Konkylien has ambitions to become Østerbro's best daycare center, and therefore we need two proactive pedagogues for our lovely institution

You may have experience, but you are also very welcome to be a recent graduate. Our hope is that you can start on January 1, 2027. We are, however, happy to wait for you if you are the right candidate!

You will be employed for the whole house, so the position can be for our baby unit and our preschool unit. Please indicate in the application if you have a particular preference for one or the other. We expect that you have knowledge of the New Strengthened Curriculum – and if you also have knowledge of Copenhagen Municipality's guidelines, that is an advantage, but not a requirement.

Konkylien is an integrated day-care institution with a high professional level and a strong sense of community. We are an institution that exudes children and staff who love being at Konkylien. Konkylien has space for about 80 children distributed across two baby groups and three preschool rooms. In addition, Konkylien is Copenhagen’s baseline provision for children with hearing difficulties. That means that we have baseline places for children with full or partial hearing loss – these baseline places are distributed across our rooms in both departments.

We offer

• good colleagues and good opportunities for professional development
• great physical settings with emphasis on the pedagogical learning environment
• lovely playgrounds with good opportunities for expression
• a good and cheerful working environment
• a professionally skilled staff group
• the possibility for great influence both in the cluster and in the unit
• focus on the systematic work with the New Strengthened Curriculum
• focus on developing biodiversity, nature, outdoor life and science as a pedagogical focus in everyday life

We value

• an appreciative approach to children, parents and colleagues
• professional reflections and relational skills, and we see ourselves as resource detectives rather than fault-finders
• motor and language development
• a developing and safe child-friendly environment
• the parent partnership
• an environment where everything starts and ends with a child

We would like a colleague who

• works from the idea that we are one whole house, where flexibility is an important part of daily life
• works in a structured and methodical manner
• is able to reflect on own and collective practice
• sees the individual child and tailors pedagogy and effort accordingly
• becomes an active team player in the work community
• has good written communication skills, can work with reflection and documentation, and is comfortable using PC/iPads for the purpose

About Konkylien

Konkylien lies in a sweet spot on Østerbro close to Kastellet and Østerport Station. Our entire house reflects that we love nature, outdoor life and science, and our rooms have names like The Whales, The Swordfish and The Mussels. We have very good outdoor facilities such as large playgrounds with swings, play towers and slides, which are connected to both the baby unit and the preschool.

Because we have a strong focus on outdoor life, nature and sustainability, we have extra focus on bringing it into daily life. We have our own roof playground, where we together with the children grow herbs that we talk about, tend and taste during the year. Additionally we have our own bonfire site and small caves where the children can play and hide. We have insect-friendly plants and do our part to ensure biodiversity together with the children.
