Are you passionate about making school days both educational and meaningful for middle-grade students? We are now seeking an engaged lead teacher for grades 4–6 in Swedish at Oxelbergsskolan – perhaps you are the key person we're looking for in our team?
Who are we?
Oxelbergsskolan is a single-stream F–6 school with approximately 190 students where we work every day to create a safe, curious, and joyful learning environment. At our school, quality, development, joy, and respectful treatment are at the center.
The school has about 24 engaged colleagues who enjoy collaborating, sharing ideas, and trying new approaches. We support each other in our daily work, both in the classroom and in our teams, and we know that together we create the best school for our students. Oxelbergsskolan is located in Oxelbergen with proximity to green spaces, the city's pulse, and good transportation.
With us, you get the chance to combine classroom work with the opportunity to influence the school's development in a real way. We value colleagues who take initiative, think creatively, and dare to test new ideas – and we would like to see you drive both small and large improvements. Your expertise as a lead teacher is highly valued and you will have space to use it.
We offer a workplace where collaboration, openness, and helpfulness are everyday values. There are excellent opportunities for professional development and to build on your profession, for example through collegial learning, development projects, and support from school leadership. As part of a larger public organization, we work long-term with quality, safety, and equitable schools – here you are part of making a real difference for children's futures, every day.
Your responsibilities
In your role as a lead teacher in grades 4–6 in Swedish, you are both a classroom teacher and a pedagogical driver of teaching development. You plan, implement, and follow up on instruction in Swedish and another subject for students in grades 4–6, always with the student's learning and safety in focus. You work closely with colleagues, student support services, and school leadership to create structure, a good study environment, and positive results.
As a lead teacher, you are expected to drive development areas at the school, for example related to language and knowledge-developing work methods, dyslexia support, reading across subjects, formative assessment, or similar. You lead and inspire colleagues through mentoring, joint planning, and collegial learning, and you actively contribute to continuous improvement.
You are instrumental in the school's work toward more equitable instruction based on students' needs and support teachers in anchoring instruction in current research and proven practice. You lead and contribute to collegial learning through meetings, workshops, and joint lesson design, and drive development work in collaboration with the principal based on the development plan focusing on language and reading-developing instruction.
You mentor colleagues in acquiring alternative teaching methods, using digital tools and IT naturally in instruction and documentation, and work closely with student support services and colleagues to adapt instruction according to students' different needs.
As a lead teacher, you also participate in the municipality's lead teacher network four times per school year, where the content is part of the development plan's focus area on instructional development.
This year's focus is pedagogical leadership with an emphasis on analyzing your own instruction and creating conditions for each student's learning. The network aims to strengthen equity across the municipality and schools and to enable experience sharing with colleagues from other schools.
Who are you?
We are looking for you who are a certified teacher with authorization to teach Swedish and another subject in grades 4–6. You have worked as a teacher for at least 4 years and feel confident in both your leadership in the classroom and in your instruction.
You are passionate about language development, the educational mission, and building relationships with students and guardians. You have and share a salutogenic approach to students and value collaboration and team spirit highly, as well as having the ability to develop this within the team. If you have experience with collegial learning or development assignments, that is an asset.
You have good IT proficiency and use digital tools in both instruction and documentation. As a person, you are curious, organized, and unpretentious, and you enjoy collaborating and sharing your experiences. You thrive in a role where you get to lead development, inspire others, and at the same time continue to develop yourself.
You have very good skills in Swedish, both spoken and written.
We welcome your application!
