Do you want to help create a safe school environment focused on support and collaboration?

We are expanding the school social team in Solna and are looking for an engaged school educator!

About us

In the autumn of 2023, a school social team was established linked to one of Solna's primary schools.

The team consists of staff from both the school and social services, and the purpose of the team is to improve safety and study conditions at the school as well as to increase students' attendance through early coordinated efforts. Today, the team consists of two school social workers from social services, one school social worker and school educator from the education department, and one school psychologist. We are now expanding the school social team with an additional school educator!

We strive to work with evidence-based methods and offer programs such as Safe Children, Re-pulse, and FFT.
