About Us

Stiftelsen Årsta Gård operates a special needs primary and upper secondary school with a Waldorf pedagogical approach, located in southern Stockholm.

We are situated in a beautiful natural setting in a large park next to Årstaviken Bay. In this large park, we cultivate gardens and conduct much of the outdoor teaching that is a hallmark of our school. The teaching is highly practical, as we believe that hands-on learning enhances students' ability to further develop their thinking in theoretical subjects. The school day has a clear, structured rhythm, as does the entire school year. Great emphasis is placed on communication, allowing students the opportunity to express themselves and speak up based on their individual prerequisites.

Job Description

As a student assistant, you will accompany one or more students throughout their entire day, during lessons, and subsequently during after-school care/short-term supervision. You will largely function as a link between the students and their surroundings. You are a calm and reassuring person who meets the students based on their needs and prerequisites, working to ensure that everyone feels included. You take the initiative to motivate, inspire, and stimulate the students in their development. Together, you will make the school day the best it can possibly be! You will assist students with communication, personal hygiene (in some cases), mobility, meal situations, and social interaction.
