Teacher – 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 focus on both professional reflection and mental work environment?

It’s all about the children

We are a special primary school for students with permanent disabilities and a need for special frameworks to support their learning, development and well-being.

We are a school with a pedagogical and professional environment where employees and management think differently and broadly about the students' learning. We work to develop each student's learning potential based on their competencies and prerequisites.

Our core task: We create safety, well-being and development, so that each student gets the best conditions for

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

We are about 156 students and 155 staff and you will become part of a multidisciplinary environment where we collaborate on students’ learning, well-being and personal mastery in Professional Learning Communities.

Get a good and safe start

At Lundagerskolen we work with children and young people who can have outward-facing behavior – also towards staff. We take that seriously. Therefore we have clear procedures and common agreements for how we handle situations where a student is challenged or acts out. You must feel safe in your work and know that you are never alone.

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

Whether you are a newly graduated or experienced educator, we offer

• an introductory program
• a mentoring scheme
• close sparring with colleagues and management
• opportunity for professional development
• a work environment where we prioritize both professional reflection and well-being

We are looking for a teacher who

• Has experience working with children with autism spectrum disorders or children with general developmental disabilities
• Is professionally and didactically well-founded and has sustained focus on the development of students’ learning.
• Is imaginative and wants to create well-being as the basis for learning and understands that it’s about the students.
• Can collaborate to create a structured everyday life with predictability that meets the students' individual needs.
• Has an understanding of the students’ challenges and can keep calm when they show signs of distress and frustration.
• Can participate in personal care of the students who require it.
• That you have a development-oriented, creative and playful approach to learning.

We place great emphasis on your universal human qualifications and are seeking a person who with engagement, willingness and good humor can join the overall staff group and help ensure that we continue to offer a developing environment where the children’s learning and well-being are top priority.
