Welcome to us

With Stockholm City as the employer, skilled teachers, teaching assistants, and other staff members make a real difference. In our schools, every student should have the opportunity to reach the peak of their potential. To get there, we need the absolute best employees.

Workplace Description

Eriksdalsskolan is a preschool to grade 9 school on Södermalm, close to both the city's pulse and beautiful natural areas. The school is buzzing with life with approximately 1,000 students in grades preschool to 9. We have approximately 120 teachers and 70 other staff members. At Eriksdalsskolan, all kinds of operations that can be found in a primary school within Stockholm City exist. We see diversity as a great strength. In addition to the primary school classes, there is a large adapted primary school and a CSU group here.

Our school is in an exciting phase where we work on school development with a focus on reading, language-developing methods, differentiated instruction, and assessment. We have implemented training initiatives within IT, language-developing methods, and LGBTQ+. We are an LGBTQ+-certified school, which we are very proud of. Together, the school's teachers have developed good meeting structures for joint planning and collegial development in joint conferences for staff across the entire school from a preschool to grade 9 perspective.

Job Description

We are now looking for a teaching assistant for our CSU group. CSU is Stockholm City's municipal special education groups. We receive students from all over Stockholm Municipality, and this operation has high special pedagogical competence. As a teaching assistant with us, you work with and support both groups and individual students during the school day. When teaching takes place in other premises, you accompany the students there. You also work during the students' breaks, meal times, and at the after-school center linked to the operation. The work team consists of teaching assistants, resource teachers, after-school pedagogues, teachers, special educators, and speech therapists.

The position is a permanent employment.

Training in clarifying pedagogy and training on how to meet students with challenging behaviors is meritorious.

You have long and broad experience working with students in need of special support, especially students with autism and ADHD. You have a great interest and experience in special pedagogical work within speech and language.
