Vacant job

AKG Sweden is looking for an engaged and creative Synagogue Pedagogue (Visually Impaired Specialist)!

Our vision is to be a leading provider of services that support, strengthen, and motivate people to enter the workforce or pursue studies. As part of the AKG Group, AKG Sweden is in an exciting phase of development. Following our successful bid for the contract Vocational Introduction for People with Visual Impairments, we are now looking for colleagues who have the competence, drive, and curiosity to deliver this excellent service together with us!

The Vocational Introduction for People with Visual Impairments consists of various preparatory measures, divided into four steps over approximately 1–1.5 years. During this time, our participants will engage in individually suitable activities that help them achieve their goal of securing employment or participating in education leading to work.

Your Profile
We are looking for someone who is self-motivated, driven, and engaged with other people. The target group is very broad, which places high demands on you and your colleagues to adapt the content and structure of our activities to the individual level. Much of your work will focus on strengthening our participants' self-esteem, self-confidence, and motivation. Therefore, it is essential that you have experience interacting with people with visual impairments and are driven by engaging and helping others grow – without taking over their responsibilities. This is a crucial balance for us at AKG Sweden!

You are fundamentally positive and unpretentious, with good self-awareness regarding the conditions you need to thrive and succeed in your work. You enjoy testing different paths and methods, and you are comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.

The Role of Synagogue Pedagogue (Visually Impaired Specialist)
In addition to educating, supporting, coaching, and motivating our participants, you always keep the goal in sight – with a clear mandate to find a suitable path for the individual that leads toward work or studies. This requires a highly individualized approach. The role also involves some administration and documentation in our own and the client's systems.

At AKG Sweden, we work in teams. In the role of Synagogue Pedagogue, you are responsible, together with the local team and the Quality Manager, to ensure that we deliver a service we are proud of through our internal processes. You will be a key person in our ongoing development work.

We value the qualities that diversity and gender balance bring to the business and therefore welcome applicants with different backgrounds and life experiences.
