Vacant job

In the Vingåker region, we are close to each other, nature, and a wide range of cultural and recreational activities year-round. Here, there are rich cultural environments, good communication from nearby cities, and the country's largest outlet for branded clothing. Vingåker municipality is developing the community and public services for the future.

Do you want to work in an environment where every student feels safe, seen, and supported in their development? Do you thrive in a preventive and health-promoting role where collaboration is at the center – and where you have the opportunity to truly make a difference? Then this could be the right assignment for you.

We are now looking for a counselor who wants to contribute to and further develop the student health work at Slottsskolan F–6 and Marmorbyns school. Slottsskolan is located in the northern part of the central town and has about 250 students. Marmorbyns school is a smaller rural school with approximately 90 students, located near the municipal border with Katrineholm. The position is divided so that you work about 80% at Slottsskolan and 20% at Marmorbyn.

RESPONSIBILITIES

As a counselor, you will be a central part of the schools' student health team and an important driving force in the ongoing development work. You will work both health-promoting, preventive, and remedial to create good learning environments and to strengthen students' social and emotional development. The role involves close collaboration with students, guardians, educators, and other staff.

We offer you close collaboration in the student health teams, good opportunities to influence and shape student health work, and continuous support through contact with the central student health services.

Your work includes holding supportive conversations with students both individually and in groups, contributing social and psychosocial competence in student matters, and participating in the student health team's meetings and the schools' social teams. You will participate in investigations regarding students in need of special support, collaborate with external actors such as social services and child and adolescent psychiatry, and provide support to staff on issues related to students' social situations and well-being.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who wants to help create a safe, positive, and professional work environment. You have a good understanding of what good teamwork means and value collaboration, open communication, and shared responsibility. The role requires you to be independent and able to organize and plan your work in a structured way.

You should have a degree in social work or be a health and medical care counselor combined with experience in school activities. Experience working with children and youth is an advantage. You find it easy to build trusting relationships, can express yourself clearly and professionally both verbally and in writing, and enjoy working both independently and in teams.

We would like you to have a strong commitment to children's rights and well-being, to see collaboration and interdisciplinary work as a natural part of the assignment, and to be confident, attentive, and flexible. You want to be an active part of developing student health and the schools' safety work both in the short and long term.

Since the position involves dividing your working time between Slottsskolan F-6 and Marmorbyns school, a driver's license is required.
