Job Description

Welcome to Ljungfälle Special School! We operate a school for grades 1-9, divided into 16 classes. We also have an after-school center and short-term supervision. Our students study subject areas or subjects based on the curriculum for special schools.

On the school grounds, you will find lead teachers, a management group, and an experienced collegium to support you when needed.

We see every individual as unique, with different abilities, prerequisites, and needs. Based on this, we strive to meet every student in the best possible way. As an employee here, you are important regardless of your role; together with us, you contribute to a positive development for our children and students.

We are looking for student assistants who preferably have experience with low-affective interaction and a strong commitment to working in special schools. The duties include being with the students during the school day as well as at the after-school center in the mornings and afternoons. You will act as support for the student in all moments and activities during the day, that is, during lessons, breaks, meals, and in connection with personal care. You also need to be prepared to participate in swimming instruction and provide physical support in the pool.

With us, you will meet great commitment and have the opportunity to develop together with engaged and competent colleagues.

Qualifications

We are looking for you with a student assistant education or other education that the employer deems equivalent. We would like you to have experience working in a special school or similar operation. You are accustomed to working with students with various functional variations – intellectual, neuropsychiatric, and physical. Experience from care and social services is an advantage.

You need to be able to adapt your approach, interaction, and communication based on the student's individual needs. You have the ability to handle unexpected situations in a flexible way and are open to changes. The work requires patience and that you can be a calm, secure, and stable adult.

You understand the importance of creating and maintaining good relationships with students, guardians, and colleagues. You enjoy working both independently and together with others. In the role of student assistant, you may encounter aggressive behavior, and it is important that you meet this with a calm and low-affective approach.

You have the ability to create a good working climate characterized by commitment, curiosity, and security. You see and meet the students' different needs based on their prerequisites, stimulate their development, and support them in becoming more independent.

Furthermore, you have a good approach, a positive attitude, a flexible working style, and good collaboration skills. You actively contribute to the development of the operation.
