Do you want to be part of us and help develop our amazing school?
Adapted high school in Köping has approximately 50 students and 18 employees.
Our students have an intellectual disability but may also have additional diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, ADD, language disorders, and physical variations. Students are enrolled in either our national programs or individual programs depending on their support needs. Students have a significant need for clarifying pedagogy, including visual support and sign language as an alternative communication method (TAKK).
We value clear and structured leadership where you create a safe environment that lays the foundation for students' learning. Our goal is for all students to leave school with good knowledge, great confidence in themselves and their learning, to be able to choose their best path in the future.
We are now seeking a student assistant for national programs and a student assistant for individual programs.
TASKS
You will be with students during the school day as a trusted adult. You motivate and support students during lessons according to the teacher's instructions. In national programs, students have practical instruction, sometimes at companies or with clients where you will also be present. You support students in changing rooms. During potential swimming lessons, you will be with students in the pool. During physical education lessons, you are actively involved with students as support.
We also have after-school activities where a small portion of your work time may be allocated.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for someone with experience working in adapted schools or experience working with individuals with intellectual disabilities or other diagnoses.
This job is for someone who can work independently but sees collaboration as an essential condition for students' and the organization's development. It is important that you are calm, empathetic, and good at building relationships. You need to be flexible and able to adapt to new situations.
The work involves creating good relationships with students, colleagues, and guardians. You work systematically and communicate easily both verbally and in writing.
