AKG Sweden is looking for an Educator for value-creating assignments - IPSU!
AKG Sweden AB (formerly Jobfind Sweden) is a dynamic company that has grown rapidly, from about 15 employees in 2023 to over 170 engaged colleagues today. As part of the Angus Knight Group, a global player in education, employment, and community services, we are dedicated to making a positive difference for individuals and communities. We work to broaden participants' perspectives on the labor market and career opportunities, focusing on their needs and development.

IPSU - Individual Pedagogical Support in Education is a valuable and qualitative service procured by the Public Employment Service with the ultimate goal of taking strategic responsibility within labor market policy by enabling more individuals to succeed in education in various shortage occupations.

To make educational initiatives accessible for job seekers with disabilities, the Public Employment Service offers, with the help of our initiatives, special pedagogical support in the form of IPSU. Read more about the assignment here.

As an IPSU educator, you will work closely with our participants under the guidance of our special educator. The assignments vary greatly, and it can involve a pedagogical setup where you meet the participant several hours each day or just a few hours per week.

The pedagogical support for each participant takes place at various educational providers, which means a varied and developing workday, so it is important that you enjoy a changing work situation. In some educational settings, part of the lessons takes place outdoors.

Your task is to help the participant achieve the conditions necessary to succeed in their studies through special pedagogical methods and the use of technical aids, apps, etc. You are a complement to the regular teachers and are not expected to teach or be knowledgeable in the subjects of the current curriculum.

The role generally involves:
• Educational work to support (1) participants in an educational situation
• Collaboration and dialogue with staff from various actors providing the educational initiatives relevant to our participants, e.g., teachers from labor market training providers
• Participation in collegial forums, follow-ups, and quality work
• Collaboration and dialogue with the various actors providing the educational initiatives relevant to our participants, e.g., teachers from labor market training providers, folk high schools, and preparatory education
• Collaboration with responsible specialists such as audiologists, special educators, vision pedagogues, sign language competence, or licensed occupational therapists
• Reporting and documentation of completed initiatives in various systems

Your workday will be flexible, challenging, and highly value-creating!

At AKG Sweden, we work in teams, and you will be part of a collegial forum where development and collaboration are natural elements of the workday. To thrive with us, we believe you enjoy testing different approaches and methods for ongoing evaluation and that you are comfortable working independently as well as being part of a team.

Since the role involves many contacts within and outside the organization, you need to have an easy time establishing trusting relationships with people.

At AKG Sweden, there is an expectation that each employee, i.e., YOU, takes responsibility for increasing your self-awareness regarding the conditions you need to thrive and succeed in your work – and dare to communicate these to your colleagues. Together, we can achieve most things!
