Do you want to make a difference? Nearly 20,000 students did not complete compulsory school in Sweden during the 2024/2025 school year. There are schools where 7 out of 10 students do not meet upper secondary school eligibility requirements. At the nonprofit Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen, you contribute your expertise and commitment to help more students achieve the eligibility requirements with confidence for the future.
For the fall semester 2026, we are looking for homework helpers in Västra Frölunda who want to help lay the foundation for a successful school year! We are looking for someone interested in a paid part-time job while also wanting to make a concrete social impact. The position is an hourly employment in afternoons/evenings and briefly involves being a homework helper after school hours at one of our partner schools. With us, you work in a team of three homework helpers, all of whom are university/college students. You will receive training in and work according to our structured approach. Each homework help group consists of 15 students, and together with your colleagues, you are responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on the work.
As a homework helper, you can either work as a regular homework helper or as a substitute. As a regular homework helper, you work 6 h/week distributed over two scheduled afternoons/evenings (opportunity for extra substitute work available). As a substitute, you work when regular homework helpers are on leave or sick. The work is performed after school hours in the school's facilities.
We are looking for someone who:
-Is a university or college student
-Has pedagogical ability and can communicate and build relationships with children and young people.
-Is solution-oriented, takes initiative, and can work according to our structured approach and method.
-Has broad fundamental subject knowledge and good study techniques.
-Shares Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen's values and vision of a society where all children grow up with the conditions to succeed in school and shape their own future.
Since the job involves work with children, we place great emphasis on personal suitability. Providing an extract from the police criminal record register to the employer is a statutory requirement for working with children and young people.
Differences between schools, where you live, where you come from, and what your parents do increasingly determine how likely you are to succeed in school. Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen is a nonprofit foundation that works where it is needed most. Läxhjälpen is free for students, and homework helpers' salaries are financed through support from the business sector and public sector.
Läxhjälpen is a concrete initiative that addresses one of Sweden's biggest problems today - that more and more young people are not succeeding in school and risk being left out of society. Carefully selected, paid university/college students help young people with their studies two evenings a week and are also positive role models and mentors. Since our start in 2007, we have developed a structured approach and a clear goal - to improve grades and help students progress to upper secondary school. Today we operate in over 90 schools in, among others, Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Göteborg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
