Vacant job

Do you want to make a difference?

Nearly 20,000 students failed to complete compulsory school in Sweden during the 2024/2025 academic year. There are schools where 7 out of 10 students do not qualify for upper secondary education. At the non-profit foundation Läxhjälpen, you contribute your skills and enthusiasm to help more students meet the eligibility requirements with confidence for the future.

We are now looking for new homework helpers in Luleå!

We are looking for you who are interested in a paid side job and at the same time want to make a concrete social contribution. The position is an hourly employment during afternoons/evenings and essentially involves being a homework helper after school hours at one of our partner schools. Here, you work in a team of three homework helpers, all of whom are university students. You receive training in and work according to our structured approach. Each homework help group consists of 15 students, and together with your colleagues, you are responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on the work.

Job Scope

As a homework helper, you can work either as a regular helper or as a substitute.

• Regular Homework Helper: You work 6 hours per week, distributed over two scheduled afternoons/evenings (possibility for extra shifts exists).
• Substitute: You work when regular helpers are on leave or sick.

The work is performed after school hours in the school premises.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for you who:

• Are studying at a university or college.
• Have pedagogical skills and can communicate and build relationships with children and young people.
• Are solution-oriented, proactive, and able to work according to our structured approach and method.
• Have broad basic subject knowledge and good study techniques.
• Share Läxhjälpen Foundation's values and vision of a society where all children grow up with the prerequisites to pass school and shape their own future.

Since the job involves working with children, we place great emphasis on personal suitability. Providing an extract from the police record of criminal convictions to the employer is a statutory requirement for working with children and young people.

Why Läxhjälpen?

Differences between schools, where you live, where you come from, and what your parents do for a living increasingly determine the likelihood of you passing school. Läxhjälpen Foundation is a non-profit foundation that operates where it is needed most. Läxhjälpen is free for the students, and the homework helpers' salaries are funded through support from the business sector and the public sector.

Läxhjälpen is a concrete effort addressing one of Sweden's biggest problems today – that more and more young people are failing school and risking falling outside of society. Carefully selected, paid university students help young people with their studies two evenings a week and serve as positive role models and mentors. Since our inception in 2007, we have developed a structured approach and a clear goal – grades should improve, and students should progress to upper secondary education.

We are currently present in over 100 schools in cities including Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Gothenburg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
