Competent pedagogue sought for specialized residential facility for adults with complex issues

Would you like to use your professional skills where they make the biggest difference? At Stevnsbogaard on Nordfyn we are seeking a dedicated pedagogue who is passionate about creating development and security for adults with development disabilities – in combination with communication disorders, outward-directed behavior, personality disorders, or court-related issues.

About Stevnsbogaard

We are a social-pedagogical residential facility (§107 and §108) located in scenic surroundings on Nordfyn.

Our approach in meeting the citizens is that we never refuse without guidance. This means that in, for example, conflict situations where the citizen feels frustrated or exhibits inappropriate behavior, we give the citizen an alternative instruction for their behavior, rather than a rejection that may make the citizen feel wronged.

We work with a high level of professionalism. For us, this means prioritizing daily sparring and close collaboration with management, colleagues, and relatives. We often use internal and external supervision, have interesting training days, and good individual opportunities for further and continuing education.

Currently, many of our employees are taking LA2 and LA2U courses and certification. In 2026, many of our staff are enrolled in KRAP basic training.

Practical example

‘’Sofie is 19 years old and lives at the residential facility. She has a mild developmental disability, ADHD, and periods of depression. She can respond with anger and withdraw, especially when she feels misunderstood in the community. Together with her contact person, Sofie works from KRAP. They start by making a resource flower , where Sofie herself points out that she is good at helping others, drawing, taking care of her routines, and saying no when something feels uncomfortable.

This gives her self-confidence and motivation. Next they use a cognitive case formulation to examine a concrete situation where Sofie became angry because she thought the others were laughing at her. They identify her thought: “They are laughing at me,” the feeling: sad and angry, and the action: scold and walk away. Together they find a new thought: “Maybe it’s not about me,” which gives her more calm. To continue, they use the Crossing the bridge .

Sofie learns to pause and sense what she needs in the situation – e.g., to go outside and breathe, or ask for support from a staff member. Finally they create a goal ladder , where Sofie sets a concrete goal: to be able to stay in a social situation without getting angry. The first step is to walk away calmly, the next is to use breathing, and later to be able to ask others what they meant – instead of assuming the worst.

After several months of working with the above, Sofie experiences fewer conflicts and greater well-being. She begins to take the initiative to use the tools in daily life.’’
