Vacant job

Do you want to make a difference? 19,916 students did not pass primary school in Sweden during the 2023/2024 school year. There are schools where 7 out of 10 students do not achieve eligibility for upper secondary school. At the non-profit foundation Läxhjälpen, you contribute your skills and commitment to help more students meet the eligibility requirements with confidence for the future.

We are now looking for new tutors in Gothenburg for the autumn! We are looking for individuals interested in a paid part-time job while also wanting to make a tangible social impact. The position is a part-time employment in the afternoons/evenings and essentially involves being a tutor after school at one of our partner schools. With us, you work in teams of three tutors, all of whom are university students. You will receive training in and work according to our structured approach. Each tutoring group consists of 15 students, and together with your colleagues, you are responsible for planning, executing, and following up on the work.

As a tutor, you can either work as a regular tutor or as a substitute. As a regular tutor, you work 6 hours a week spread over two scheduled afternoons/evenings (with the possibility of extra shifts). As a substitute, you work when the regular tutor is on leave or sick. The work is carried out after school hours in the school's premises.

We are looking for someone who:

-Is a university, college, or vocational school student

-Has pedagogical skills and can communicate and build relationships with children and young people.

-Is solution-oriented, takes initiative, and can work according to our structured approach and method.

-Has broad basic subject competence and good study techniques.

-Shares the values and vision of Läxhjälpen for a society where all children grow up with the conditions to succeed in school and shape their own future.

Since the job involves working with children, we place great importance on personal suitability. A police record extract for the employer is a legal requirement to work with children and young people.

About us

The differences between schools, where you live, where you come from, and what your parents do increasingly determine how likely you are to succeed in school. The foundation Läxhjälpen is a non-profit organization that operates where it is needed most. Tutoring is free for students, and the salaries of the tutors are funded through support from the business community and the public sector.

Läxhjälpen is a concrete initiative that tackles one of Sweden's biggest problems today - that more and more young people are not succeeding in school and risk falling outside society. Carefully selected, paid university students help young people with their studies two evenings a week while also serving as positive role models and mentors. Since our inception in 2007, we have developed a structured approach and a clear goal - to raise grades and help students progress to upper secondary school. We are currently in over 100 schools in Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Gothenburg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, Mora, and Malmö.
