Vacant job

Description

As a school psychologist, you will play an important role in Vänersborg Municipality's child and student health work and school development.

You will work proactively and preventively to create a good environment for students' health, learning, and development. The work is varied and will involve many important contacts with both internal and external stakeholders. You will belong to the Child and Student Health team and report to the head of child and student health. The Child and Student Health team is a separate unit within Vänersborg Municipality's Department of Education. We have approximately 45 employees represented by school psychologists, school nurses, school doctors, school social workers, speech therapists, and roles focused on collaboration.

Responsibilities

Central to the work of a school psychologist is applying psychological knowledge to practical use in collaboration with educators and other professionals. Collaboration with other stakeholders, both internally and externally, is an important aspect of the work. The school psychologist has an established role within child and student health work, and their expertise is a vital part of the interprofessional effort.

The specific tasks are varied and include, in addition to work in child and student health teams, providing consultative support to educators and other professionals regarding learning difficulties, problematic behaviors, and group development, conducting assessments and evaluations, educational initiatives, and participating in the municipality's and units' systematic quality work. We are constantly working to develop our methods so that the Child and Student Health team becomes more involved at an early stage regarding additional adaptations for children and students in need of support. Within the school psychologist group, we work according to common routines to increase equity and systematic approaches within and between units. The school psychologist group also works to make low-arousal responses and collaborative problem-solving methods integral to the operations. The school psychologist group holds regular meetings within their category.
