CENTRAL STUDENT HEALTH

Central Student Health is Ekerö Municipality's central child and student health service. Our operations include school nurses and school doctors, psychologists, speech and special educators, and school social workers. We are also responsible for Ekerö's open preschools. Within the organization, there is also an administrative group consisting of the operations manager, deputy operations managers, and school superintendent.

We believe in you and your abilities – that’s why we give you great freedom in your role. Many who work with us appreciate the trust and responsibility they receive in our municipality, as it contributes to much learning and development in everyday life. To succeed, you need to be confident in yourself, your profession, and have the ability to both take initiative and set boundaries.

If you are eager to work in a health-promoting and preventive capacity towards children and youth, then this is the position for you!

For the upcoming school year, we are looking for a school psychologist substitute. As an employee at Central Student Health, you will have six psychologist colleagues. If you have knowledge in developmental psychology and an interest in creating the best possible conditions for our children's and youth's learning, social development, and health, you will be an asset to us.

Most schools work with a structured student health meeting model, EHM, and being active in that work is a task. We are a student health service that works closely with a focus on promoting and preventive work. Guidance and consultation for educators and school leaders occur, as well as conducting assessments for potential admission to adapted primary school. Temporary training initiatives and crisis management are other examples of tasks you may have with us.

CPS is a municipality-wide approach, and it is Central Student Health that is responsible for professional development.

Furthermore, we have participated in the Minerva study and have since continued to implement PAX in all schools in the municipality, where Central Student Health is responsible for training teachers in PAX.

The psychology group has regular professional meetings, and you will have daily opportunities to meet one or more colleagues. We have external supervision and continuous exchange of experiences.

Qualifications

To succeed in this role, you must be a licensed psychologist with an interest in child and student health work. Further education in supervision methodology and experience working in schools is an advantage.

Do you enjoy working independently and have a good ability to plan and organize your work? Are you flexible and find it easy to collaborate with professionals beyond your own, parents, and other external agencies?
