ISH was established in 1995 to answer a growing demand for a truly international education at the Primary and Secondary levels. Today, we have approximately 800 students between 3 and 19 years of age attending our school across all programmes. The school delivers the International Baccalaureate curriculums.

Our teachers come from more than 30 different countries all over the world, and the same goes for our students. English is the primary language at the school.

Our Early Years, Primary and Middle School programmes offer an alternative for international families who are residing in the Helsingborg region on a temporary basis, or for those moving overseas. Our Diploma Program is an excellent choice for all students, Swedish or International, looking to further their studies abroad or in Sweden once they graduate. The aim of our school is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.

ISH prides itself on its international uniqueness and diversity of teaching staff and students. Each and every one of them bring something exciting and enriching to the school which creates an inspiring environment. IB diploma results are considerably higher than the IB world average on grades, points and diploma achievement. We are currently looking to add members to our PYP team.

As a PYP Early Years 1-3 student assistant, your role is to support the student within the class at the direction of the SEN teacher. A student assistant is an important and equal part of the team and together, the teacher, the class assistant (if there is one) and the student assistant provide an environment that enables the student receiving support to participate in a respectful environment that encourages positive interpersonal interactions, is stimulating, encourages inquiry and is clean and orderly. You will be responsible for supporting the academic, social and emotional development of the student. You will work closely with the class teacher, SEN teacher and other relevant teachers in our school, particularly the other primary school following the philosophy of the IB education.

It is a requirement that you possess a degree/certificate in neuro-psychological disorders such as ASD/Asbergers, ADHD, Specific Language Impairment, and/or Tourettes. Training and knowledge of the PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) and the Swedish TAKK (Tecken som alternativ och kompletterande kommunikation) as alternative/augmentative communication systems is a strong merit. Experience in working with students who have a diagnosis is preferred. Since we work in an international environment, it is a requirement of the position to be fluent in English, both in speaking and writing.
