About the job

Co-Class Teacher Cycle 2, 12 Lessons

Department: Education and Housing

Start date: 1 August 2026

What you can achieve with us

The children in the class are on the autism spectrum with and without visual impairment and are all taught in a 1:1 setting. The pupils are taught in their workrooms and spend only short periods in group settings. You will be supported in the implementation of teaching by a pedagogical team for which you will take on the pedagogical leadership.

You plan age-appropriate teaching according to Curriculum 21 and carry it out together with the team. 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 help organise special weeks.

What you bring with you

You hold an EDK-recognised diploma in School Special Education, a primary teaching certificate or are studying for a Master’s in School Special Education. Ideally, you already have experience teaching pupils on the autism spectrum with challenging behaviour or visually impaired children. You approach challenges, such as those presented by pupils 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 atmosphere.

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 characterised by appreciation and openness. You work in a motivated and well-coordinated team. Regular meetings, supervisions and professional consultations are part of this position.
The salary is based on the cantonal teacher employment law. Our other employment conditions, aligned with cantonal framework conditions, are also attractive. Learn more about this on our website.
