Educator for the youngest in the Fokus class – permanent 35-hour position - Sofiendalskolen

Would you like to help shape the future DUS in entirely new pedagogical frames at Sofiendalskolen?

Then read on …

At Sofiendalskolen we are in full swing developing our after-school and teaching environments – both through major physical renovations and through new pedagogical strategies. We are now seeking a skilled, ambitious and well-educated pedagogue for the school's youngest special class, whom we hope will be part of that journey.

As something completely unique, we in DUS work with swimming and virtual golf as learning and inclusion activities – and we actively participate in Erasmus+ projects, where we share and gain inspiration from schools abroad. It gives you the opportunity to become part of both local and international development tracks.

We are looking for you who have a view for both the child and the community.

We are seeking a pedagogue with a strong special educational profile and a desire to create participation opportunities for all children. With us you meet students with different prerequisites and needs. Therefore it is important that you see the person before the diagnosis and meet each child in an affirming way – even when daily life is challenging.

You will become part of a learning environment where clear classroom management, structure and calm help give the children safety and direction. The task requires you to maintain an overview in complex situations and keep a cool head when pressure rises. We work with a neuroeducational approach, and we hope that you want to contribute to it and help translate professional knowledge into motivating, practice-based teaching and play.

Play features heavily in the work with the youngest students. We therefore seek a pedagogue who wants to engage in play and who sees their ability to play with the children as one of their greatest strengths. At the same time, the work is about developing pedagogical processes that both challenge and compensate. The programs should give the students experiences and strategies that can help them succeed academically, socially and personally.

Work takes place both in school hours and in DUS. You must be able to naturally switch between supporting teaching and creating good pedagogical activities in the leisure part. You will also be part of cross-collaboration with Focus Class-DUS, where ideas, engagement and willingness to try new paths are important contributions to the community.

We place emphasis on good team collaboration. That means you are mentalizing, strongly collaborative and have a sense of how to create shared ownership of the students' development. Humor, positivity and integrity are also part of the professional approach we want to see in one another.

You are a trained pedagogue and wish to become part of an ambitious environment where wellbeing and learning go hand in hand. A diploma or master's degree is an advantage, but not a requirement. Experience from the school sector is also a plus, but the most important is your professional competence and enthusiasm for the task. The position entails at least one morning opening and one afternoon closing in DUS.

About Sofiendalskolen

We are a city school in Aalborg SV with about 700 students and over 100 staff. Our DUS (after-school care) is an important central point of the children’s everyday life, where we balance between free activities and structured programs. We work daily based on the values integrity, trust, collaboration and decisive action – values you should also be able to see yourself in. Sofiendalskolen is in the middle of a major renovation of the whole school, and we expect our new primary school building to be ready by late 2026, with the entire construction expected to be finished in 2027-28.

You will become part of a school that rises together

With us you will become part of a school in development, where academic immersion, new ideas and a strong sense of community go hand in hand. We take care every day to create good conditions for students’ learning and wellbeing – and for a working environment where employees can thrive, develop and succeed together.

The school is undergoing a larger renovation and reconstruction, which gives us even better possibilities for teaching and after-school life. The department you join will be finished when you start. You will therefore have your everyday life in new settings designed for the children and the activities you will create together.

Cross-collaboration is a natural part of daily life. We help each other, share knowledge and take joint responsibility, because we believe that children thrive and learn best when the adults around them work together. We have high ambitions, but also value humor, good relationships and a positive atmosphere. Job satisfaction is a shared responsibility, and we prioritize a good working environment.

You will become part of a self-managing team and a professional learning community, where you have real influence on planning and development of the pedagogical practice. Here there is room to bring your ideas into play, learn from your colleagues and together find good solutions for the children.

The social community also matters a lot to us. The staff association arranges activities that give us opportunities to meet across and get to know each other better – also outside working hours.
