AKG Sverige Seeks Educator for Value-Creating Assignment - IPSU!
AKG Sverige AB (formerly Jobfind Sverige) is a dynamic company that has grown rapidly, from approximately 15 employees in 2023 to over 170 engaged colleagues today. As part of Angus Knight Group, a global actor in education, employment, and community services, we are dedicated to making a positive difference for individuals and communities. We work to broaden participants' perspectives on the labor market and career opportunities, focusing on participants' needs and development.
IPSU - Individual Pedagogical Support in Education is a valuable and high-quality service procured by the Swedish Public Employment Service, with the ultimate goal of taking strategic responsibility in labor market policy by giving more people the chance to complete education in various shortage occupations.
To make educational initiatives accessible for job seekers with disabilities, the Public Employment Service offers specialized pedagogical support in the form of IPSU through our interventions.
As an IPSU Educator, you will work most closely with our participants under the guidance of our special education specialist. Assignments vary significantly and may involve a pedagogical approach where you meet the participant several hours each day or just a few hours per week.
Pedagogical support for each participant occurs at various educational providers, ensuring a varied and developing work environment. It is important that you enjoy a changing work situation. Some lessons on certain education programs take place in outdoor environments.
Your mission is to contribute to participants' ability to complete their studies through special education methods and the use of technical aids, apps, etc. You are a complement to the regular teacher and are not expected to teach or be knowledgeable about the subjects in the current curriculum.
The role primarily involves:
• Pedagogical work supporting (1) participant in an educational setting
• Collaboration and dialogue with staff at various actors providing educational initiatives for our participants
• Participation in collegial forums, follow-ups, and quality work
• Collaboration with responsible specialists such as audiologists, special education specialists, vision educators, sign language competence, or licensed occupational therapists
• Reporting and documentation of implemented interventions in various systems
Your workday will be flexible, challenging, and highly value-creating!
We at AKG Sverige work in teams, and you will be part of a collegial forum where development and collaboration are natural elements of the workday. To thrive with us, we believe you enjoy testing different approaches and methods, continuously evaluating, and are comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
Since the role involves numerous contacts within and outside the organization, you need to easily create trustful relationships with people.
At AKG Sverige, there is an expectation that each employee takes responsibility for increasing self-awareness about the conditions needed to feel good and succeed at work – and dares to communicate these to colleagues. Together, we can accomplish almost anything!
Formal Requirements and Desired Experience:
