At Lycksele Municipality, we are convinced that a welcoming approach and shared values strengthen the municipality and its attractiveness. The municipality wants to develop into a welcoming municipality with high appeal, where talent is nurtured and developed and community members, customers, suppliers, and others with whom a municipality has contact receive professional treatment and good service. Lycksele Municipality has a forward-looking mindset, drive, and commitment that propels us forward. Our values are based on Compassion, Together, and Drive. ABOUT THE JOB We are now seeking a Sámi duajjáre/vytnesjæjja/duojár/duodjár to teach within Sámi-integrated handicraft in primary school. The position can be combined with native language instruction. Lycksele is ambitious to be the hub for Västerbotten's inland when it comes to Sámi integration in schools. This includes, among other things, agreements written with the Sámi School Board on Sámi-integrated instruction in primary school. We currently have nine native language teachers in Sámi languages and one duajjáre who also teaches South Sámi as a native language. These form a work team where experience sharing and professional development take place. If your teaching experience is not extensive, you will receive support from experienced colleagues and our lead teacher. Classes are held Tuesday through Thursday and instruction takes place at Finnbackskolan, Norrängsskolan, and Forsdalaskolan. Our ambition to develop Sámi integration is high, and therefore we are looking for you who want to share that ambition with us. As a duajjáre you conduct instruction together with the regular handicraft teacher. This means that the regular handicraft teacher is responsible for grading and planning the instruction. Teaching is directed at students from grades 5 to 9 with varying background knowledge and occurs in full class, smaller groups, and sometimes individually in both hard and soft handicrafts. The position is 50% but can be combined with native language instruction in South or Ume Sámi up to 100%. Native language instruction can be conducted either physically on-site or as distance instruction. This means that instruction 2 days/week can be conducted from a location other than Lycksele. YOUR PROFILE We believe in the right competence in the right place. We are looking for you who have strong knowledge of Sámi culture and who master both soft and hard handicrafts. We would like to see that you have teacher training or equivalent experience from educational activities, but what is most important to us is that you have motivation and interest in teaching students in Sámi handicraft alongside the regular handicraft teacher. Driver's license category B and driving experience are required for the position. To be able to combine the position with assignments as a native language teacher in South or Ume Sámi, you are expected to have strong skills in South or Ume Sámi, as well as strong willingness and great interest in teaching. Teacher or native language teacher training is desirable, as is experience from educational activities or having acquired good pedagogical ability in other ways. We would like to see that you have the ambition to train as a native language teacher if you do not already have that background. It is also important that you have good computer skills if you choose to conduct instruction as distance teaching. For us, it is important that you can meet students based on their different circumstances. You need to have good social skills and courteous behavior. You view the work team as an asset for support and experience sharing, while at the same time having the ability to independently drive and take responsibility for your own instruction and related tasks. We are a values-driven organization and therefore it is important that your conduct and actions align with our values – Compassion, Together, and Drive. Great weight will therefore be placed on personal suitability. WHAT WE OFFER YOU At Lycksele Municipality, people are the primary resource.
