RESPONSIBILITIES As a deputy principal, you are a central part of the school's management and work closely with the principal and your fellow deputy principal to lead and develop the operations. The role involves clear and present leadership, both in daily work and in the school's long-term development. In Säter Municipality, deputy principals also have delegated personnel responsibility. You will have personnel responsibility for the lower grades, including after-school activities, which involves recruitment, employee discussions, skills development, and salary conversations. You are also responsible for delegated work environment tasks within the lower grades and after-school area, ensuring that systematic work environment efforts are followed up and developed. You will follow up and develop the quality of instruction and ensure that policy documents, guidelines, and school goals are adhered to. In close collaboration with the student health team, you work to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment. You will coordinate scheduling, staffing, and administrative processes within your area of responsibility together with the administrator who is the school's scheduler, with support from your management team colleagues. The role also includes driving, managing, and supporting school development work, both independently and in collaboration with school management and employees. You will build and maintain good relationships with students, guardians, and external partners. When needed, you will function as acting principal and contribute to a stable, clear, and well-functioning school leadership.

You have a good ability to lead and motivate staff, build trusting relationships, and translate policy documents, school law, and other regulations into practice. The role also requires good administrative skills and experience working structured with follow-up, documentation, and analysis, as well as the ability to drive and coordinate development work. You express yourself well verbally and in writing. It is meritorious if you have completed or started principal training, as well as having experience in student health work and close collaboration with student health teams. Experience in preschool-grade 3 or after-school programs is an advantage, as the position is focused on lower grades and after-school activities.
