Want to make a difference? Nearly 20,000 students failed to complete compulsory school in Sweden during the 2024/2025 school year. There are schools where 7 out of 10 students don't meet the requirements for upper secondary school. At the nonprofit Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen, you can contribute your skills and commitment to help more students achieve eligibility with confidence for the future.
For the fall term 2026, we're looking for homework helpers in Partille and Bergsjön who want to help lay the foundation for a great school year! We're seeking someone interested in a paid part-time job who also wants to make a concrete social impact. The position is an hourly job in the afternoons/evenings and involves being a homework helper after school hours at one of our partner schools. You'll work as part of a team of three homework helpers, all of whom are university students. You'll receive training in and work according to our structured approach. Each homework help group consists of 15 students, and together with your colleagues you're responsible for planning, implementing, and following up the work.
As a homework helper, you can work either as a regular homework helper or as a substitute. As a regular homework helper you work 6 hours per week spread across two scheduled afternoons/evenings (opportunities for extra substitute shifts are 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're 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 foundational 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 working with children, we place great emphasis on personal suitability. Providing an extract from the police criminal record register to the employer is a legal 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 operates where it's needed most. Homework help is free for students, and homework helpers' salaries are funded through support from the business sector and public sector.
Läxhjälpen is a concrete intervention targeting one of Sweden's biggest challenges today—increasing numbers of young people not succeeding in school and risking exclusion from society. Carefully selected, paid university students help young people with their studies two evenings a week and serve as positive role models and mentors. Since our founding in 2007, we've 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 including Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Göteborg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
