Our appreciated counselors are leaving us to build a school social team in Sundsvall – now we are looking for you who want to take over and continue developing the student health work at Arenaskolan!

Arenaskolan is a secondary school for grades 7–9 with both regular and adapted primary school.

We work with good management, clear structures, and a strong culture of collaboration to give our students the best conditions for success.

Your mission

As a school counselor at Arenaskolan, you will be part of the school's student health team and collaborate with school management, educators, and other student health professionals to support students' development towards the school's goals.

You will work proactively, preventively, and remedially at the organizational, group, and individual levels from a psychosocial and salutogenic perspective.

• Leading and supporting colleagues in preventive and promotional work.
• Participating in the school's work with accessible learning environments, adapted teaching, and value-based work.
• Working to prevent and manage discrimination and abusive treatment.

We prefer that you have:

• Experience in therapeutic work with children and adolescents.
