Job Responsibilities

Responsibilities vary from supporting the student in learning processes during lessons to assisting during changing situations in the pool and after sports. We work around each student as a theme, where the teacher holds the main responsibility. Together with the teacher, other student assistants, and school health professionals, you support the student in their learning and social situations. Teaching takes place in smaller groups to create good prerequisites for the students. All our students have unique needs, with some requiring good physical fitness. You must be able to move freely and keep up with an energetic student, as well as support a student who needs lifting assistance.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are interested in working as a student assistant within the adapted primary school. You have upper secondary education, for example, from the Child and Youth Care program, the Nursing program, or other relevant education that the employer deems equivalent. The work involves adapting to the students, and you need to be flexible throughout the workday and able to adapt quickly to changes in the daily structure. You are comfortable in swimming situations and can swim in public pools with chlorinated water.

Meritorious qualifications include knowledge of intellectual disabilities as well as experience with children with neuropsychiatric functional variations and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). Knowledge of PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) and visual supports is also considered meritorious. It is desirable that you have worked with similar tasks previously.

You are calm and meet the students with a low-affective approach. Your attitude is that children do right if they can, and you adapt your interaction and communication to create prerequisites for students to interpret different situations and contexts. You encourage dialogue, participation, and engagement, and your approach contributes to developing the students' independence.
