Teacher for special education

Are you eager to work with vulnerable children and youth at a municipal special school for students with socio-emotional difficulties? Do you want to be part of our development of pedagogical and didactic practices, with a focus on neuroaffective development psychology and project-based teaching?

About the job

As a teacher at Bifrost School you will be an important player in our efforts to provide students with an active and meaningful everyday life within recognizable settings.

You will become part of a multidisciplinary team that together tackles the teaching and treatment tasks for the school’s students. The collaboration is characterized by respect for each other’s professional competencies and an agreement that tasks and conditions differ, but everyone is equal and mutually dependent. Your primary task will be to maintain and develop the high professional level in teaching, with respect for the pedagogical direction and the daily in collaboration with your team.

As a starting point you will be attached to the early years/lower and middle school. But since student composition can vary from year to year, there may eventually be an opportunity to take on tasks in the upper grades.

At Bifrost School we work on developing a practice around project-based teaching and professional learning communities. This means that you should be willing to take responsibility for all students’ learning and development by working with the entire school’s organization and resources. We are a school where there is little distance from words to action, therefore, as an employee you will have influence on the school’s development, and at the same time it means that there will be changes during the school year.

We are still learning, and we are in an exciting process where we are both developing the organization, teaching and pedagogy.

Bifrost School also has the task of supporting the local public schools with the pedagogical task force. The tasks in the task force can vary greatly, but it is important to support local inclusion.

Who are you

• You are a qualified teacher
• You are an exemplary, highly skilled practitioner
• You understand your role as part of a unified school
• You are used to working with goals, progression, learning, development and demanding parent collaboration
• You are familiar with low arousal, neuroaffective development psychology, Theraplay and autism educational strategies – or you are eager to develop your practice in these areas
• You can bring your entire professional expertise into play in a multidisciplinary collaboration

Who are we

We are a small school. We are about 40-45 students and 20 staff.

We are one of Ringsted Municipality’s special education offerings. The target group is children and young people in vulnerable and at-risk positions who currently cannot be included at their own school, and who therefore come to us for a shorter or longer period. Some of the students have behavioral and social challenges, and their experience with the public school is characterized by the feeling of not measuring up.

We actively work to have the students return to the general sector, because we know it gives them the best future opportunities. We do this by gently and insistently pushing students, parents and the public school in the right direction.

We set high standards because we have high expectations for our students, ourselves and our partners. Every day we try to do what needs to be done, not just what is required.

If you would like to shape your future job at a school where changes are part of everyday life, and recognizability for the students is a requirement, we hope to hear from you.

We expect to hold recruitment interviews on 25 and 26 November 2026.

Child and/or criminal record certificates may be obtained in connection with the appointment.

It is part of Ringsted Municipality’s recruitment policy to promote gender balance and ethnic equality. We encourage both people of Danish and other ethnic backgrounds to apply for the advertised position.
