Head of Department

Do you want to help relocate a kindergarten?

We are looking for a head of department who dares to lead from the front

37 hours – of which 10 hours are for management

We are looking for you who are not seeking a new pedagogical position, but who want to make a difference and help set the direction .

We are a kindergarten in development, and we are currently under heightened supervision. We will change that – together.

We need to get closer to the strengthened pedagogical curriculum, develop our learning and play environments, and become much more curious about our own practice.

We must dare to ask each other: Why do we do what we do – and is it good enough for the children?

You get an important role.

Leadership closely tied to practice

You get 10 hours of leadership time per week, but your most important leadership task also takes place in the middle of everyday life.

You must be able to play on the floor, help a child join the play, be on the playground and at the same time have an eye for the pedagogy that unfolds around you.

You must, together with the leader, help set the pedagogical agenda and lead the development.

This also means that you must dare to act when you see something that is not good pedagogy, or when our actions do not align with what we have agreed. You must be able to say it out loud – properly, respectfully and professionally.

We are looking for someone who

• is a trained pedagogue and passionate about the field
• can reflect on practice and translate the curriculum into everyday life
• dares to be clear and take professional responsibility
• can create buy-in and development with others
• wants to be a pedagogue on the floor as well as part of the leadership.

If you have previously been a coordinator or head of department, it is an advantage – but the most important thing is your enthusiasm for the task and your courage to help develop a kindergarten.

You are not coming to a kindergarten where everything is finished.

Instead, you will join a kindergarten where you have the opportunity to make a real impact on where we are headed.
