About the Workplace

At Fredrikshov Palace School, there are over 300 students. The school is divided into two units: Leisure time/F–3 and grades 4–9. Thanks to the outstanding results of our graduating students, Fredrikshov Palace School has ranked among the five best primary schools in Sweden for several years, according to the Swedish National Agency for Education's statistics.

By forming a cohesive unit from preschool class to grade 9, we create opportunities for long-term work with great continuity. We systematically build students' knowledge and skills so that every student can reach their full potential – both academically and personally.

We are now looking for an engaged and reliable full-time resource person to support a student with visual impairment in their daily schoolwork at the intermediate level.

• Supporting the student in using assistive devices and navigating the school environment.
• Collaborating closely with teachers, student health services, guardians, and external actors.
• Contributing to a safe, inclusive, and structured learning environment.
• Participating in the planning and follow-up of support measures for the student.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who is responsible, sensitive, and genuinely committed to the development of children and young people. You have good collaboration skills and the ability to build trusting relationships with students, guardians, and colleagues.

The following qualifications are meritorious:

• Experience working in schools or with students requiring special support.
• Knowledge of visual impairment and alternative tools/assistive devices.
• Experience working with clear pedagogical methods and structural support.

As a person, you are:

• Patient, flexible, and solution-focused.
• Independent and confident in taking responsibility.
• Empathetic and professional in your approach.
• Engaged and positive with a strong focus on the student.

Personal suitability will be given great weight.
