Vacant job

Description

Kungsladugårdsskolan is a school for grades F-6 with approximately 620 students. Our organization also includes a special needs primary school with about 35 students. The school is located in Majorna, close to many beautiful environments, including Slottsskogen and Svaleboskogen. It is also easy to reach central Gothenburg and the southern archipelago by tram and bus. Kungsladugårdsskolan's core philosophy is that all children are everyone's children.

We are looking for an engaged and empathetic teaching assistant who speaks Bengali and Swedish and is passionate about creating a safe and stimulating learning environment for our students.

Responsibilities

As a teaching assistant, you will primarily support students with special needs, both in and outside the classroom. Each of these students is unique, with their own skills, abilities, experiences, and challenges. Your work as a teaching assistant will therefore involve meeting each student individually, helping them identify and showcase their strengths, and supporting them with areas they find challenging. Together with teachers and other staff, you will work to create a safe and inclusive environment where every student has the opportunity to feel well, thrive, succeed, build relationships with others, and learn new things.

As a teaching assistant, you will also be present during recess. Depending on whether you work with individual students or the whole class, this may involve responsibility for recess activities, which are planned by those responsible for recess operations, preferably in consultation with the teaching assistants themselves.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with a secondary education, preferably with a pedagogical focus. For this position, we require previous experience working as a teaching assistant, as well as knowledge and experience of low-affective interaction, or other experience that the employer deems equivalent. Since the role involves supporting a student whose mother tongue is Bengali, it is necessary that you can communicate in both Swedish and Bengali, both verbally and in writing.

As a person, you are sensitive and a good communicator. You work in a structured manner with individual adaptations and clear pedagogy, and have a low-affective approach. You have good collaboration skills and can build trusting relationships with colleagues, students, and guardians. You are confident in yourself and your professional role.

You should be willing to develop the operations based on each student's needs together with your colleagues. In an area characterized by linguistic and cultural diversity, we see differences as an asset. It is natural to us that you, as an applicant, share our desire to support all students based on their prerequisites.

You need to be active, participatory, proactive, and flexible to meet the different people and tasks the job entails.

We welcome your application!

Please note that expressing interest is only possible for you if you have a permanent position in the primary school administration.
