About the workplace
The schools of Helsingborg City are a resource-rich and value-driven organization. Here, as an employee, you will play an important role in our shared vision of creating the best school for every child and student.
Västra Berga School is a primary school for grades F-9 and an adapted primary school for grades 1-9. We have approximately 330 students and 80 staff members. We are a resourceful school with the desire and ability to change and develop our operations. The school is within walking distance from Maria Station, and the city bus stops just outside.
At Västra Berga School, we see ourselves as part of a global context where our operations are characterized by the equal value of all individuals. With an accessible learning environment, a democratic approach, and a sense of community, we create conditions for sustainable learning. This is characterized by the students' desire to learn, which we foster through participation, high expectations, and a clear context.
At Västra Berga, we believe that communication is a prerequisite for an accessible learning environment, equitable education, and social community. Students develop their own identity in a communicative context. Therefore, communication is not just a means but a goal of our operations.
Job Responsibilities
We are now seeking a qualified teaching assistant for our adapted primary school in a lower grade class with a focus on subject areas. In your role as a teaching assistant, you will support and assist students in their continued knowledge development, and most importantly, in fostering their independence.
As a teaching assistant, you will share responsibility for conducting lessons in the classroom alongside the teacher and your colleagues. You will carry out educational activities tailored to both the group's and individual students' specific needs, while working to create and maintain an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student feels welcome and respected. An important responsibility is to actively collaborate with guardians to build good relationships and ensure open communication. You will also participate in monitoring and evaluating students' progress in collaboration with the work team, adjusting instruction as needed to better meet students' individual needs.
What We Offer
We offer you a varied, responsible, and stimulating job with opportunities for personal development. The workplace is smoke-free and health-conscious. As an employee, you will receive a wellness allowance of 3000 SEK per year.
Qualifications
We are looking for someone with training as a teaching assistant and experience from adapted primary schools. You must be fluent in Swedish, both spoken and written, and possess strong communication skills that help you build positive relationships with students, guardians, and colleagues. It is an advantage if you are familiar with TAKK and/or visual support, as these are used as alternative means of communication with our students. We value your commitment to meeting students' individual needs, and we are looking for a person who is relational and skilled at managing and de-escalating situations in a calm and friendly manner.
