Vacant job

AKG Sweden is looking for a 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 Educational Support in Education is a valuable and quality service procured by the Public Employment Service with the ultimate goal of taking strategic responsibility within labor market policy by allowing more people to succeed in training within various shortage occupations.

To make educational efforts accessible for job seekers with disabilities, the Public Employment Service offers, with the help of our efforts, special educational 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 can involve a pedagogical setup where you meet the participant several hours every day or just a few hours per week.

The educational 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 programs, part of the lessons takes place outdoors.

Your task is to help ensure that the participant has the conditions to succeed in their studies through special educational methods and the use of technical aids, apps, etc. You are a complement to the regular teacher and are not expected to teach or know the subjects in the current curriculum.

The role generally includes:

• Pedagogical work supporting participants in an educational situation
• Collaboration and dialogue with staff at the various actors providing the educational efforts relevant to our participants, e.g., teachers at providers of labor market education
• Participation in collegial forums, follow-ups, and quality work
• Collaboration and dialogue with the various actors providing educational efforts relevant to our participants, e.g., teachers at providers of labor market education, 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 efforts 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 easily build trusting relationships with people.

In the employment relationship at AKG Sweden, there is an expectation that each individual, i.e., YOU, takes responsibility for increasing your self-awareness about the conditions you need to feel good and succeed in your work – and dare to communicate these to your colleagues. Together, we can achieve most things!
