Educator – create learning for children with special needs

Would you like

To work with children with special needs?

To create learning in a broad learning perspective?

To be part of a colleague group where there is a focus on both professional reflection and psychological well-being at work?

It's about the children

We are a special primary school for pupils with lasting impairments and a need for special frameworks to support their learning, development and well-being.

We are a school with an educational and professional environment where staff and management think differently and broadly in relation to the pupils' learning. We work on developing each pupil's learning potential based on their competencies and prerequisites.

Our core task: We create security, well-being and development, so that every pupil gets the best prerequisites for

to succeed academically, socially and personally – in school and in life

We are about 156 pupils and 155 staff, and you will become part of a cross-disciplinary environment where we collaborate on the pupils' learning, well-being and personal mastery in Professional Learning Communities.

As an educator you will be a major part of both planning and execution of teaching, in collaboration with your team.

We also function as an education institution for student teachers.

Start well and safely

At Lundagerskolen we work with children and youths who can exhibit outward behavior – also towards staff. We take this seriously. Therefore we have clear procedures and common agreements for how we handle situations where a pupil becomes challenged or acts out. You must feel secure in your work and know that you never stand alone.

We have a strong focus on Low Arousal and trauma-informed psychology, and we provide you from the start with concrete methods and tools to understand and handle challenging situations even if you have no prior experience.

Whether you are newly educated or an experienced educator we offer

• an introductory program
• a mentoring arrangement
• tight sparring with colleagues and management
• opportunities for professional development
• a working environment where we prioritise both professional reflection and well-being

We are looking for an educator who

• Is professionally solid and maintains ongoing focus on developing the pupils' learning
• Can collaborate to create structured everyday life with predictability that meets the pupils' individual needs.
• Can collaborate with colleagues, parents, external partners and management to solve the core task.
• Can think broadly regarding the pupils' learning
• Has a development-oriented, creative and playful approach to learning.
• Can participate in the work with personal care for the pupils who need it.

We place great emphasis on your universal human qualifications and seek a person who with commitment, drive and good humor can join the overall staff group and contribute to us continuing to offer a developing environment where the children's learning and well-being are top of the agenda.
