About Us

Astar is a leading provider of adult education. Our vision is to contribute to a strong and resilient labor market. We offer not just education and jobs – we create professional pride and joy in work.

Do you want to work closely with participants and teachers and contribute to more people succeeding in their education and taking the next step towards employment? Astar is now looking for a Pedagogical Resource for our ITU (Individual Study Program) courses in Umeå.

Our Values

• Joy in Work – We build good relationships, are curious, enthusiastic, and welcoming. Together, we create a workplace where people enjoy being.

About the Role

As a Pedagogical Resource, you are a practical and pedagogical support in the daily life of the education program. You work closely with the responsible teacher and participants to create structure, security, and study environment, while contributing to participants completing their education.

The role involves being present in the operations, supporting participants individually and in groups, and contributing to a professional and positive learning climate. The role is not that of a teacher, but requires a clear pedagogical approach and sense of responsibility in interactions with participants.

Your Main Responsibilities

• Support participants in their studies and daily educational life
• Contribute to structure, order, and study environment in the education
• Collaborate with teachers and other colleagues regarding participants' development
• Act as an additional adult support who notices, follows up, and acts early when participants risk falling behind
• Contribute to putting Astar's values into practice every day

The work should be characterized by professional pride, endurance, and joy in work, in line with Astar's values.

Formal Requirements

To be considered for the role, you must meet the following requirements:

• Have adequate education in Welding Technology, Product and Mechanical Engineering, Operational Safety and Maintenance, or Process Technology, or
• Have work experience in one of the above-mentioned areas for at least 1 year

We are looking for someone who:

• Thrives in a supportive and relationship-oriented role
• Is structured, clear, and consistent in your interactions
• Takes responsibility for creating security and study environment
• Has the ability to motivate and support participants facing challenges
• Works professionally even in challenging situations

These behaviors are central to Astar's description of the Pedagogical Resource role.

We Offer

• A meaningful assignment where you contribute to people's development and establishment
• Close collaboration with engaged colleagues
• An operation where values and structure are clearly integrated into daily life
