Are you the safe and clear adult our students need?

Are you looking for a working day that is both varied, meaningful and full of development opportunities? Then this could be the job for you.

With us, you'll meet students who need safe and clear adults who see, hear and support them in small and large situations. At the same time, you'll be working in an environment that can be challenging, sometimes a little unpredictable, and requires you to stand your ground when the wind blows. But that's precisely why this is also one of the jobs where you learn the most - about the children, about the subject and about yourself.

We are looking for a committed and multilingual resource who can create security, inclusion and mastery.

The position has work at both Østvang school and SFO, and will follow the school route. This means that you will have time off during school holidays, and receive 89% salary throughout the year.
It is desirable to start preferably from 01.08. or from the start of school, 17.08.26

Tasks

Qualifications

• It is desirable to have a professional certificate as a child and youth worker, or other educational training. Relevant experience can compensate for lack of education.
• You must speak and understand Ukrainian or Russian fluently, as this is crucial for communication and security. You must also be able to communicate well in Norwegian.
• Experience from working with children or special education work is a great advantage.

• Are good at building relationships and creating trust
