You help, guide, and support the children in everyday situations and participate in the pedagogical work. The regular staff has the ultimate pedagogical responsibility.

Adapted Primary School and After-School Care

Here you work with students with disabilities from preschool class to grade 9. Your role as a substitute is to support a small number of students during their school day, for example during lessons, breaks, meal times, and after-school care. The support you provide is based on each student's needs.
