Your Role

In the role of Childcare Assistant, you work with students in grades Pre-K to 3. You are part of both the after-school team and a grade-level working group in the lower primary section. Together with teachers and colleagues at the after-school center, you create a cohesive, secure, and developmental school day for our students.

You contribute to creating security, well-being, and good conditions for students' social and academic development, while ensuring activities are adapted to students' interests, needs, and prerequisites. Opening and closing the after-school center may be included in the role.

• Experience participating in the development and quality work of the after-school center
• Experience leading colleagues and pedagogical work within the after-school center
• Experience in reading-inspiring work and activities aimed at promoting students' language and reading development.

Is this you?

To succeed in this role, you have a good ability to collaborate, communicate, and build good relationships with students, guardians, and colleagues. You are a team player who contributes to a positive work climate by supporting, helping, and lifting up your colleagues. You create security and act calmly, stably, and professionally even in stressful and pressuring situations. At the same time, you are flexible and solution-focused, with the ability to adapt to students' needs and changing circumstances, always keeping the best interests of the students and the organization in focus.

You have good judgment and act professionally based on the school's value system in both interactions and statements, actions, and decisions. Furthermore, you are quality-conscious and strive for high quality in all parts of your work. You actively work to create a secure, high-quality, and developmental learning environment during both school and after-school hours. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
