Class Teacher Cycle 3, 15 to 17 Lessons

Department: Education and Housing

Start date: from August 1, 2026

What you can achieve with us

Day off: Monday

The students in the class have visual impairments, are blind and/or on the autism spectrum. You plan the level-appropriate lessons according to Curriculum 21 and conduct them. You receive support in the lessons from a pedagogical staff member as well as through close collaboration within the Cycle 3 team. In particular, you are responsible for the subjects Math, NMG, M&I, 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 student files and preparing reports also belong to your area of responsibility. Furthermore, you conduct progress meetings, participate in working groups and cross-class projects, and help organize special weeks.

What you bring with you

You hold an EDK-recognized diploma in school special education, a primary teaching certificate, or are studying for a Bachelor in Primary Education or a Master in School Special Education. Ideally, you already have experience teaching students in Cycle 3 on the autism spectrum or with visual impairments. You approach challenges, such as those presented by students from the autism spectrum (AS) and visual impairments, with the necessary professionalism and calm. You enjoy working with a committed team and contributing to a trusting and supportive climate.
Due to the team composition, we especially welcome applications from men.

What you can look forward to

In your role, you take on a lot of responsibility and receive the corresponding scope for creativity.

Our culture is characterized by appreciation and openness. You work in a motivated and well-coordinated team.

Our employment conditions, based on cantonal framework conditions, are also attractive. Learn more about this in our flyer. PDF
