We are seeking a wellbeing counselor as of January 1, 2027 (maternity leave substitute)

Bankagerskolen seeks, as of January 1, 2027, a wellbeing advisor for the school and after-school care (SFO). The position is a maternity cover.

As our wellbeing advisor will go on maternity leave, we are looking for a wellbeing advisor who, together with the leadership team and staff, will help continue our good collaborative culture regarding the students’ learning, well-being and personal mastery. Likewise, we are looking for you because you are passionate about creating the best opportunities for participation for all children at Bankagerskolen.

Maybe this is the opening for you who have been considering whether this could be a path to take in the future. You could, for example, be an AKT advisor, attached to the intermediate form, or come with experience from the specialized school sector.

It could be interesting if you have knowledge about school absenteeism and autism-friendly pedagogy. You could also have knowledge of how the physical environment interacts with the pedagogical and didactic approach.

As wellbeing advisor you will be attached to our intermediate form, Broen, where we focus on close collaboration with class teams and creating participation opportunities for the students in the classrooms.

You will also be part of the overall advisor group, where we work systematically with interventions in classes/grades. You will be a central figure if it becomes necessary to work with the school’s anti-bullying strategy.

In the upper grades you will, among other things, be responsible for teaching the Basal material.

The close collaboration with the pedagogical leaders forms the basis for being the coordinator in student matters, where there are network meetings and cooperation with parents, children, teams and the external support system.

As wellbeing advisor at Bankagerskolen you create, through your presence, your care and your resource-oriented perspective, coherence for the school’s most vulnerable children and young people, while with trust and credibility you create a safe and constructive advisory space for the school’s pedagogical staff.

What you will focus on

• To ensure close cooperation between staff and management to create participation opportunities.
• To provide guidance and sparring to the school’s pedagogical staff in working with vulnerable children and young people.
• To provide guidance and sparring in work with communication, action plans and other pedagogical initiatives with flexibility in mind.
• To support the work with identification of student absenteeism and measures that promote the child’s attendance in the community.
• To support and advise colleagues in a complex everyday life, where we insist that ALL children must learn and thrive in good communities.
• To be a central part of our middle form, Broen.

About you

• You approach daily life with trust, curiosity and professional sparring . You are a present teacher/educator/psychologist/psychotherapist/social worker who prioritizes dialogue at eye level, easy accessibility and focus on professional and well-being development. And you are happy to bring your professional, theoretical and practical knowledge into play.
• You are passionate about the public school. You are motivated by the core task and manage to create good frameworks for collaboration, communication, development and well-being.
• You are a team player. You collaborate with relevant parties in the work of creating learning and well-being among students – and among your colleagues. You are happy to contribute to the work of prioritizing the use of the school’s resources.
