Educational Psychological Advisor

Educational-Psychological Advisor for PPS (Pedagogical, Psychological & Health-Professional Counseling), Billund Municipality

Would a good working life for you be a daily routine with meaningful tasks, opportunities for influence and a strong collegial community, both mono- and cross-disciplinary? Then you might be the one we are looking for.

PPS consists of in total about 36 employees with five different professional backgrounds: health visitors, speech and hearing therapists, special pedagogical advisors, educational-psychological advisors and a physiotherapist. In collaboration with parents and professionals in day-care 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 actor in cooperation with, among others, the Family Department and the Youth Department. In addition to the internal interdisciplinary collaboration within Billund Municipality, PPS also participates in several external collaborations with both the maternity wards, child and adolescent psychiatric departments, privately practicing doctors and Campus Grindsted.

Furthermore, since 2024 PPS, in collaboration with the Family House, has offered a range of easily accessible treatment options for children and adolescents in psychological distress.

In PPS we are committed to ensuring that our collaboration with day-care and schools makes a difference for the children, young people and families that all our tasks target. More and more children and young people show symptoms of distress. This 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.

More tasks related to easily accessible treatment mean that we are expanding. Therefore we are seeking an Educational-Psychological Advisor for employment in PPS, Billund Municipality. The position is a permanent 37-hour role.
