Vacant job

Do you want to make a difference? 19,700 students did not complete compulsory school in Sweden during the 2024/2025 academic year. There are schools where 7 out of 10 students do not achieve eligibility for upper secondary education. At the non-profit foundation Läxhjälpen, you contribute your skills and commitment to help more students meet the eligibility requirements with confidence for their future.

We are now looking for new homework helpers in Borlänge! We are looking for you who are interested in a paid part-time job and at the same time want to make a concrete social contribution. The position is an hourly employment in the afternoons/evenings and essentially involves being a homework helper after school hours at one of our partner schools. At us, you work in a team of three homework helpers where you are all university students. You receive training in and work according to our structured approach. Each homework helper group consists of 15 students, and together with your colleagues, you are responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on the work.

As a homework helper, you can work either as a regular homework helper or as a substitute. As a regular homework helper, you work 6 hours per week distributed over two scheduled afternoons/evenings (possibility for extra shifts exists). As a substitute, you work when regular homework helpers are on leave or sick. The work is performed after school hours in the school's premises.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is a university or college student.
• Has pedagogical ability and can communicate and build relationships with children and young people.
• Is solution-oriented, proactive, and can work according to our structured approach and method.
• Has broad basic subject competence and good study techniques.
• Shares Läxhjälpen Foundation's values and vision of a society where all children grow up with the prerequisites to pass school and shape their own future.

Since the job involves working with children, we place great emphasis on personal suitability. Providing an extract from the police record for the employer is a statutory requirement for working with children and young people.

Differences between schools, where you live, where you come from, and what your parents do for a living increasingly determine the likelihood of you passing school. Läxhjälpen Foundation is a non-profit foundation that operates where it is needed most. Läxhjälpen is free for the students, and the homework helpers' salaries are financed through support from business and the public sector.

Läxhjälpen is a concrete effort addressing one of Sweden's biggest problems today – that more and more young people are not passing school and risk being excluded from society. Carefully selected, paid university students help young people with their studies two evenings a week and act as positive role models and mentors. Since our start in 2007, we have developed a structured approach and a clear goal – grades should be raised, and students should progress to upper secondary education. We are now present in over 90 schools in, among other places, Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Gothenburg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
