Firkløverskolen seeks teachers for the lower primary and middle grades for the special department at Ikær

Firkløverskolen Give seeks teachers for the lower and middle grades in our special department at Ikær

About us

Firkløverskolen is a public school with about 700 pupils distributed across an ordinary provision and a special provision located on 3 sites:

• Givskud and Ikær, where the pupils attend grades 0-6 with the associated after-school care (SFO).
• Søndermarken, where we gather pupils in grades 7–9.
• The Special Department is from 2027 located at Ikær and Søndermarken

At Firkløverskolen we create a good framework around the children’s everyday life. We believe that all children and youths can learn and that they develop best when they are in community with others. Children and youths do their best when they participate in learning communities if they can. We focus on the children’s potential and resources. We are committed to diverse and strong communities, where we take as our starting point that difference is a strength.

Firkløverskolen has about 45 pupils in total in the special provision. The pupils are divided into age-integrated groups in the 0–3 year group, the 4–6 year group and the 7–9 year group. There is a focus on giving both the pupil group and the individual pupil what is particularly needed. This applies to both personal development, functioning in a social community and academic learning.

Across the special departments, we work to create and develop a child and youth culture, where we adapt and develop communities, environments and teaching in a meaningful universe where it is good to be and to learn.

Our special department in the lower and middle grades counts about 23 pupils distributed in three classes with 11 staff. Here we are looking for a teacher who can participate in and contribute skillfully to the team’s overall work around the three classes’ work.

About the job

The work with the target group is characterized by a high level of complexity. The pupils’ different needs place great demands on your abilities as a teacher. Pedagogically, you must be focused on seeing the pupil’s best intention. The pupils’ different starting points mean that you must have solid subject confidence so that you can skillfully plan varied, respond to what arises and adapt the subject to the pupil.

On that basis, it is a clear advantage to have teaching experience and experience with pupils in vulnerable positions and/or in powerlessness. It is also an advantage if you have experience within the special education field for children and youths and familiarity with general learning difficulties, ADHD and Autism.

We focus on creating a learning environment where the pupils thrive and take care of each other. The goal is for all pupils to have optimal opportunities to learn and become as academically proficient as they can and to have good conditions for life. We create the framework for our pupils to participate in the communities they are part of, and so that they can respect each other’s strengths and challenges. All pupils must leave the school with a high degree of self-esteem.

You will join a team that has full responsibility for the task of the pupil group. The team consists of experienced and capable teachers and pedagogues. The team needs to be complemented by a competent colleague with great interest in and insight into the special educational work.

In the special department we are committed to developing our provision collectively, with particular focus on relationships, structure and mentalizing. We actively work with Vejle Municipality’s “Strategy for Developing Communities”. The work is based on an educational framework where tailored pedagogy and mentalizing are the two central directions.

We look forward to welcoming you to the pupil group and to the colleague community in the special class row as well as to Firkløverskolen as a whole.
