Vacant job

Do you want to make a difference?

Nearly 20,000 students failed to complete compulsory school in Sweden during the 2024/2025 academic year. There are schools where 7 out of 10 students do not qualify for upper secondary education. At the non-profit foundation Läxhjälpen (Homework Help), you contribute your skills and commitment to help more students meet the qualification requirements with confidence for their future.

Looking for Homework Helpers in Västra Frölunda for Autumn Term 2026

We are looking for you who want to lay the foundation for a good school year! We are seeking someone interested in a paid part-time job while making a concrete social contribution. The position is an hourly employment during afternoons/evenings, primarily serving as a homework helper after school hours at one of our partner schools.

At our organization, you work in a team of three homework helpers, all of whom are university students. You receive training and work according to our structured approach. Each homework help group consists of 15 students, and together with your colleagues, you are responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on the work.

Employment Type

As a homework helper, you can work either as a regular helper or as a substitute.

• Regular Homework Helper: Works 6 hours per week, distributed over two scheduled afternoons/evenings (possibility for extra shifts exists).
• Substitute: Works when regular helpers are on leave or sick.

The work is performed after school hours in school facilities.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who:

• Is currently studying at a university or college.
• Has pedagogical skills and can communicate and build relationships with children and young people.
• Is solution-oriented, proactive, and able to work according to our structured methods and approach.
• Has broad basic subject knowledge and good study techniques.
• Shares Läxhjälpen Foundation's values and vision of a society where all children grow up with the prerequisites to succeed in school and shape their own future.

Since the job involves working with children, personal suitability is highly valued. Providing a certificate of good conduct (extract from the police record) to the employer is a statutory requirement for working with children and young people.

About Läxhjälpen Foundation

Differences between schools, where you live, your background, and your parents' occupations increasingly determine the likelihood of you succeeding in school. Läxhjälpen Foundation is a non-profit organization that operates where it is needed most. Homework help is free for students, and the salaries for homework helpers are funded through support from the business community and the public sector.

Läxhjälpen is a concrete initiative addressing one of Sweden's biggest problems today: more young people failing school and risking exclusion from society. Carefully selected, paid university students help young people with their studies two evenings a week, acting as positive role models and mentors. Since our founding in 2007, we have developed a structured approach with a clear goal – grades should improve, and students should progress to upper secondary education.

We currently operate in over 90 schools in cities including Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Gothenburg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
