Teaching will be across the SA, NA, and IMA programs with groups of about 10 students. Students' school days are between 08:30-15:00 and teachers have school holiday employment.

We work intensively to find teaching models and develop a clarifying pedagogical approach that suits our students, and there are great opportunities to influence working methods and approaches. Our students need help structuring their studies, and you will be supported in teaching by an established team including a special education teacher, counselors, and experienced, trained resource teachers. Among your colleagues are licensed and experienced pedagogues in the aforementioned subjects who have worked in the organization for a long time.

You should appreciate close collaboration with your colleagues and have a strong interest and commitment to the school's students. You should also be interested in pedagogical development, as we spend a lot of time finding the path to each student's learning. The school works with a digital learning platform to facilitate and develop pedagogy as well as create structure and clarity. Therefore, experience with digital tools such as Office 365 is also a merit. Our students need to interact with as few people as possible during their school day. This means a small organization where we work closely with each other and our students, making employees' personal qualities very important.

Many of our students face difficulties with traditional teaching. Therefore, we are looking for an innovative and creative educator interested in developing new strategies in teaching. Someone who is responsive to students' needs. It is meritorious if you have training in the autism spectrum (ASD) or documented experience working with our student group, beyond meeting individual students with ASD in regular classes.
