Become an educator at Børnehuset Land og By – where children's lives are lived both in the city and the countryside

Re-advertisement

Do you want to help create secure relationships, strong communities and space for children's curiosity, play and development?

In Børnehuset Land og By on Nørrebro, we are looking for enthusiastic pedagogues for both the nursery and the kindergarten. We are a house in development, where we together work to create the best framework for children's well-being, learning, development and formation.

Here you will have the opportunity to put your professional expertise to use, immerse yourself in the relationships with the children and become part of a work community where we develop the pedagogical practice together.

A child’s life with room for adventure

One of the special things about Børnehuset Land og By is our outreach area in Mikkelborg near Rungsted, where the three kindergarten groups rotate taking two groups at a time and spend two weeks out of three there. The last week we are back at the house on Nørrebro.

In the countryside, children have the opportunity to explore nature, play on our large grounds, experience the beach just outside the door and explore the forest in the backyard.

Here there is room for movement, imagination, immersion and shared experiences – and for following the children's initiatives and letting their curiosity lead the way.

In the city we likewise create frameworks for presence, play, communities and exciting everyday experiences.

In the nursery you get the opportunity to closely follow the development of the youngest children and help create a daily routine where there is room for each child's needs, curiosity and initiatives. We know that small moments make a big difference – the gaze, the smile, the secure embrace and the adult who is close by and helps the child explore the world at their own pace.

We work deliberately to create safe environments where children can develop their independence, language, motor skills and social relationships through play, repetition and attentive interaction.

Safe relationships are the foundation

We believe that children do well when they can. Therefore our pedagogical work starts from trust, security and credibility in the relationship between child and adult. We work with inspiration from the Safety Circle (Tryghedscirklen) and Low Arousal – also called tuned pedagogy – and focus on meeting the children with care, understanding and appropriate expectations.

We want to create a daily life where children feel seen, understood and valued.

This means, among other things, that we

• are curious about the children's perspectives, needs and initiatives
• articulate children's actions and feelings and help them understand themselves and others
• adjust our expectations and support to each individual child and the needs of the child group
• give space for both child-initiated play and adult-planned activities
• support children's linguistic, motor and social development through presence and participation

We are focused on creating a child-centred everyday life where play, relationships and the small moments get the space they deserve.

We develop together – professionally and personally

At Land og By you become part of a staff group with a strong focus on professional development. We work systematically to investigate and develop the quality of our pedagogical practice. We use tools such as TOPI, Sprogtrappen and KIDS and use our observations and data to learn more about the children's everyday lives and our own practice.

We prioritise meetings, preparation and planning, because we know that good pedagogy requires time for professional reflection and a common direction.

At the same time, we believe that a good childhood begins with adults who thrive in their work. Therefore we are committed to a sustainable work environment, collegial feedback and a culture where we help each other and take shared responsibility.

Accessible leadership – both in the city and in the countryside

At Børnehuset Land og By we believe that good pedagogy develops in close cooperation between staff and management. Therefore we prioritise approachable and accessible leadership that is close to daily life and staff practices – both in the house on Nørrebro and in our outreach area in Mikkelborg.

We want you to experience leadership that is visible, responsive and engaged in the pedagogical work. Leadership that takes time for dialogue, professional sparring and joint reflection, and that supports you and your colleagues in creating the best conditions for the children's well-being, development and communities.

For us, accessible leadership means being close to both people and practice and creating coherence, direction and security across the city and the countryside.

Who are you?

We are looking for someone who is trained as a pedagogue – whether you are a recent graduate or have many years of experience.

We imagine that you

• are eager to create present and developing relationships with children
• are attentive to the children's initiatives and can adapt your pedagogy to their needs
• can take responsibility for planning, implementing and evaluating play and activities
• are curious about your own practice and want to develop professionally together with your colleagues
• have an interest in or want to learn more about Tryghedscirklen and Low Arousal
• can maintain your professional calm and reflect on your own role in the interaction with the children
• wish to contribute actively to a positive and committed work community

The most important is that you want to make a difference for the children and contribute to developing our shared pedagogical practice.
