Do you want to make a difference?

Nearly 20,000 students did not complete primary school in Sweden during the 2024/2025 academic year. There are schools where 7 out of 10 students do not achieve eligibility for upper secondary school. At the non-profit Foundation Homework Help, you contribute your skills and commitment to help more students meet eligibility requirements with confidence for the future.

We are now looking for new homework helpers in Östersund! We are looking for you who are interested in a paid part-time job and at the same time want to make a concrete social contribution. The position is a part-time employment in the afternoons/evenings and involves, in short, being a homework helper after school hours at one of our partner schools. With us, you work in a team of three homework helpers, all of whom are university students. You will receive training in, and work based on, our structured approach. Each homework help group consists of 15 students, and together with your colleagues, you are responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on the work.

As a homework helper, you can either work as a regular homework helper or as a substitute. As a regular homework helper, you work 6 hours a week spread over two scheduled afternoons/evenings (there is an opportunity for extra shifts). As a substitute, you work when the regular homework helper is on leave or sick. The work is carried out after school hours in the school's premises.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is a university or college student
• Has pedagogical skills and can communicate and build relationships with children and young people.
• Is solution-oriented, takes initiative, and can work based on our structured approach and method.
• Has broad basic subject competence and good study techniques.
• Shares the Foundation Homework Help's values and vision of a society where all children grow up with the conditions to succeed in school and shape their own future.

As the job involves working with children, we place great emphasis on personal suitability. Presentation of an extract from the police criminal record for the employer is a legal requirement to work with children and young people.

The differences between schools, where you live, where you come from, and what your parents do for a living increasingly determine how likely you are to succeed in school. The Foundation Homework Help is a non-profit foundation that operates where it is needed most. Homework Help is free for students, and the salaries of the homework helpers are financed through support from the business community and the public sector.

Homework Help is a concrete initiative that addresses one of Sweden's biggest problems today - that more and more young people are not succeeding in school and risk falling outside of society. Carefully selected, paid university students help young people with their studies two evenings a week and are also positive role models and mentors. Since our inception in 2007, we have developed a structured approach and a clear goal - grades should improve, and students should progress to upper secondary school. We are currently in over 100 schools in Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Gothenburg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
