AKG Sweden is looking for a Special Educator for value-creating assignments - IPSU!

AKG Sweden AB (formerly Jobfind Sweden) is a dynamic company that has grown rapidly, from about 15 employees in 2023 to over 170 engaged colleagues today. As part of the Angus Knight Group, a global player in education, employment, and community services, we are dedicated to making a positive difference for individuals and communities. We work to broaden participants' perspectives on the labor market and career opportunities, focusing on their needs and development.

IPSU - Individual Educational Support in Education is a valuable and qualitative service that the Swedish Public Employment Service procures with the ultimate goal of taking its strategic responsibility within labor market policy.

To make educational initiatives accessible for job seekers with disabilities, the Public Employment Service offers, with the help of our efforts, special educational support in the form of IPSU. Read more about the assignment on our website www.akgsverige.se (http://www.akgsverige.se)

Your main task will be to map the participants' individual conditions in relation to the requirements imposed by the educational situation and provide recommendations for pedagogical and technical adaptations that lead to the participant becoming independent and successfully completing the education with a passing result.

The role involves, in general:

• Conducting qualitative mappings of our participants' abilities and needs related to the requirements set within the framework of the current education
• Testing aids where applicable
• Collaboration with specialist colleagues such as audiologists, special educators, vision pedagogues, sign language competency, or occupational therapists
• Collaboration and dialogue with the Public Employment Service at the local level
• Collaboration and dialogue with the various actors conducting the educational initiatives relevant to our participants, e.g., teachers from providers of labor market education, folk high schools, and preparatory education

In collaboration with coordinators, you will be responsible for:

• Recruitment, matching, and management of colleagues who provide educational support to our participants
• Scheduling and planning our educational work with the participants
• Ordering aids that are relevant for each participant
• Reporting and documentation in the client's administrative system
• Follow-ups and quality work

At AKG Sweden, we work in teams, and in the role of IPSU specialist, you will be responsible, together with the Quality Manager, for ensuring that we conduct a delivery we are proud of through our internal processes and you are a key person in the ongoing development work.

We know from experience that to succeed in your role as a specialist within this assignment, you need to have solid knowledge of how various functional variations can affect a learning situation, and you have a broad toolbox to draw your recommendations from.

In addition to basic knowledge, you should have an interest and curiosity to continuously develop yourself regarding news and research concerning information and communication technology, as we are keen to stay updated in this rapidly evolving area.

You are responsible for our reporting back to the client, which is why a strong aptitude for documentation will facilitate your work. Since the role involves many contacts within and outside the organization, you need to be able to build trusting relationships with people easily.

To thrive with us, we also believe that you enjoy testing different approaches and methods for ongoing evaluation, and you are comfortable working independently as well as being part of a team. We hope you are unpretentious and have good self-awareness of what conditions you need to feel good and succeed in your work – together we can achieve most things!

Working at AKG Sweden means being part of an expansive journey; we are relatively new to the market as a company but are rooted in a very long-term ownership structure, and those of us driving AKG Sweden forward have over 25 years of experience in the industry and have delivered the IPSU service/ equivalent assignments in previous procurements for almost as long.
