Faaborg-Midtfyn Municipality is seeking a psychologist for Educational Psychological Counseling

Do you want to use your psychology expertise to create greater participation opportunities for children and young people?

In Faaborg-Midtfyn Municipality we work proactively to develop strong, community-building learning environments where more children can thrive, develop, and remain part of their local daycare or school. Therefore we are seeking an authorized psychologist for PPR, who can contribute with high psychological quality in assessment work and translate their knowledge into concrete solutions close to the children’s everyday lives.

With us you will become part of a strong cross-disciplinary community, where psychological expertise is actively used in the development of both general and special education areas.

We are looking for a psychologist with high professional standards and good collaboration skills to handle PPR tasks.

This is a permanent position from 01.01.27 at 37 hours per week.

About the position

In Faaborg-Midtfyn Municipality the overarching strategic focus area for the school and day-care sector is “Community-building learning environments”. The goal is to increase participation capacity in our day-care facilities and our public schools, so that even more children and youth thrive and develop in their local day-care or school environment.

As a psychologist in PPR you will be part of a dedicated and cross-disciplinary strong PPR team, where everyone co-creates in a dynamic development process with the aim of achieving good results in collaboration with the children, their families as well as day-care and schools.

In FMK our pedagogical psychological consultants, pedagogical inclusion consultants and speech/hearing consultants are permanently attached to schools and day-care facilities, where they handle the consultative task of developing community-building learning environments. As a psychologist you will be connected to the team when there are children and youths who, despite good consultative initiatives, still experience difficulties in the learning environment.

Your focus will be to explore the child’s perspectives at both the individual and actor level and collaborate with the rest of the PPR team to create micro-actions in practice that will increase the child’s participation opportunities in the learning environment.

In addition you will be the coordinator for some of our special education offers at children and youth homes, where you will be responsible for PPR tasks. The majority of students in these offers are placed in a children and youth home and have a special education need related to placement in the form of a significant functional limitation - either socially and emotionally, cognitively or in the form of a diagnosis. In addition to the PPR task you will here have to participate in network meetings with social workers.

Your tasks will consist of

• Drafting pedagogical psychological assessments
• Consultation/supervision of pedagogical staff
• Participation in status and follow-up meetings at children and youth homes
• Participation in internal treatment conferences, where you provide psychological expertise to other professional groups in PPR
• Professional development work

You thrive in both delving into clinical assessment work and facilitating sparring/supervision processes with pedagogical staff in day-care and schools.
