Vacant job

AKG Sweden is looking for a Pedagogue for a value-creating assignment - IPSU!AKG Sweden AB (formerly Jobfind Sweden) is a dynamic company that has grown rapidly, from approximately 15 employees in 2023 to over 170 engaged colleagues today. As part of Angus Knight Group, a global player in education, employment, and social services, we are dedicated to making a positive difference for individuals and communities.

IPSU – Individual Pedagogical Support in Education is a valuable and high-quality service procured by the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen) with the ultimate goal of fulfilling its strategic responsibility in labor market policy by giving more people the chance to complete education in various shortage occupations.

As an IPSU Pedagogue, you are the one who works closest to our participant under the guidance of our special needs educator. The assignments vary greatly and may involve a pedagogical setup where you meet the participant for several hours each day or just a few hours per week.

The pedagogical support for each participant takes place at various educational providers, implying a varied and developing workday. It is therefore important that you enjoy a changing work situation. On some courses, part of the lessons take place outdoors.

Your assignment is to contribute to the participant having the prerequisites to complete their studies through special pedagogical methods and the use of technical aids, apps, etc. You are a complement to regular teachers and are not expected to teach or know the subjects in the current curriculum. The role entails broadly:

• Pedagogical work supporting participants in an educational situation.
• Collaboration and dialogue with staff at the various actors conducting the educational initiatives relevant to our participants, e.g., teachers at providers of labor market training.
• Participation in collegial forums, follow-ups, and quality work.
• Collaboration and dialogue with the various actors conducting the educational initiatives relevant to our participants, e.g., teachers at providers of labor market training, folk high schools, and preparatory education.
• Collaboration with responsible specialists such as audiologists, special needs educators, vision educators, sign language competence holders, or licensed occupational therapists.
• Reporting and documentation regarding implemented initiatives in various systems.

Your workday will be flexible, challenging, and highly value-creating!

At AKG Sweden, we work in teams and you will be part of a collegial forum where development and collaboration are natural parts of the workday. To thrive with us, we believe you enjoy testing different approaches and methods for continuous evaluation, and that you are comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.

Since the role involves many contacts within and outside the organization, you need to have an easy ability to build trusting relationships with people.

In the employment culture at AKG Sweden, there is an expectation that everyone, i.e., YOU yourself, takes responsibility for increasing self-awareness regarding the prerequisites you need to feel good and succeed in your work – and dares to communicate these to your colleagues. Then we can handle most things together!
