Härryda Municipality

Härryda Municipality consists of the areas Mölnlycke, Landvetter, Härryda, Hindås, Rävlanda, and Hällingsjö. From central Gothenburg to the central location of Mölnlycke, it is a ten-minute drive, and you can get here in 15 minutes by bus from Korsvägen. The municipality has about 40,000 inhabitants. The proximity to both nature and the city attracts many to settle here. The municipality has a high influx of families with children and is a child-friendly and expanding part of the Gothenburg region. Approximately 2,700 people work in the municipal administration.

Your Mission

As a school speech therapist, you are part of a central student health team and primarily work in health promotion and prevention to support students' development towards educational goals. Together with speech therapy colleagues and the unit manager, you identify needs and plan, implement, and evaluate systematic interventions to increase linguistic and communicative accessibility and strengthen the implementation of evidence-based methods in the various learning environments of the operations. The work is done at the individual level as well as at the group and organizational levels, based on the needs of the operations. A particular focus moving forward is to contribute through structured interventions to ensure that our students develop good language, reading, and writing skills, and to increase accessibility for students with disabilities that affect language and communication.

Your Main Responsibilities Include:

• Professional development for staff.

• Supporting schools in the implementation of evidence-based methods (such as methods within AAC and phonics) and systematic work with students' language, reading, and writing development.
• Interprofessional collaboration with other professionals in child and student health, principals, and teachers.

It may also involve conducting assessments of students' linguistic and communicative abilities in some cases. You document your individual interventions according to HSL in the Prorenata journal system. The principals lead the student health work in the schools, and you will collaborate with student health professionals, teachers, other school staff, and other stakeholders.

The Speech Therapy Team meets weekly for joint work on operational, development, and patient safety issues. The Psychologically and Speech Therapy Responsible (PLA/LLA) is tasked with supporting the work with processes and routines regarding HSL interventions.
