Educational-Psychological Advisor

Pedagogical, Psychological & Health-professional Advisory for PPS (Pædagogisk, Psykologisk & Sundhedsfaglig Rådgivning), Billund Municipality, maternity leave vacancy

Is a good working life for you a day-to-day with meaningful tasks, opportunity for influence, and a strong collegial community, both mono- and cross-disciplinary? Then this might be you we are looking for.

PPS consists of in total about 36 employees with five different professional backgrounds: health visitors, speech-language pathologists, special educational mentors, pedagogical psychological advisers and a physiotherapist. In collaboration with parents and professionals in kindergartens and schools, PPS is part of the early, preventive effort and contributes to ensuring good development and learning opportunities for all children and young people.

This work is supported by the interdisciplinary collaboration, where PPS acts as a central player in cooperation with, among others, the Family Department and the Youth Department. In addition to the internal cross-disciplinary collaboration within Billund Municipality, PPS also participates in several external collaborations with both maternity wards, child and adolescent psychiatric departments, privately practicing doctors and Campus Grindsted.

Furthermore, since 2024 PPS, in cooperation with Family House, has offered a range of accessible treatment options for children and youth experiencing psychological distress.

At PPS we are focused on ensuring that our collaboration with kindergartens and schools makes a difference for the children, youths, and families whom all our tasks target. More and more children and youths show signs of distress. It requires that our focus is practice-oriented, and that recommendations target the child’s everyday life. We are together with the professionals around the child curious about what lies behind the child’s behavior – what it invites – in order to be ambitious and targeted on behalf of all children.

One of our pedagogical psychological advisers is going on maternity leave and therefore we are seeking a pedagogical psychological adviser for a 37-hour maternity cover.
