School Center

Ådalskolen seeks two community-oriented, engaged and academically strong special school teachers who will help show that potential exists in all children?

One position is in our 1st grade, where the teacher who has held the role since the summer holidays will take on other tasks at the school from 1/12-26. The other position will replace the teacher in our 4th grade, as the teacher goes on maternity leave from 1/1-27.

We are a special school for students with profound physical and mental disabilities, including communication difficulties, autism, developmental disorders, developmental delay as well as diagnoses and syndromes to varying degrees. With us you become part of an interdisciplinary environment where we place a high value on well-being, high professional standards and the individual child's unique potential.

You will become part of a very special community. A community that you can feel when you walk through the doors of our school. We can say it as it is: we are a special provision with an important agenda. We know that development requires trust, and we make an effort to deserve it. Students and parents should be able to count on us, so we say what we mean – and do what we say.
