Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions.

We work for everyone living here today and in the future. Now we are looking for you who want to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Welcome to us!

RSU Södermalm-Skarpnäck is a regional special education group for students who, for a period, need a different context to advance their social development and learning.

We are located in our own newly renovated and purpose-adapted premises on Högbergsgatan in Södermalm and are part of Åsö primary school's responsibility. RSU provides targeted support for all municipal schools from the two districts for students in grades 4-9. The operation has a group for grades 4-6 aimed at students with high problematic absenteeism, currently with 10 students. The other group, grades 6-9, is aimed at students with high norm-breaking behavior, currently with 11 students.

In the RSU group, students are offered a smaller context with an adapted learning environment and individualized schoolwork in smaller groups. Students study according to the primary school's curriculum. A total of 4 teachers (two with special educational competence), 2 counselors, and 1 leisure leader and 1 career counselor work part-time.

Job Responsibilities

We have a basic setup that is based on clarity and foresight that helps the student to get started with their schoolwork. We have close cooperation with guardians and the home school and a focus on the student receiving tools, and practicing a lot with these tools, to handle previously difficult situations. We work with individually tailored setups combined with social and pedagogical training in groups. We are looking for someone who wants to be part of our work with students' behavioral development.
