About the job

We are looking for an engaged pedagogue for our kindergarten.

The position is initially for 37 hours , but we are open to dialogue about the number of hours, so we together find the solution that fits best.

With us you don’t just get a job. You get the opportunity to help create a kindergarten where children’s well-being, development and belonging are the central focus, and where your ideas and your professionalism are taken seriously.

We believe that the best solutions arise when employees are given responsibility, influence and the opportunity to develop.

At the same time we actively work with flexible working hours . This means that you, together with colleagues, help plan the shift distribution and have a strong influence on your working hours. We experience that this creates a stronger sense of community, increases job satisfaction and provides better balance between work and private life.

We believe that the best decisions are made close to practice. Therefore, our management is visible, accessible and actively involved in daily life. You will experience leadership that listens, exchanges ideas and supports you in your pedagogical work, and is curious about your ideas and perspectives.

We emphasize dialogue, trust and shared responsibility. This means that as an employee you have influence on the development of both pedagogy, daily life and the work community.
