity and social skills, and create lasting joy. As a Lead Teacher, you can contribute to a better school.

Your Responsibilities

As a Lead Teacher in Linköping Municipality, you will have a permanent position as a teacher for grades Pre-K to 6, along with a fixed-term appointment as a Lead Teacher. Time for your Lead Teacher duties is allocated in dialogue with the responsible principal, amounting to at least 10% of working hours.

The role of Lead Teacher in the school involves working to develop operations in one or more subjects to increase goal fulfillment and students' academic results by:

• Systematically working to develop teaching so that it is based on scientific evidence and proven experience.
• Keeping up to date with current research and promoting its use in teaching.
• Mentoring colleagues in conducting pedagogical dialogues.
• Leading processes that develop collegial learning.

As a teacher, your starting point is to work with planning, teaching, evaluation, and values-based work based on the curriculum. The work is carried out both independently and in collaboration with colleagues.

As a teacher, you view the student's entire school day as important, and you therefore collaborate with both guardians and colleagues regarding the student. As part of this collaboration, the school's and after-school center's activities also work together to achieve higher goal fulfillment and create the best conditions for each student. To benefit the learning of students, yourself, and the operation, you draw upon the experiences and knowledge of different professions. You base your work on the student group you meet and are expected to create varied and challenging teaching. Using digital tools is a natural part of your teaching.

You will be part of a school development group with two other Lead Teachers, where you together lead important development processes and contribute to shaping future teaching. Teaching takes place at Nykil School, but you work on development for both Nykil and Ulrika Schools.

Your Workplace

Nykil School is located in the heart of the Nykil community and houses operations from Pre-K to Grade 6. Approximately 25 employees work here, and around 210 students attend. Together, we contribute to a pleasant and family-like school environment. The school consists of several buildings and has a large schoolyard with its own school forest that inspires play, exploration, and outdoor pedagogy. We actively work for safety and study peace, and our goal is for every student to succeed and develop into a secure and independent individual who believes in themselves and sees opportunities.

Our after-school center offers children a place to develop their creativity, imagination, and social skills. We place great focus on soft values and are currently working specifically with empathy and how to be a good friend. By making students participants and giving them influence in the operation, we create a safe and meaningful everyday life. The after-school center collaborates closely with the school to strengthen students' learning and well-being.

You Who Apply

It is a requirement that you, as an applicant, have a teaching license with eligibility to teach in grades Pre-K to 6. It is meritorious if you are eligible to teach in several subjects based on the operation's needs.

As a Lead Teacher in the school, you have several years of well-recommended previous experience in the role of a teacher. It is a requirement that you have at least four years of experience teaching in a curriculum-based school. It is meritorious if the experience is from teaching in grades Pre-K to 6. If you have previously mentored other teachers in pedagogical dialogues and led processes that develop collegial learning, we see this as meritorious. Furthermore, it is meritorious if you have experience as a Lead Teacher or team leader.

To be relevant for the position, you must be able to work during the operation's opening hours, as opportunities to reach us via public transport are limited.

In your role as a Lead Teacher in grades Pre-K to 6, you need to have a particularly good ability to improve students' results. You keep up to date with current research and have a strong interest in developing teaching so that it is based on scientific evidence and current research. As a teacher in grades Pre-K to 6, you have the ability to adapt your teaching to the students and let them participate in the design of the teaching. You are a good role model for the students and collaborate well with colleagues, guardians, and other contacts in society that occur in your professional role.

You have good knowledge of the school's mission and are well acquainted with the curriculum (Lgr22) and other regulatory documents. You have good communicative skills in speech and writing in the Swedish language. This is because, according to the curriculum (Lgr22), you should organize and carry out the work so that the student receives support in their language and communication development.
