About the Workplace
At Burgården, we educate for real life, and just like in reality, our school is a vibrant world with many specializations, people, and encounters. We offer vocational programs, college preparatory programs, and introductory programs. With us, you have the opportunity to grow in your profession and be an important part of our development journey to become an even better school. We work with an open mind, a big heart, and professional pride that is contagious. We are a multicultural school with students from all districts and surrounding municipalities. Here, future hairdressers, hair and makeup stylists, barbers, and fashion designers move alongside social scientists, nursing assistants, childcare workers, support assistants, natural scientists, and animal care professionals.
In our work, we have a clear student focus that places knowledge and skills in a context where intrinsic motivation, co-creation, and a desire to learn are important ingredients. We work based on the equal value and rights of all people. Together, we create a work environment where both students and employees are engaged and work toward each other's success.
Job Responsibilities
We are now looking for a substitute teacher in Swedish and English for the care and social services program. In your role as a teacher, you will teach and work with a student group that during their secondary education is prepared for work within care and social services, but you may also work parts of the position in other programs at the school. Your role, in addition to teaching, is to also support students as a mentor by having knowledge of their needs, following their studies, and being involved in the goal of helping them achieve their secondary education diploma. You have experience and a strong ability to collaborate with teachers, student support services, employers, and families for the student's benefit.
As a teacher at Burgårdens gymnasium, you will be part of a whole where we work together so that students reach their full potential both in school and in their professional practice.
You should be clear and structured. Furthermore, you need good social competence, be flexible, have great patience, and be persistent. You need the ability to motivate and convince as well as find new paths and solutions to help students reach their goals. To work with young people, it is important that you are a role model and a boundary-setting adult and that you practice relational classroom leadership.
Qualifications
We are primarily looking for someone who is qualified to teach Swedish and English at the secondary level, but we also welcome applications from those with ongoing teacher education. As a teacher, you have patience and understanding for all individuals' different circumstances. You are also skilled at finding individualized solutions so that students can reach their goals. As a colleague, you are flexible and self-driven, but also enjoy working in a team with other colleagues. You are passionate about helping students structure their work and develop their potential.
Do not delay your application; interviews are conducted on an ongoing basis.
Conditions
For your interview, you need to bring a passport/national ID and possibly proof of residence permit if you have citizenship outside the EU/EES. This is so that we as an employer can ensure your identity and verify that you have the right to work in Sweden.
With reference to the laws governing background checks, anyone offered this position must provide a criminal record extract before an employment contract can be established.
For positions where there are educational requirements, those who advance in the recruitment process will be asked to submit documentation proving your education, such as a license or diploma. You can also attach them directly to your application.
