About Järva VIP, adapted primary school, adapted secondary school

At Järva VIP, we are proud to offer small teaching groups and a very high staff density. We work in small teams, and the atmosphere is characterized by much laughter, solid collaboration, and a strong community with open communication.

We accept students who study subject areas in adapted primary school (formerly called training school) as well as adapted secondary school (individual program). The students at Järva VIP have a diagnosis of intellectual disability (moderate/severe) in combination with autism (level 3 or 2), which means that the students have a comprehensive need for support in all aspects of the day. Most students also have a speech disorder and often exhibit challenging behaviors. These can include outwardly aggressive behaviors, hyperactivity, and self-harming behaviors.

At Järva VIP, we see the individual student's strengths and abilities. The teaching and other activities during the school day are completely individualized based on the student's conditions, strengths, needs, and daily form. Our fundamental belief is that our students, with the right support, can achieve anything. Our goal is always for the student to achieve as much independence as possible based on their own abilities. We do this by clarifying everyday life and working with the student to find strategies to apply their knowledge. With us, students succeed!

Järva VIP is a small school in Sollentuna, with fantastic nature around the corner. The school has large, fresh facilities, fully adapted and specially built according to the needs of the target group.

Your role In your role as a student assistant, you will follow and support the students throughout the school day and any leisure activities. You help create a sense of security for our students who require extraordinary support. Together with teachers and educators, you will plan and structure the school day based on individually adapted pedagogy, creating predictability and clarity. An important part of the work is to stimulate and motivate students to develop their abilities and create opportunities for learning. We collaborate in work teams to create successful and educational days for our students.

We are looking for you who:

• are flexible and solution-focused

• have a positive outlook and a strong commitment to people

• are responsible and have personal maturity

• enjoy working in a team and supporting your colleagues

We are looking for someone with experience working with children and young people with intellectual disabilities and autism. The job requires good mental presence and a strong sense of responsibility. It is an advantage if you have experience and knowledge of clarifying pedagogy (e.g., visual support and sign communication), low-arousal approaches, and challenging behaviors. We prefer that you have a relevant education (social worker, behavioral scientist, student assistant/child caregiver, etc.).

It is important that you are confident in yourself and your role as we work with children/youth with severe challenging behaviors, such as physically aggressive behavior.

Good knowledge of Swedish is a requirement, as we have students who are in great need of clear communication. We place great importance on personal suitability. For us, competence is as much about potential, values, and motivation as it is about education, experience, and factual knowledge. If you have the right qualities, we will provide you with support and opportunities to grow.

We now need to fill a temporary position; the job is 90-100% for 6-12 months with the possibility of a permanent position.
