Your responsibilities

• You are trained as a teacher and can teach mathematics – at AVU level and preferably FVU level.
• You are able to independently plan and carry out your teaching tasks, and you stand solid in your subject knowledge.
• You have a desire to teach inmates who have often lost faith in their own scholarly abilities.
• You can demonstrate tolerance – both professionally and personally – and have a positive view of people, respect for the individual and an interest in crime prevention work.
• You can respect a strictly structured prison environment where order and safety are key words, and where the job requires various security and risk assessments during your workday.
• You can maintain an overview and are responsible, as well as capable of showing determination.
• You are good at communicating with both inmates and colleagues from different professional groups.

About you

You should be keen to work with teaching in a daily life characterized by change and challenges, and with students who differ significantly from many other student groups, but who also provide many positive experiences.

We emphasize that respect for the individual is the starting point, and that work is conducted in a holistic- and solution-oriented manner with regard to the challenges that arise and the tasks that need to be solved.

About the job

Teaching takes place in small groups and in some cases individually. It is planned taking into account the prison’s different regimes and security frameworks. Internet access is limited, which is why teaching mainly takes place in analog form.

As a teacher you are responsible for testing, placement at the right level, teaching in small groups, updating action plans and administrative tasks related to the teaching. It is important that you can create structure, motivation and a safe learning environment where the inmates have the opportunity to develop their academic skills.

You will become part of an interdisciplinary collaboration with fellow teachers, counselors, social workers, prison officers, workshop masters and other professional groups across the prison. Collaboration is central to supporting the inmates' learning and progression.

We offer

• a thorough introduction to the work and the workplace
• to become part of a workplace that pulls together, aimed at making a difference for the inmates
