Description of the Position 

In your role as a teaching assistant/pedagogue, you will help create a secure foundation for our students who need extraordinary support as well as specially designed pedagogy and social training.  You will be there to support the students throughout the school day. An important part of the job is to stimulate and motivate students to develop their abilities and create opportunities for learning. The work is characterized by low-affect responses, clarifying pedagogy, and alternative communication strategies. You will work to stimulate and challenge the students' development and learning, in close collaboration with colleagues. Your tasks also include everyday chores such as purchasing groceries, kitchen tasks, cleaning, and other practical tasks that may arise. Your working hours will be Mon-Fri 7:45 AM - 12:45 PM (no work during school holidays)

Knowledge, Experience, and Personal Qualities

You have at least a high school education, preferably in health care or childcare/youth and leisure, or other relevant education. It is an advantage if you have experience with low-affect responses, students with neuropsychiatric disabilities, and/or intellectual disabilities.

We are looking for someone who understands differences and is flexible in their thinking. You need to be solution-focused and preferably have experience working in schools and with people with disabilities. You are a responsible, empathetic, and meticulous person who has a genuine interest in supporting people with disabilities. You have a positive attitude, focus on possibilities, and see it as your obvious responsibility to contribute to a positive work environment. You should be able to work both independently and in a team. You need to be in stable condition both physically and mentally as it is important to be able to support the students.

You need to have very good knowledge of Swedish, both written and spoken, this is very important so if you do not meet this criterion, we ask you not to apply for this position. Since the oldest students at the school can be around 20-21 years old, it is an advantage if you are older than them. 

A background check will be conducted in connection with the employment. We recommend that you apply for this now.
