Vacant job

We are now looking for dedicated teaching assistants who want to help create a safe, structured, and joyful everyday life for our students. With us, you become part of a tight-knit team where we support each other and develop together. We welcome your application!

Your responsibilities

As a teaching assistant, you are responsible for contributing to the realization of the curriculum's goals and intentions in the operations. Together with colleagues, you plan, implement, and document the pedagogical work in the school and at the after-school center.

The role of a teaching assistant involves being a support and resource for individual students or groups of students. This means being present as a support for the student(s) regarding practical challenges that arise during a school day, being present during lessons to clarify the teacher's instructions, and being an extra adult who can support the schoolwork. The role also involves being present during after-school hours to support the student(s) in social interaction with other classmates and to support the students in the activities carried out at the after-school center in the afternoons.

In the work at the after-school center, your task, according to the curriculum, is to stimulate the students' development and learning and offer them a meaningful leisure time. The operations should be based on the students' needs, interests, and experiences, but also that the students are continuously challenged further by being inspired to new discoveries. In the teaching, students should be offered a variety of working methods, forms of expression, and learning environments that integrate care and learning.

In this position, you will work closely with students with various types of neurodevelopmental disorders (NPF). You will provide support throughout the day based on the student(s)' daily condition, prerequisites, interests, and needs.

Your workplace
