About the position

As a pedagogical employee you will be part of the children's everyday life in both the school and the after-school program (SFO). In the school part you join the collaboration around a year group in the early years, where together with teachers and other staff you work to create good conditions for the children9;s well-being, development, participation and learning.

In the SFO you will become part of a dedicated team that works to create a safe, exciting and coherent everyday life for the children. You will help plan and implement activities, but just as important you must be able to seize the opportunities that arise in everyday life and be present in your relationship with the children.

We emphasize movement, play, creativity and active communities. Therefore it is advantageous if you have particular interests or skills that you would like to bring into play with the children.
