Stockholm – our capital city filled with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions. We work for everyone living here today and in the future. We are now looking for someone who wants to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.
Welcome to us
Kvarnbyskolan's vision is to be an attractive school for our students and employees, where we meet each day with excellence.
Kvarnbyskolan is a primary school for grades F - 6 with approximately 310 students, including an adapted primary school. The school is located in Rinkeby and has suitable facilities about 5 minutes from the subway. Kvarnbyskolan has a complete student health team and a staffed school library.
The adapted primary school is situated within the primary school's premises, and we work towards inclusion based on each student's abilities. We have two focuses: one on subjects and one on subject areas.
Your role
The adapted primary school at Kvarnbyskolan is in its startup phase, and we are looking for someone who wants to help build the best school for our students! We seek individuals with experience working with students in adapted primary education. We are currently looking for three student assistants to work in the adapted primary school, as we have opened for students focusing on subjects as well as those focusing on subject areas.
We are looking for candidates with documented experience working in adapted primary education (agr) and who are passionate about this field. It is essential for us to work collaboratively in teams, sharing experiences and knowledge. You are expected to be well-versed in adapting the learning environment and materials based on each student's needs and circumstances. You should have experience working with both students focusing on subjects and those focusing on subject areas.
You should be accustomed to engaging with students exhibiting challenging behavior, be goal-oriented and persistent, and believe that everyone can succeed with the right conditions. You should be able to work from a low-arousal approach, possess a great deal of patience, and have the ability to recognize small developmental steps (progress) in students.
You should be a calm and secure person, capable of working independently and individually with students during parts of the day. The primary responsibility for teaching lies with the teachers in agr, but for our students to succeed and become the best they can be, it is crucial that all staff work together and contribute to the whole based on their expertise and role.
Working as a student assistant in an adapted primary school offers unique and significant opportunities to influence and contribute to children's development. As a student assistant, you will help create a positive and developing environment with a good balance of care and learning – therefore, we place great importance on personal suitability.
Your qualifications and experience
We are looking for someone with a strong ethical approach towards students and colleagues, who is passionate about children's learning and strives for their development. A great deal of patience is essential.
• You should have training as a student assistant, experience as a childcare worker, or nursing training with experience working as a student assistant.
• You should have many years of documented experience working as a student assistant in an adapted primary school.
• It is advantageous if you are familiar with TAKK (sign language for communication) and/or sign language.
• It is advantageous if you have knowledge of TBA (Total Communication).
• It is advantageous if you have worked in healthcare.
