Teacher for maternity leave substitute for the special department at Skjoldhøj School

Are you passionate about creating strong learning communities for students with special needs? Do you have a major in mathematics and English, and are you motivated to make a difference for children who need clear and present adults? Then it may be you we are looking for to our special department at Skjoldhøjskolen.

About the job

We are seeking a teacher for a parental leave replacement position with commencement on 1 December 2026.

The position is located in our special department for 3rd and 8th grade, where you will be attached to two special classes. Your primary teaching subjects will be mathematics, English and h/d.

In the special department we work purposefully to create participation opportunities, learning and well-being for students with specific and general learning difficulties, ADHD and autism. Our students need clear structures, safe relationships and teaching that takes their individual prerequisites and potentials as its starting point.

Your profile

We expect you to be an engaged and academically ambitious teacher who is passionate about teaching and developing all students' learning opportunities.

We emphasize that you

• see potentials rather than limitations in children and young people
• work systematically with classroom management, structure and pre-understanding
• can set clear learning goals and evaluate the effect of your teaching based on data
• have experience with or an interest in special educational interventions
• can create recognizability, predictability and safe learning environments
• work affirmatively and with relational competence
• can handle conflicts professionally and calmly

Experience with the target group is an important prerequisite. We work from the Low Arousal approach, and conflict management will therefore be a natural part of your daily life.

Why you should choose us

At Skjoldhøjskolen we have 18 general classes and 13 special classes with about 460 students in total.

We are a school where the general and special areas are closely linked. Many staff teach across departments, and our classes are door to door. Therefore you will become part of a united school community with strong professional relationships.

Together with colleagues, management, students and parents you will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of a school where both learning and well-being are in focus.

We have a particular focus on strengthening professional collaboration through collective mastery. You will become part of a team where we develop teaching together, investigate the effect of our

practice and are curious about both our own and colleagues' professionalism. We practice every day to make each other better.

We meet students who are open, positive and full of possibilities. At the same time we meet students who need clear adults who will do something with and for them. It is precisely here that we succeed best.

Employment is in accordance with the applicable collective agreement for teachers.
