Vacant job

AKG Sweden is looking for a Pedagogue for a value-creating assignment - IPSU!

AKG Sweden AB is a dynamic company that has grown rapidly, from approximately 15 employees in 2023 to over 200 engaged colleagues today. As part of Angus Knight Group, a global player in education, employment, and social services, we are dedicated to making a positive difference for individuals and communities. We work to broaden participants' perspectives on the labor market and career opportunities, with a focus on participants' needs and development.

IPSU (Individual Pedagogical Support in Education) is a valuable and high-quality service procured by the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen). The ultimate goal is to fulfill strategic responsibilities within labor market policy by giving more people the chance to complete education in various professions with labor shortages.

To make educational efforts accessible to job seekers with disabilities, the Swedish Public Employment Service offers special pedagogical support in the form of IPSU, utilizing our interventions. Read more about the assignment on our website: www.akgsverige.se (http://www.akgsverige.se)

As an IPSU Pedagogue, you are the one who works closest to our participant under the guidance of our special needs pedagogist. The assignments vary greatly and may involve a pedagogical setup where you meet the participant for several hours each day or just a few hours per week.

The pedagogical support for each participant takes place at various educational providers, meaning a varied and developing workday. It is therefore important that you enjoy a changing work situation. On some courses, part of the lessons take place in outdoor environments.

Your task is to contribute to the participant gaining the prerequisites to complete their studies through special pedagogical methods and the use of technical aids, apps, etc. You are a complement to regular teachers and are not expected/supposed to teach or know the subjects in the current course curriculum.

The role entails, broadly:

• Pedagogical work supporting participants in an educational setting.
• Collaboration and dialogue with staff at various actors providing educational interventions relevant to our participants, e.g., teachers at labor market training providers.
• Participation in collegial forums, follow-ups, and quality work.
• Collaboration and dialogue with various actors providing educational interventions relevant to our participants, e.g., teachers at labor market training providers, folk high schools, and preparatory education.
• Collaboration with responsible specialists such as audiologists, special needs pedagogists, visual impairment specialists, sign language competence, or licensed occupational therapists.
• Reporting and documentation regarding implemented interventions in various systems.

Your workday will be flexible, challenging, and highly value-creating!

At AKG Sweden, we work in teams, and you will be part of a collegial forum where development and collaboration are natural parts of the workday. To thrive with us, we believe you enjoy testing different approaches and methods to evaluate continuously, and that you are comfortable working independently as well as being part of a team.

Since the role involves many contacts within and outside the organization, you need to have an easy time building trusting relationships with people.

In the employment culture at AKG Sweden, there is an expectation that everyone, i.e., YOU yourself, takes responsibility for increasing self-awareness regarding the prerequisites you need to feel good and succeed in your work – and dares to communicate these to your colleagues. Then we can handle most things together!
