1 position(s). Here you will work with smaller student groups where relationships, structure, and individualized learning are at the center. You will be part of a competent and engaged organization where your special education expertise is valued and makes a real difference every day for our students. We work long-term and close to the students, based on each individual's development. Together we create a school where every student has the right conditions to succeed. Your Responsibilities You are responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on instruction based on students' individual needs and curriculum objectives. You assess learning, identify areas for development, and design instruction that is accessible, structured, and motivating. Teaching takes place both individually and in small groups, with a focus on inspiring motivation, building independence, and developing further on students' strengths and interests. The subject classes consist of approximately 10–12 students and are often multi-age. In the subject area classes, approximately 5–7 students attend, with individualized instruction focused on communication, life skills, and the student's overall development. Collaboration is an integral part of the role, and together with student services, colleagues, and teaching assistants, you conduct preventive and supportive work to create the best possible conditions. Your Qualifications You have a genuine commitment to students in need of special support and meet each individual with responsiveness, structure, and clear expectations. You are confident in your professional role, see possibilities, and adapt your working methods based on the student's circumstances. You hold a teaching license and have completed or are completing specialized education as a special education teacher with a focus on intellectual disabilities (IF). Experience working in adapted primary schools is a merit, but we also welcome newly qualified teachers. With us, you will receive support, mentoring, and a structured introduction to your role. What We Offer You will work in an organization with strong commitment, where your expertise is valued and where you have the opportunity to be an important part of developing adapted primary education. You will have the opportunity to work relationally and with individualized instruction in small student groups, and your work makes a significant difference for our students. The work environment is characterized by close collaboration and accessible leadership. You will also be offered collegial networks for special education teachers for professional exchange. Here you become part of something bigger! With warmth and respect, we demonstrate effectiveness in both major and minor matters. We live our values in our interactions with each other and those we serve. Every day, year-round, we ensure that Västerås functions.
