JOB DESCRIPTION

Do you want to work as a teaching assistant at a successful upper secondary school? Then you could be our new colleague!

You will be placed at Alléskolan's adapted upper secondary school, where you, as a teaching assistant, are a key player in the student's everyday life. Your mission is to support students in their learning, personal development, and preparation for adult life. You are the one who is there in the classroom, during breaks, at the lunch table, during internships or APL, and who builds the security that allows the student to dare to grow.

Together with teaching assistants, teachers, EHT, the home, and other actors, you support students in developing their abilities, which are important preparations for future employment. It is a balancing act between providing support and letting go, between being close and giving space for independence.

Your mission is based on the school's governing documents and values and requires both commitment, patience, structure, and flexibility. You will support students with different needs in various situations, for example, in teaching, social contexts, or with care.

Examples of tasks:

• Provide individually tailored support to students in teaching and school situations
• Create structure, clarity, and predictability during the school day
• Strengthen students' independence and social skills
• Contribute to safety, study peace, and an inclusive climate
• Collaborate with teachers, student health teams, and guardians
• Support during APL/internships and, if necessary, perform care and self-care interventions

You will be part of a work team consisting of teachers and several teaching assistants where the focus is on the whole individual and their network. You work supportively and developmentally.

If this sounds interesting, do not hesitate to apply for the position today!

• Education as a leisure educator, nursing assistant, or other forms of teaching assistant or childcare education, for example, within KOMVUX or folk high school.
• Experience working with individuals who have epilepsy and physical disabilities.

Personal qualities:

You are calm, structured, and flexible, with a solution-focused approach in everyday life.
