We are now looking for a student assistant – come to us and make a difference!

Norretullskolan A is a municipal adapted primary school for students in grades 7–9 with intellectual disabilities. The school is currently located at Kristianstad University, and after the autumn break, the operations will move to the newly built Allöskolan.

The school has a clear focus on developing each student as far as possible based on their own abilities. We are constantly working to find new paths to learning. Together with special education teachers, teachers, and student assistants, we strive to give students the opportunity to reach their maximum development. A prerequisite for this is a warm and inclusive climate.

We look forward to your application!

Your role with us

As a student assistant, you work to help and stimulate students in need of special support in learning, development, and independence, both individually and in groups, using a low-affective approach. The work involves creating a safe environment and frameworks for the students, focusing on studies and conditions for developing cooperation and relationships at school. The work is carried out on behalf of the responsible teacher based on the current curriculum. You support students throughout the school day, both in the classroom and during breaks, in the after-school center, during meal and hygiene situations, and during other activities.

The work requires constant attention, analysis, and understanding of situations inside and outside the classroom. In close cooperation with teachers and other student assistants, you strive to find individual solutions so that each student can benefit from the teaching in the best way possible. Understanding each other's professional roles is of utmost importance. Contact and cooperation with guardians is an important part of the work, as is actively participating in the workplace's development and taking responsibility for your own personal competence development. The work can be physically demanding and mentally taxing.
