Vacant job

Children and young people are important in Ludvika! We demonstrate this by placing children and young people at the center of the municipal organization. Most resources directed towards children and young people have been consolidated under a single committee. This includes preschool, primary school, adapted primary school, and individual and family care. A conscious quality effort to continuously develop and improve work with children and young people is common to all operations.

The Workplace

Welcome to a school where we enjoy working together! Lorensberga School F-6 is a school with approximately 390 students. Here you will meet a well-knit teaching staff with high qualifications and extensive collective experience. We are proud of our fantastic student group, which reflects the entire society and gives us a dynamic and educational daily life.

We are currently in an exciting phase of development. We are actively working to strengthen student health, increase safety, and develop our pedagogy. An example of this is our project focusing on movement during breaks.

The school includes two after-school centers. The school's after-school center opens its operations at 06:00 and is open throughout the day until 18:30, which practically means you will have varying working hours between these times.

An important part of the job is active preventive safety work, stimulating students' development and learning, social competence, peer relationships, and contributing to a democratic approach.

Work within the after-school center will occur.

Having previously worked as a teaching assistant for a student with NPD is meritorious, as is AKK (Augmented and Alternative Communication) or sign language support. Experience of teaching and assessment in schools is preferred. Good knowledge of the school's policy for safety work.

You who apply must show a great ability to drive things forward, be self-reliant, and take own initiatives based on what is required in the moment, in order to best support the teacher and guide the student. It is important that you are perceived by the students as a stable person who is secure in yourself and can handle different students' personalities and expressions.

You are flexible by adapting your actions to the situation and different needs that arise. You can collaborate with colleagues, students, and guardians.
