Responsibilities

In the role of teaching assistant/special education teacher, you will work with one or more students who need an extra adult.

You should have good knowledge and understanding of NPF (neuropsychiatric disabilities) and the challenges it entails. You should know how to meet and work with students who need clear structure and routines.

We are looking for someone who can create situations where students succeed, and your view of children is characterized by respect and belief that all students can and want to develop. You should be able to build relationships and, in your daily work, spark students' interest and encourage them to learn. In your work, you use a low-arousal approach, are professional, and can adapt your communication based on the situation. You are empathetic, mature, have good judgment, and can set boundaries. In your role, you are secure and recognize the importance of being an adult role model.
