Exciting positions as teacher or educator in the special education field

"I want to be such that everyone thinks, it is nice to be here." If the sentence resonates in your professional heart, and you can translate it into a learning-rich everyday life for sweet students, then you are the one we need at the Høllevang department in Toftlund School District.

At Toftlund District School, Høllevang department, we have three positions available

• two maternity replacements in the primary grades, both starting January 2027
• one teaching position in the middle grades starting November 1, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.

At Høllevang in Toftlund we are looking for a pedagogue, pedagogical assistants and a teacher, who primarily are well founded in themselves, patient and stable. You are a person who can set a clear structure/framework, and who thrives in the cross-field between special educational expertise and the organization’s and/or own capabilities.

Høllevang School is a special school in Toftlund School District. Here there are also students from 0th to 9th grade. The two schools together with Agerskov School form the northern school district in Toonder Municipality.

The stage is set

You step into an exciting role in our middle grades or in the primary grades. The teaching position is placed in the middle grades, and both maternity replacements are in the primary grades.

At Høllevang we have students with special needs in mixed and smaller communities. There are different considerations and needs to accommodate, so it requires that you can handle both assisting in, e.g., mathematics, and getting a student out from the break-time hideout. You know yourself and your own reactions and boundaries, and you stand firmly rooted in your professional expertise.

You are rarely alone with the students here, as we work closely in teams. We work in fixed teams in our district and are a group of ambitious colleagues who believe that the best pedagogy and didactics arise when we reflect both individually and together on our behavior. We lift as a group, so it is a necessary competence that you are positive about and see opportunities in collaboration between different professional groups. You preferably have experience with working in Professional Learning Communities.

Your toolbox includes

• special education knowledge – you have knowledge/experience in meeting students with challenges. Low arousal experience is an advantage
• robustness – you show care and stand firm when the waves are high, and you are not afraid to set professionally caring but clear boundaries and structure. In this work you can separate private life and work life
• relationship strength – it comes naturally to you to create the good relation, whether at adult or child level, and you can professionally both say "the difficult" and receive it
• collaboration at eye level – you master working both independently and in teams, and you are also comfortable in collaboration with parents, who can be vulnerable.
• professionalism – you are professionally proud of your field and preferably have a varied toolbox within special education.

We offer you

• a group of sweet students
• a full-time job where you can make a difference that can be felt
• a collegial community that values both professionalism and a good laugh
• salary according to collective agreement and your qualifications
• start in January for the maternity replacements and for the teaching position on November 1, 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter
