One thing is certain. With us, you make a difference. We are the teacher who helps little brother read his first words and the after-school staff who create laughter after the school day ends. We are childcare workers who help someone grow every day and the librarian who brings literature closer. Together, we strive for knowledge, for meaning-making, and for a joyful everyday life for children and young people. There is something beautiful in that. Do you also want to work for the future in Kiruna Municipality? Come and be a part of the community at the Culture and Education Administration.
JOB DESCRIPTION
As a school counselor at Högalidskolan, you will work to lead and develop initiatives in social and psychosocial work at the individual, group, and organizational levels. Your role includes providing support and being a resource for the working teams in their efforts with children's and young people's learning. You will contribute to the school working health-promoting and preventive measures against mental ill-health, bullying, degrading treatment, discrimination, and harassment. You will also help ensure that all students achieve their educational goals and develop socially and emotionally in an environment that promotes learning. In the role of school counselor, you are also required to collaborate with other professionals in student health as well as with organizations and authorities outside the school.
