Vacant job

Do you want to make a difference? 19,916 students did not pass elementary school in Sweden during the 2023/2024 school year. There are schools where 7 out of 10 students do not meet the requirements for high school eligibility. At the non-profit Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen, you contribute your skills and commitment to help more students achieve the eligibility requirements with confidence for the future.

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

As a tutor, you can either work as a regular tutor or a substitute. As a regular tutor, 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 tutor is on leave or sick. The work is performed after school 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, proactive, and can work according to our structured approach and methodology.
• Has broad fundamental subject knowledge and good study techniques.
• Shares the values and vision of Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen for 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 importance on personal suitability. Providing a police clearance certificate for the employer is a legal requirement for working with children and young people.

The differences between schools, where you live, where you come from, and what your parents do increasingly determine the likelihood of your success in school. Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen is a non-profit foundation that operates where it is needed the most. Tutoring is free for students, and the salaries of the tutors are funded through support from the business community and the public sector.

Läxhjälpen is a concrete initiative that addresses one of Sweden's biggest problems today - that more and more young people are failing in school and risk being excluded from society. Carefully selected, paid university students help young people with their studies two evenings a week while also serving as positive role models and mentors. Since our inception in 2007, we have developed a structured approach and a clear goal - grades must improve, and students must progress to high school. We are currently in over 100 schools in Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Gothenburg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
