Do you want to make a difference for students who are struggling in school? With us, you can make a significant impact and help make Linköping a better place. Welcome to join us!

Your Responsibilities

As a Resource Pedagogue, you work with students' social and academic development in close collaboration with other staff within the Resource Schools. The role involves consciously and actively promoting a good learning environment where every student has the opportunity to develop strategies for social interaction and lifelong learning, based on their strengths.

The position includes planning, organizing, and following up on activities before, during, and after school hours, as well as participating in teaching and pedagogical work with teachers and student groups. The role also involves collaborating with students' guardians and other networks, including authorities, leisure activities, and social actors. During school holidays, you will participate with other leisure staff in leading, planning, and following up on leisure activities for the students.

Within our operations, there is an opportunity to contribute your individual competence and experience to the mission of making a positive difference for the students and families we meet.

Your Workplace

The Resource Schools consist of six primary schools (grades 1-9) for students with action plans who need extra support in their school development, socially and pedagogically. The goal is to provide adjusted conditions for a functioning school attendance in a smaller context. This position is located at Kärnpunkten (grades 4-6), which has 11 student places and 8 employees.

The schools operate in small groups with high staff density, where there is also an opportunity to practice social interaction. The staff supports guardians in their parenting and collaborates with various authorities and people close to the student/family. At the different schools, educators meet students in their own premises. Teaching is conducted based on each student's conditions and needs, where students are offered all subjects. Students are met by clear, secure, and stable adults. The staff team includes mixed competencies with both teachers and resource pedagogues. We work closely with the students and base our work on the needs that arise.

The Resource Schools are an inspiring operation with great opportunities to, together with colleagues, continue to develop the Resource Schools' way of working to be at the forefront. We offer a job that is based on a student-centered approach, which means that we place great emphasis on creating teaching that is based on students' curiosity and conditions.

We are looking for you who want to make a difference for students who are struggling in school, enjoy working in a team close to colleagues, and like to find creative solutions to challenges.

Who You Are

It is a requirement that you have a relevant education, as determined by the employer, such as childcare worker, teaching assistant, or leisure pedagogue from adult education, or have completed the Child and Leisure program at high school. It is also a requirement that you have experience working with children in curriculum-based activities as an employee, through internship, or voluntarily.

It is meritorious if you have worked with students in primary school. Furthermore, it is highly meritorious if you have worked with students in need of special support, with NPF (Neurodevelopmental Disorders), in a resource school, adapted primary school, or special education group.

Furthermore, it is a requirement that you have good communicative skills in speech and writing in Swedish. This is because, according to the curriculum (Lgr22), you must organize and carry out the work so that the student receives support in their language and communication development. You are responsible for ensuring that every student can use the Swedish language in a rich and nuanced way.

In your role as a resource pedagogue, you build good relationships and collaborate well with students, colleagues, guardians, and other contacts that occur in your professional role. You have a good understanding of people's differences and relate to them in a listening manner in teaching and preschool daily life. You lead the work with students through motivation, engagement, and participation. The role also involves working with current goals and quality standards for the school together with your colleagues.

In this recruitment process, we use tests in the selection.
