Are you a skilled teaching assistant eager to collaborate with professional and dedicated colleagues in a top-tier school located in a beautiful natural setting with good transport links? Then we are looking for you!

In Österåker, we are working towards becoming the county's best school municipality. In our pursuit of this goal, we have three key words: knowledge, professionalism, and safety. Knowledge means that more students should reach their goals and achieve better school results. Professionalism means that we should have skilled staff who can also grow and develop in their roles. Safety means that staff and students should have peace of mind, experience the school environments as safe, and be involved in decisions that affect their daily lives.

The key words for Österskärsskolan are safety, health, and learning.

At our school, everyone should feel safe, and a prerequisite for this is that we have zero tolerance for all types of bullying and harassment.

At Österskärsskolan, we focus on learning and give students the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential and grow into independent and reflective individuals with knowledge and skills for life. Driving development from a health perspective is important to us as we all need comprehensive development to feel good. Healthy food and physical activity are important prerequisites for this.

Österskärsskolan is a school with two parallel classes in each grade level, with a total of 400 students and 50 employees. The school is located in a residential area in Österskär, close to forests, the sea, parks, and the Roslagsbanan railway.

Your new job

As a teaching assistant, you will work with a student attending adapted primary school in an integrated form. In the role of teaching assistant, you work both in the school and in the after-school activities in close collaboration with school teachers, after-school center teachers, and student health personnel. You help create structure, clarify instructions, and support the student in their learning and social development. You are an important part of creating a safe and inclusive environment where the student has the opportunity to develop based on their own prerequisites. You actively contribute to adapting the teaching and school environment to the student's needs. You are a stable adult role model who makes a difference every day with patience, sensitivity, and engagement.

Your profile

We are looking for someone who is confident in their role and has a great interest in children's development. You are creative and are happy to bring new ideas and suggestions for working methods.

You work solution-focused with the student at the center, have a low-affective approach, and are self-initiative in your work. As a person, you are stable, confident, and clear, and you find it easy to collaborate. You enjoy working closely with students throughout the school day, and it is important that you can distinguish between the personal and the professional. You understand that learning starts with the relationship, and therefore you are interested in building good relationships with students, guardians, and school staff.

• You have education in pedagogy/care/social services or another education considered equivalent.
• You have experience working with students with intellectual disabilities in adapted primary school.
• You have the ability to build good relationships with students, guardians, and colleagues.
• You have good knowledge of the Swedish language in both speech and writing.
