Teacher for the early primary grades – Danish, Visual Arts, English and History

Children and Youth

We are seeking a teacher who is passionate about teaching primary school children (grades 1–5) and helping to create a safe, curious, and academically ambitious school day for children with different backgrounds.

We believe that the school is primarily a place where children should learn. Therefore, our core task is to create good teaching, strong academic communities, and clear frameworks that give students the opportunity to develop themselves – academically, socially and personally.

The position is, in principle, full-time and includes

• Danish
• Danish in smaller groups on the year level
• Visual arts
• English
• History
• Homeroom teacher role

If you can teach mathematics and/or music, that would be an additional bonus.

Who we hope you are

We are looking for a capable teacher in practice. Someone who

• Wants to teach in the primary years and create good, clear learning environments.
• Has strong professional and didactic competencies – especially in Danish.
• Can create varied teaching with clear frameworks and high, realistic expectations for the students.
• Can stand firm and be persistent, even when something is difficult.
• Sees the relationship with the students as an important part of teaching – but knows that a good relationship is not an end in itself. It should support the students' learning and development.
• Has an awareness that children are different, without implying that everyone should be met in exactly the same way.

A school that takes the task seriously

At NBS we work with children who have different life circumstances and prerequisites. This places demands on us as professionals.

We believe that children, in principle, want to succeed and be part of the community. Our task is to create the framework, teaching, and communities where they have the opportunity to do so.

This also means that we cannot offer the same to everyone or solve all challenges around a child. The school can and should do a lot – but the school cannot do everything. We prioritize the core task and work so that students experience both support, clarity, and appropriate demands.

In the primary years it requires adults who can create structure, recognizability and security, while at the same time the teaching is lively, academically ambitious and tailored to the student group you are working with.

We work with PALS, where responsibility, care and respect are things we practice in daily life – also with the youngest.

Close follow-up and honest expectation alignment

We know that the right match is essential – for you, the students and the school. Therefore you will be closely supported in the start.

You will receive

• A mentor who knows the school’s daily life and student group.
• Ongoing sparring and dialogue with your immediate supervisor.
• Clear expectations and honest feedback so we can ensure together that the task and the framework are right.

Professionalism with us

We expect you to

• Plan and carry out teaching with a view to subject progression and students’ participation opportunities.
• Be able to create clear classroom management with calm, structure and predictability.
• Have high, but realistic expectations of the students and stand firm even when learning requires perseverance.
• Work actively with students’ participation in teaching and the community.
• View creative, practical and movement-based learning as part of varied teaching.
• Work closely with colleagues on teaching and students’ schooling.
• See parents as important collaborators and communicate clearly and professionally.
• Attend regularly and punctually – because relationships, teaching and security are built daily.
