RESPONSIBILITIES

As a social pedagogue, you work closely with students and are an important part of their entire school day. You create a safe, clear, and structured learning environment and support students' social development, communication, and independence based on their individual needs. The role includes using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), training social interaction and life skills, and providing support in everyday situations.

You actively work with attendance-promoting initiatives, recess activities, and equal treatment work, and are available as a support for students during school breaks, both during recesses and between lessons. The work is done in close collaboration with teachers, guardians, and the student health team to create the best conditions for each student's development, participation, and well-being.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for you who have:

• Education from a university college (YH) or folk high school as a social pedagogue
• Good knowledge of neuropsychiatric disabilities and a low-affective approach that gives students good conditions to succeed both socially and in their learning

It is an advantage if you have experience working in adapted schools as a social pedagogue or in similar roles.

You need to have the ability to listen, be patient, and understand how students absorb knowledge based on their different conditions. You work from a salutogenic approach, where the focus is on what the student can do and feels good about, rather than difficulties. The role also requires a calm and stable attitude, as well as a good ability to create safe relationships that support the student's development and participation.
