WORK TASKS
As a language development specialist, you have an important mission to support individuals whose native language is not Swedish in their path toward employment or studies.

The role includes, among other things:

• collaborating with SFI and other educational actors
• engaging in dialogue with employers about language requirements and possible adjustments
• following up on and documenting participants' language progression
• participating in follow-up and planning meetings.
The work is based on participants' individual action plans according to the BIP method and takes place in close collaboration with supervisors, employment case managers, and other colleagues within the unit. The role is varied and suits you if you want to combine teaching, pedagogical development work, collaboration, and individual-focused support.

You are comfortable meeting people from different backgrounds and have a professional, clear, and respectful approach. As a person, you are pedagogical, structured, and clear in your communication. You have the ability to adapt methods and level based on your target audience and create a safe and learning environment. You are relationship-building, attentive, and independent, while also having good collaboration skills and wanting to contribute to developing the organization's approaches. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
For the position, you must have:
• education in Swedish as a second language, teacher education, or pedagogy
• experience working with Swedish as a second language
• experience working with adult participants
• knowledge of language-focused approaches
• excellent skills in Swedish, both spoken and written
• computer proficiency and knowledge of the Office package
• a Category B driver's license.
