After-School Program Teacher at Frölundaskolan Bräcke Special Education Elementary School

Description We are seeking a certified after-school program teacher for Frölundaskolan Bräcke special education elementary school, grades 1–9! Frölundaskolan Bräcke is a relatively large special education elementary school. Most students study subject-matter areas and many have significant support needs in communication, learning, mobility, and personal care. Many communicate with support of AAC (augmentative and alternative communication). This means small student groups, high staff presence, and close collaboration between different professionals. The school has a particular focus on communication and developing students' independence. Our school and after-school program form a whole. We offer after-school care for students up to 12 years old and short-term supervision for students over 12 years old who are eligible for services under LSS (Swedish law on support and service for persons with certain functional impairments). Teaching must therefore create continuity and coherence throughout the student's entire day. Job Responsibilities The after-school program consists of three departments with small student groups and high staff presence. You will be responsible for one department and will form a close team with the two educators who are responsible for the other departments. Together, you will have shared responsibility for the after-school program's planning, structure, development, and follow-up. The after-school program team also includes school support pedagogues and student assistants, who bring valuable experience of the students and the program. As a certified after-school program teacher, you will contribute your specific expertise and have a central role in the after-school program's continued development. In your department, you plan and organize teaching, create clear structures, and follow up on work based on the curriculum and students' needs. You will not have personnel management responsibility, but you will lead school support pedagogues and student assistants in the pedagogical activities. Teaching in the after-school program may look different than in many other settings. Through presence, responsiveness, communication support, and predictability, you create accessible activities that increase students' participation, communication, independence, and ability to influence their free time. It is a challenging and very rewarding assignment where your expertise makes a concrete difference every day. The other part of your position is teaching physical education and health. You plan, implement, and follow up on accessible teaching that gives students the opportunity to develop joy in movement, participation, and confidence in their own abilities. Teaching is adapted to students' motor, cognitive, and communicative conditions. As an after-school program teacher, you are part of the school's pedagogical faculty and have planning time for both parts of your role. You participate in the school's development group for after-school program teaching, which meets every week and has extended planning time before school breaks. Several of the school year's study days are shared with the school's teachers, while others are specifically directed toward the after-school program's mission. Qualifications We are looking for you who are a certified teacher with certification to teach in an after-school program. To take on this role, you need to have experience working in a special education elementary school or equivalent setting with students who have extensive and persistent support needs. You are familiar with the after-school program's governing documents and have knowledge of the special education elementary school's curriculum, systematic quality work, and accessible learning environments. Since part of the position includes teaching physical education and health, it is meritorious if you have certification in the subject. It is also meritorious if you have knowledge of intellectual disabilities, autism, and AAC. At the same time, we value a willingness to learn and develop, and for the right person there is support, time, and good opportunities for professional development in these areas. As a person, you are confident in your role as an after-school program teacher and can make the after-school program's teaching and goals clear even in a setting with many adults and multiple professional roles. You work in a structured manner, can translate governing documents into concrete and feasible planning, and have the ability to lead other adults without being their supervisor. You can both hold firm to a shared direction and adapt your approach when students' needs require it. You are present, persistent, and responsive and have an easy way of collaborating with students, colleagues, and guardians. You see learning as a whole where school and after-school care together create conditions for the student's development, communication, participation, and independence. We place great emphasis on personal suitability and your willingness to contribute to a respectful, curious, and solution-oriented work environment. We warmly welcome your application!
