The key words for Östregårdskolan are: Courage, Joy, Respect, and Equal Value for All. We see systematic quality work and building a learning organization as important factors for ensuring good quality in operations, as well as for creating a sustainable workplace for both students and staff. At Östregårdskolan, we actively work to create opportunities for our students to develop as far as possible based on the goals of education. We focus heavily on language-developing teaching methods, safety, well-being, and the preventive and promoting work of the student health service.

As an employee here, you are important! Regardless of your role in our administration, you will work together with us to contribute to a positive development for our children and students.

Here, you will work in a team where there is close collaboration with the Student Health Service, which plays a significant part in meeting all students' needs for support and adjustments at both group and individual levels.

In the role of student assistant, you work with students both during the school day and in the after-school care activities. You work both individually with students or with students in small groups, and your task is to guide and support students throughout the day. Through low-affective interaction, clarifying pedagogy, and conversations with the students, you work to create safety and develop the student's social development and learning. In collaboration with other staff, you work to promote the student's meaningfulness, comprehensibility, and manageability throughout the day.
