Vacant job

Description

We are now looking for a responsible and warm teaching assistant to join our team in year 2 at Färila School. In this role, you have a specific and important task: to be the primary support for a student with type 1 diabetes. You will be the student's safe haven during the school day, ensuring that medical needs are handled correctly, while also supporting the student and the year group in pedagogical and social activities. In this role, it is important that you can remain calm in stressful situations and quickly assess the student's well-being and daily condition. You understand the importance of fixed routines regarding medication and diet, and you find it easy to collaborate with children, guardians, teachers, and school nurses.

Responsibilities

You monitor blood sugar levels, assist with insulin dosing via technical aids, and act quickly in case of fluctuations. You support the student individually during lessons, as well as helping out in the entire year group, in smaller groups, and during leisure time. You are present as support during breaks and at lunchtime, where carbohydrate counting and meal routines are an important part.

Qualifications

This position requires experience with type 1 diabetes (in children or adults). Experience working with younger children, preferably in schools or after-school centers, is highly meritorious. Education in healthcare, pedagogy, or as a teaching assistant is also considered a plus.

Personal maturity and suitability are of great importance.

We welcome your application!
