Olovslundskolan is located in western Jakobsberg. The school has approximately 620 students from preschool class up to grade 6, and we also have an adapted comprehensive school with students in grades 1–6.

At the adapted comprehensive school, there are approximately 30 students distributed across 5 classes. The students at the adapted comprehensive school have intellectual disabilities (ID), and many students have additional diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, and speech disorders. Our students require a slower teaching pace and are met by calm and secure staff. We use visual supports and PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) signs, among other things, to clarify tasks, routines, and events for the students during their days at school and in after-school care. Our students study both specific subjects and subject areas.

We are now looking for 2 support pedagogues for our adapted comprehensive school.

2 positions.

Job Responsibilities

As a support pedagogue, you work closely with the students during their days at school and in after-school care.

As a support pedagogue, you work both during school hours and in after-school care. We expect an active pedagogue who participates in the students' entire day; in the classroom, during breaks, and in after-school activities. At the adapted comprehensive school, students also need support with, for example, dressing, meals, play, and personal hygiene.

You will plan and implement education together with the work team in a way that promotes the students' development, health, and well-being. Your assignment involves meeting all students with respect for their person and giving each student the conditions to develop trust and self-confidence. Everyone working within the school must show respect for the individual and contribute to creating a democratic climate. You will collaborate with the home and create trusting relationships with both guardians and colleagues.
