Engstrandskolen is looking for a Reception Class Assistant

Would you like to work in a strong year group team, where close collaboration, camaraderie and children's well-being go hand in hand?

At Engstrandskolen we are looking for a kindergarten class assistant who is passionate about creating high well-being and good learning environments for the school's youngest students. We are a school with a strong focus on collaboration, both in daily teaching, in joint activities within the year group and in the close interaction between school and SFO.

At Engstrandskolen we believe that children learn and develop best in safe communities where relationships, curiosity and participation are central. Therefore we work in the lower primary with a flexible organization, where classes and students are part of a larger year-group community and meet varied learning environments through project work, workshop teaching and common activities. Our teaching starts from the children's different prerequisites, and we plan learning activities that allow for both deepening, movement, creativity and strong participation opportunities for all children.

We attach great importance to the collaboration between the professionals around the children. Therefore kindergarten-class teachers, assistants and pedagogues work closely together on planning, implementation and evaluation of teaching. We see the diversity in employees' competencies as a strength and believe that shared responsibility, professional sparring and a high degree of collaboration create the best conditions for children's well-being and learning. In our kindergarten classes there are two adults present all school day, which for the students is from 8:15 to 13:00.
