Vacant job

As it is vacation season, we will be handling applications sporadically during the summer. Responses to applications will be sent out no earlier than the end of week 32. 

We are looking for dedicated and competent resource educators who want to support, motivate, and encourage students with NPF diagnoses and intellectual disabilities in both schoolwork and social situations during the short-term absence of regular staff.

You will participate in the implementation of teaching and support students during breaks and in schedule-breaking activities. Close collaboration with teachers is crucial to creating an effective and supportive learning environment. You will also work in after-school care and KTT according to the curriculum goals and individual implementation plans.

Your background

To thrive with us, we believe you are driven and curious, with a strong desire to continue developing. You should see challenges as opportunities rather than problems, and you have a great commitment to the students. You also believe in every student's right to develop as far as possible. We believe you have an interest in building good relationships with both students and guardians to best meet the students in their everyday lives. We prefer that you have experience working with children and adolescents with NPF diagnoses and intellectual disabilities, as well as knowledge of low-arousal approaches and other methods that support students' learning and social development.

Expectations

We value personal competence and are looking for someone who is independent, driven, and flexible with a solution-focused attitude. You should be curious with good collaboration skills and the ability to create and maintain relationships. It is important that you can be trustworthy and responsive to the students' needs.

The students have a social context in class, but many students need one-on-one teaching for most of the school day. The class team works in teams and rotates among all students in the classes. The work requires great flexibility, as the students have significant individual needs and varying conditions. Your tasks include planning and implementing meaningful activities for the students during the school day. You are responsible for supervision and safety throughout the day. 

As a person, you are unpretentious and believe in collaboration. For you, good and trusting relationships with management, colleagues, guardians, and students are important. You share our values Forward, Together with Heart and Wisdom.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who wants to work as a resource educator and has a high school diploma in either the Child and Recreation Program, Nursing Program, or assistant training through YH. We prefer that you have good computer skills and knowledge of Microsoft Office 365.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
