Job Responsibilities

As a student assistant in special education, you work with one or more students, both during the school day and at the after-school center. You are part of a work team linked to the class and a work team at the after-school center, collaborating with other professional groups.

In your role, you follow the students throughout the day and contribute to their overall development – socially, communicatively, and academically. You are involved in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the pedagogical work, under the guidance of responsible educators in school and at the after-school center. You are also part of the after-school center's work team, where you contribute to operational development in collaboration with the responsible educator and school management. The assignment also includes elements of care and self-care. The work is varied and adapted to the students' different needs and conditions.

You also have knowledge of low-affective approaches and insight into the school's governing documents, with the ability to apply them in daily work. The assignment requires a professional attitude, good teamwork skills, and flexibility in working methods. You are confident in the role of an adult role model, create trust and security in the meeting with students, and find it easy to build good relationships with students, guardians, and colleagues.
