JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Kompassen is one of the city's municipal operations that receives students with neuropsychiatric disabilities. The school is geographically located in Björkekärr. We cater to students in primary school from grades 1-9 and have about 50 students distributed across seven mixed-age classes. We also offer after-school care after the school day ends. The students in our operation all have a diagnosis of autism, and most have an additional diagnosis within NPF.

We are now looking for a teaching assistant for a permanent position. You will work in a team together with teachers and other support staff. As a person, you need to be alert and ready to step in and resolve conflicts that may arise.

In your role as a teaching assistant, you will work in all classes as a substitute during absences, but with fixed working hours. The work involves low-arousal responses in all situations as you will be working with students with autism.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone with a high school education, preferably with a focus on children and leisure or another equivalent education. Experience working with students with autism and additional diagnoses is considered an advantage. Experience from an SU group in primary school is strongly meritorious, as is experience with low-arousal responses. You express yourself fluently in Swedish, both spoken and written.

You have the ability to work collaboratively with others to perform tasks and achieve goals. By being interested and creating understanding for others, you contribute to a respectful work environment. You understand the common mission, act accordingly, and contribute to the whole.

You gain energy from contributing to others' learning and create conditions for learning to occur. You have the ability to explain problems and information to different recipients and from different perspectives. You encourage dialogue, participation, and engagement.

You listen to others to understand their needs. You actively seek others' opinions and perspectives and are receptive to them by showing respect, consideration, and care. You work for cohesion in the workgroup and see failures as opportunities to learn and create space for dialogue.

Welcome with your application!

The position will be filled subject to it not being claimed for internal reasons.
