Do you want to contribute to strengthening students' safety, participation, and school attendance? Then you might be the one we are looking for!

Who are we?

In close collaboration between schools and social services, we work together to strengthen students' safety, participation, and opportunities to succeed in their education. Through a school social team with cross-professional competence, we can offer early, coordinated, and relationship-building interventions that support both students and their families. Our shared mission is to promote attendance, create good learning environments, and provide quick and accessible support when needs arise so that every student has the best conditions to develop and thrive in school.

We are now looking for engaged special educators for our school social teams, cross-professional teams that work closely with school staff, student health, and social services to provide early support to children and youth.

Your responsibilities

As a special educator in the school social team, you will work to promote attendance, prevent issues, and take action by creating learning environments and teaching situations that enable students with high absenteeism to participate in lessons. The work takes place close to the students in the school environment, in classrooms, and during breaks.

Within the primary school, you will be part of the school's student health team and contribute to preventive, investigative, and remedial work.

You will work proactively and build relationships with students at risk of absenteeism or social isolation.

To succeed in the role, it is important that you have a close collaboration with the representative from social services. You will implement targeted interventions to increase students' motivation and participation in schoolwork.

We offer a meaningful assignment where you make a concrete difference for children and youth, where you have the opportunity to help build, influence, and develop the team's working methods. You will be part of a cross-professional team with high competence and close collaboration. We are a workplace that values engagement and innovation.

Who are you?

We are looking for someone with a degree as a special educator or another higher education qualification that the employer assesses as equivalent.

You have experience working in primary school as a special educator. You also have experience and enjoy driving processes and taking initiatives in ongoing development work.

As a person, you are secure, attentive, and relationship-building. You have the ability to work both independently and in a team, and you are used to collaborating with several actors around children and youth.

You are accustomed to analyzing, identifying causes of problems, and finding practical solutions. You can also lead and coach and help others achieve set goals.

To be considered for the position, you must have very good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.
