Vacant job

Description

Do you want to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people? As a school assistant, you are a key adult in the school who contributes to safety, structure, and motivation. You meet students where they are, build relationships, and help them succeed both academically and socially – in the classroom as well as outside.

At Hultsbergsskolan, you will encounter a school where the students' development and well-being are in focus. We are a comprehensive school (grades 0–9) with approximately 500 students, as well as a special needs school, and we work from a relational approach and an accessible learning environment. Here, you will become part of an engaged team working together to create safety, study peace, and good conditions for every student to succeed.

Are you looking for a varied job where you have the opportunity to be a significant and secure adult in the students' school day? Then this might be the job for you. We are now looking for two school assistants – one full-time position (100%) in grade 4 and one part-time position (80%) in grade 7.

Job Responsibilities

As a school assistant, you have a varied and meaningful role where you make a difference in the students' daily lives. You provide pedagogical and social support during the school day – in the classroom, during breaks, during transitions, and in other contexts where your presence creates safety and structure. In some cases, the role also includes supporting students with care needs or those who may display challenging behaviors.

You support one or more students in both teaching and social interaction, and you collaborate closely with teachers and other staff to create a safe, accessible, and stimulating learning environment based on each student's needs. The position may also include work in the leisure center (fritidshem), where you contribute to a meaningful and developmental activity after the end of the school day.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who are trained as a school assistant or have experience that the employer assesses as equivalent.

As a person, you easily create safety and good relationships with both students and colleagues, and you are used to working both independently and in teams. You are flexible and can quickly switch between different tasks – for example, from supporting an individual student with special needs to leading an activity for a whole group of students. You are sensitive to the students' daily mood and needs, and can adapt your approach accordingly. Your communication skills enable you to explain tasks clearly, calm situations in stressful moments, and collaborate effectively with both colleagues and guardians.

The work can sometimes be both physically and mentally demanding, and it is important that you have the ability to remain calm, create structure, and build trusting relationships. At the same time, you get the opportunity to make a real difference in the students' daily lives – a role that is both challenging and rewarding.

With us, you become an important part of creating an inclusive and inspiring school environment where every student gets the opportunity to develop as much as possible.

The position will be filled if necessary decisions are made.
