Specialist school teacher 100% — Adolescent class

How to encourage an adolescent to engage in learning, take initiative or gain autonomy? By taking over an already established class, you will rely on the pupils’ reference points and the team’s observations to propose activities that make sense to them, both in class and in their daily lives.

Your role

• Take over the class by building on the routines, resources and objectives already in place, then develop them according to the pupils’ needs.
• Design and lead learning situations adapted to the skills, interests and pace of each adolescent.
• Define individualised educational objectives, observe progress and adjust your teaching throughout the year.
• Work in tandem with the class educator to coordinate academic learning and educational goals, particularly regarding communication, group participation and autonomy.
• Ensure pedagogical follow-up and collaborate with families and other professionals supporting the pupils.

What you bring

• Training in specialised teaching or a qualification corresponding to the job requirements.
• Experience with pupils presenting autism spectrum disorder, ideally during adolescence.
• Good knowledge of approaches that facilitate access to learning, such as environmental structuring, visual supports and alternative and augmentative communication.
• Experience with pupils presenting intellectual developmental disorder is an asset.
• The ability to adjust your educational proposals based on your observations and to work closely with the educational team.

What we offer you

• A class that already has its reference points, on which you can rely to find your bearings and develop educational projects.
• Work in tandem with the educator, within a multidisciplinary team with whom you can share your observations and build responses adapted to the pupils.
• A work organisation that follows the rhythm of the school year.
• Working conditions according to the Social CCT Vaud.
• A working environment set in the heart of nature.
