We are always on the lookout for new skills – colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences, united by the common drive to create a better municipality to visit, live, work, and call home.

Do you have a strong commitment and want to help our students with their studies and career choices through a coaching approach? Do you want to guide them from job dreams to dream jobs and create the future together with them? Then Sandagymnasiet has the role for you!

Your new job

We are looking for a study and career counselor who wants to give our young people the opportunity to develop their decision-making competence based on knowledge, abilities, and skills. The responsibilities include informing students and guardians about choices, as well as mentoring and guiding students through various decision-making processes. You will work in close collaboration with your SYV (Study and Career Counselor) colleagues, the school's student health team, with the principal as your manager, and together with teachers. The position covers both vocational preparatory and university preparatory programs.

You work with students who need guidance and study techniques, follow up on individual study plans, and participate in student conferences. As a study and career counselor, you conduct information sessions in classes, group activities, and individual counseling meetings. You work both informatively and coachingly, primarily towards students, but also towards teachers and other school staff.

Welcome to us

Sandagymnasiet in Huskvarna consists of two school forms: an adapted upper secondary school and a standard upper secondary school. Sanda Sports Center is part of the operations, where sports education is conducted during school hours as part of the upper secondary education. Approximately 1,400 students attend here, and we have around 200 employees.

At Sandagymnasiet, our students' knowledge, well-being, and personal development are at the forefront. We are one of the leading schools in Sweden in sports, offering our students the opportunity to combine studies and sports at all levels.

Here, you will find a workplace with dedicated and competent colleagues, where we work according to our shared keywords: Joy, Commitment, Security, Challenge, and Professionalism – GET UP. We care for each other and work to create a workplace where we all thrive and develop.

Your qualifications

You have a degree from a study and career counseling program at the university/college level, and we consider it an advantage if you have previously worked at an upper secondary school. We believe you can see various exciting future possibilities together with the students and that you have a genuine interest in young people. To thrive in this role, it is important that you are self-reliant, proactive, flexible, and solution-focused in your work style.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability, valuing both your qualifications and personal traits. We expect you to…

• have a strategic approach and good organizational skills
• consider students' different needs and prerequisites
• find it easy to build relationships with students, guardians, and colleagues
• have the ability to interest, inspire, and engage students
