Teaching Assistant for Children with Special Needs

We are a small Waldorf preschool in Visby seeking two teaching assistants for children with special needs.

We are looking for someone positive, attentive, flexible, quick-thinking, and genuinely interested in supporting children's development. The goal is to teach children strategies that help them become independent and participate in preschool activities based on their abilities.

To ensure smooth work, you need to be communicative, have good collaboration skills, and be good at keeping track of schedules and order.

It is also important to have the ability to set constructive and reasonable boundaries according to the situation and needs.

You need to have great patience and physical strength, as the positions involve some lifting.

Previous life experience, work experience, and/or education with children with special needs, and knowledge or willingness to learn sign language as support, are highly valued.

We prioritize play, diversity, ecology, joy of movement, music, vegetarian food, and outdoor activities year-round. As a small private preschool, you become part of a community where we jointly care for our premises and garden, with Waldorf pedagogy as the foundation for all our decisions and creations.

The positions are 75% and 50% respectively, starting in mid-August. The salary includes vegetarian and organic food, as well as the opportunity to substitute as needed beyond the position. You also receive a clothing allowance and a wellness benefit. The positions are fixed-term until December 31, 2026, with possible extension until June 30, 2027.

Last application date is July 31.

We are on vacation in July but check our email, so if you have any questions about the positions, email us and we will reply.
