AKG Sweden is looking for an engaged Vision Educator!

AKG Sweden AB (formerly Jobfind Sweden) is a dynamic company that has grown rapidly, from about 15 employees in 2023 to over 170 dedicated colleagues today. As part of the Angus Knight Group, a global player in education, employment, and community services, we are committed 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.

We are now looking for a new employee for the assignment: Vocational introduction for people with visual impairments. The position consists of various preparatory measures, divided into four steps over approximately 1-1.5 years. During this time, our participants will engage in individually suitable activities that help them achieve their goal of obtaining a job or participating in an education that leads to work.

Your Profile

We are looking for someone who is self-driven, motivated, and engaged with others. The target group is very broad, which places high demands on you and your colleagues to adapt the content and structure of our activities on an individual level. Much of your work will involve strengthening our participants' self-esteem, confidence, and motivation, which is why we see it as essential that you have experience interacting with people who have visual impairments and that you are driven to engage and help others grow—without taking over their responsibilities. A crucial balance according to us at Jobfind!

Furthermore, you are fundamentally positive and unpretentious, with good self-awareness of the conditions you need to thrive and succeed in your work. You are challenged by testing different paths and methods, and you enjoy working independently as well as being part of a team.

The Role of Vision Educator

In addition to educating, supporting, coaching, and motivating our participants, you constantly keep the goal in sight—and have a clear mission to find a suitable path for the individual that leads to work or studies. This places high demands on an individualized approach. The role also involves some administration and documentation in our own and the client's systems.

At AKG Sweden, we work in teams, and as a Vision Educator, you will be responsible, together with the local team and the Quality Manager, for ensuring that we deliver a service we are proud of through our internal processes, and you will be a key person in the ongoing development work.

Competence Requirements

• Vision specialist/Visual rehabilitation therapist or Occupational therapist with vision competence
• At least one (1) year of experience working (at least 50% of full-time) with the target group of people with visual impairments
• Knowledge of visual impairments and their consequences
• Knowledge of compensatory methods and aids for people with visual impairments
• Experience in training individuals in magnification and screen reading programs related to the Office suite

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

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

Employment Conditions

• Permanent employment with a 6-month probation period
• Extent: Part-time/full-time by agreement.
• Individual salary setting applies

The position is located in Växjö.
