About the job

Class Teacher Cycle 3, 7 Lessons / 0.5 KLP

Department: Education and Living, School for the Visually Impaired

Start Date: By arrangement

What you can achieve with us

The pupils in the class have a visual impairment, are blind and/or on the autism spectrum. You plan the stage-appropriate teaching according to Curriculum 21 and carry it out. You receive support in teaching from a pedagogical staff member as well as through close collaboration within the Cycle 3 team. In particular, you are responsible for the subjects NMG, German and IVE. Individual educational and support plans, which you create, serve as the basis for your teaching. In addition, you supervise the pedagogical team, ensure coordination work and maintain contact with the guardians and external specialist agencies. Administrative tasks such as maintaining the children's files and preparing reports are also part of your duties. Furthermore, you conduct progress meetings, participate in working groups and cross-class projects, and help organise special weeks. 

What you bring with you

You hold an EDK-recognised diploma in school special education, a primary or secondary teaching certificate, or are studying for a Bachelor in Primary Education or a Master in School Special Education. Ideally, you already have experience teaching pupils in Cycle 3 who are on the autism spectrum or visually impaired children. You approach challenges, such as those arising from pupils on the autism spectrum (AS) and with visual impairments, with the necessary professionalism and calm. You enjoy working with a committed team and contributing to a trusting and supportive atmosphere.

What you can look forward to

Our culture is characterised by appreciation and openness. We foster a family-like atmosphere, support each other and develop together.
In your role, you take on a lot of responsibility and receive the corresponding scope for creativity.
You are part of a well-coordinated, professional team that supports each other and learns from one another. We exchange ideas in regular meetings. Informal events such as team outings or annual celebrations also have their place with us.
