About the workplace

The schools of Helsingborg Municipality are a resource-rich and value-driven organization. Here, as an employee, you become an important part of our shared vision to create the best school for every child and student.

Högstenskolan is a school that is constantly developing. The opportunities for collaboration and pedagogical development with both subject colleagues and team colleagues are great. You will have many enthusiastic colleagues! We have approximately 475 students in a dynamic grades 7-9 operation. The Öresund is just a stone's throw from the school, and we have both pine forests and green meadows within easy reach. We consider good and vital relationships between all the people you meet daily at the school to be the warm core of our operations. The school is characterized primarily by safety and a good atmosphere. Our students come from various backgrounds, and we see diversity as enriching and as a strength. Digital tools are a natural part of our work. With us, you are expected to think new thoughts, be brave, and flexible. We see this attitude as an important path to success.

You will become part of a strong and supportive subject team where you plan and create materials together, giving you excellent conditions.

We have low staff turnover and a teaching staff that is almost 100% qualified. We know each other well and always help each other out. Your closest colleagues will naturally be in your work team, but if you are interested in socializing more broadly, you have come to the right place. You will also have five subject colleagues to collaborate with.

Job Description

The position involves working as a teacher in Social Studies (SO) for grades 7-9.

Together with your colleagues, you will do everything possible for the student's benefit, which requires patience, sensitivity, and enthusiasm. As a teacher with us, you will plan and evaluate teaching in consultation with both colleagues and students. You will work primarily with the well-knit work team of the lower secondary school, where you will face challenges and experience growth. The conditions for collaboration and mutual inspiration are, in other words, good. Of course, you will also have contact with the students' guardians in various ways. Clear and transparent communication fosters good relationships, and good relationships are important to us; both internally and externally.

We assume that your teaching is both serious and joyfully exciting. If you are interested in developing the use of ICT in your subjects, you have great opportunities in cooperation with our helpful ICT pedagogue, whom we share with the other schools in the school area. As an employee with us, you will quickly join a cheerful group that creates a positive atmosphere. We have a good mix, not only of students but also of staff. We ensure that you thrive and feel secure.

What We Offer

We offer you varied, responsible, and stimulating work with opportunities for personal development. The workplace is smoke-free and health-conscious. As an employee, you receive a wellness allowance of 3,000 SEK per year.

Qualifications

We are primarily looking for you who are a certified teacher with eligibility in Social Studies subjects.

We consider professional experience outside the school world to be significant. Life experience is always useful. Leadership experience in various forms and contexts is naturally good, as the teaching profession largely consists of leading and inspiring.

As a person, you are open and communicative in relation to students, colleagues, and parents. You want to develop together with those you are responsible for. As a teacher, it is important that you are able to meet and inspire students in the exciting work that being a teacher entails. If you can handle this task, you are cut out for us.
