Fristadskolan is a lower secondary school (grades 7–9) located in central Fristad, approximately 13 kilometers north of Borås. The school has over 400 students who come from Fristad town center as well as smaller surrounding communities. The staff is organized into four work teams that collaborate to ensure every student has the best possible conditions for success. The school is constantly developing and is characterized by a pleasant climate where teachers collaborate and share experiences across and within subjects. Safety and well-being are natural priorities for both students and staff.

As a Study Coach, you will support and relieve teachers in their work to increase students' study motivation. You will work with students who need help finding motivation for attendance and schoolwork, establishing structure in their daily lives, or functioning in social interactions. In your role, you contribute to giving students a good start to the school day, discussing their school situation, and addressing other factors that may affect their well-being. You will also assist with certain school tasks planned by the teacher.

The role also includes taking responsibility for the Canteen activities together with another Study Coach. Since Skolfritid no longer runs this activity, there is an opportunity to help build a new operation with good contact points for students.

The position involves working together with the school leadership, student health team, work teams, the other Study Coach, students, and guardians. Collaboration with other actors and authorities may also occur. Examples of tasks for a Study Coach include:

• Motivational and guiding conversations with students.
• Participation in teaching and schedule-breaking activities.
• Coordination of interventions at the individual and/or group level.
• Other interventions that relieve the work team.
• Dialogue with guardians.
• Conducting investigations (e.g., regarding absenteeism or class changes).

In the role of Study Coach, you will receive continuous supervision from the school psychologist together with the rest of the team.

We are looking for you who have a university degree in pedagogy, psychology, social pedagogy, or social work, or another university education that the employer deems relevant. Teacher training and/or experience working with young people is advantageous.

To function well as a Study Coach, you need to be resilient, have good communication skills, and the ability to see the whole picture regarding the student's situation.
