Job Description In your role as a teaching assistant, you will help create a safe foundation for our students who need extraordinary support and specially designed pedagogy and social training. You will be present as support beside the students throughout the school day. An important part of the job is to stimulate and motivate the students to develop their abilities and create opportunities for learning. The work is characterized by low-arousal responses, clarifying pedagogy, and alternative communication strategies. You will work to stimulate and challenge the students' development and learning in close collaboration with colleagues. Your tasks also include everyday chores such as purchasing groceries, kitchen tasks, cleaning, and other practical tasks that may arise. Your working hours will be Mon-Fri 7:45 AM - 12:45 PM (no work during school breaks).

Skills, Experience, and Personal Qualities

We are looking for someone who has the courage, experience, and willingness to work with our most challenging – and challenging – students. Our school is a specialized school focused on students in great need of special support. Here you will meet a student group where aggressive behavior, self-harm, and other problem-causing behaviors are part of everyday life.

This assignment is not for everyone. It requires a strong psyche, a secure personality, and a clear structure. You need to be able to stand firm when the going gets tough, take responsibility in pressured situations, and at the same time meet each student with respect and professionalism.

We work with low-arousal responses (LAB) as a foundation. This means that we do not let ourselves be provoked but focus on understanding, regulating, and responding to behaviors with calmness and clarity. You need to be attentive, reflective, and secure in yourself – with previous experience of the target group.

You have at least a high school education, preferably in care and welfare or childcare/youth and leisure, or other education. It is an advantage if you have experience with low-arousal responses, students with neuropsychiatric disabilities, and/or intellectual disabilities.

We are looking for someone who understands differences and is flexible in their thinking. You need to be solution-focused and preferably have experience working in schools and with people with disabilities. You are a responsible, empathetic, and meticulous person who has a genuine interest in supporting people with disabilities. You have a positive attitude, focus on possibilities, and see it as your obvious responsibility to contribute to a positive work environment. You should be able to work both independently and in a team. You need to be in stable condition both physically and mentally as it is important to be able to support the students and handle stress.

You need to have very good knowledge of Swedish both in writing and speaking; this is very important, so if you do not meet this criterion, we ask you not to apply for this position. Since the oldest students at the school can be about 20-21 years old, it is an advantage if you are older than them.

A background check will be conducted in connection with the employment. We recommend that you apply for this now.

We kindly but firmly request no contact from advertisers or other recruitment service sellers.

Invitation to chat interview with Hubert AI

As part of our efforts for a fairer and competence-based recruitment process, we have chosen to collaborate with Hubert.ai. After you submit your application, you will be directly invited to a chat-based first interview with our virtual recruitment assistant Hubert. The purpose of this interview is to make the selection process faster and more accurate – it does not replace the human interview, but serves as a first step that helps us create better conditions for a more in-depth conversation later in the process. The interview usually takes about 15–20 minutes to complete, and we prefer that you do it as soon as you have the opportunity. Tips for the interview?
