Vacant job

Stockholm – our capital city filled with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone who lives here today and in the future. Now we are looking for you who want to think big, new, and different with us – for the people of Stockholm.

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 staff members.

Workplace Description

Eriksdalsskolan is a comprehensive school (grades F-9) located on Södermalm, close to both the city's pulse and beautiful natural areas. The school is vibrant, with approximately 1,000 students in grades F-9. We have around 120 teachers and 70 other staff members. At Eriksdalsskolan, you will find all types of operations that can be found in a primary school within Stockholm City. We see diversity as a great strength. In addition to the regular primary school classes, there is a large adapted primary school and a CSU group here.

Our school is in an exciting phase where we are working on school development with a focus on reading, language-developing approaches, differentiated instruction, and assessment. We have implemented training initiatives within IT, language-developing approaches, 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 grades F-9 perspective.

Job Description

We are now looking for a teaching assistant for our CSU group. CSU stands for Stockholm City's municipal special education groups. We receive students from all over Stockholm Municipality, and this operation has high special educational 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 follow the students there. You also work during the students' breaks, meal times, and at the after-school center (fritidshem) connected to the operation. The work team consists of teaching assistants, resource teachers, after-school educators, teachers, special education teachers, and speech therapists.

The position is a permanent employment.

Qualifications

Requirement of upper secondary education; adequate further education is meritorious.

Training in clarifying pedagogy and training on how to handle 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 strong interest and experience in special educational work within speech and language.

Since our students have challenges within communication, you must be fluent in Swedish in both speech and writing. Since we also have English-speaking students, you must also be proficient in English. We have students who are quick in movement and impulses, so we are therefore looking for someone with quick feet.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability and your ability to:

• Lead and organize the work to create safety in the classroom and outside
• Support and encourage students to communicate and use spoken language
• Listen, communicate, and collaborate well with others
• Adapt and relate to different situations so that you can make quick decisions and act accordingly
• Reflect on the work both individually and together with others.

Stockholm City works with competency-based recruitment aimed at considering each person's competence and thereby combating discrimination.
