Middle Manager with Assistant Manager Function

Would you like to help create structure, coherence and quality in everyday life for children and staff – and at the same time be close to the pedagogical practice?

Holmeagerskolen is looking for an engaged and structured middle manager for the after-school program (SFO) with start on December 1, 2026.

The position is a combination of pedagogical practice and middle management. 3/5 of your working time you will perform pedagogical tasks, while 2/5 of the time is allocated to the middle management function.

In the pedagogical part of the position you will be affiliated with the school as a class teacher and participate in the daily pedagogical work in the SFO. You will thus have close contact with the children and the pedagogical practice, while you also take on special responsibility for coordination and operations.

Your tasks as middle manager

As a middle manager you will have a central role in coordinating the SFO’s daily operations and will become an important link between the primary school principal and the staff group. You will participate daily in SUM and prepare the SUM note, just as you help ensure that information, decisions and agreements are communicated and followed up.

You will work closely with the primary school principal on, among other things, meeting and holiday plans, substitute coverage, staff meetings and the ongoing planning of the SFO’s daily routines. You will also contribute to weekly plans, information to the parents and the SFO’s annual wheel.

You represent the SFO at department meetings at the school and are represented in the municipal network for transitions. Additionally, you will play a central role in coordinating and implementing the preschool period (the new school starters) and the responsibility for the SFO’s parent council.

As part of the role you will have more clearly defined decision-making powers within agreed areas. You will regularly meet with the primary school principal to ensure close dialogue about daily operations, the staff group and the development of the SFO.

We are looking for someone who

Has a pedagogical background, is educated as a pedagogue and has experience working with children. It is an advantage if you have experience with coordination, planning or other roles with special responsibility, but it is not a requirement.

The most important thing is that you want to combine pedagogical work with coordination and responsibility .

We emphasize that you

• are structured and good at creating an overview – even when everyday life changes.
• have strong collaboration skills and can build good relationships with children, parents, staff and leadership.
• communicate clearly, respectfully and appreciatively.
• can take responsibility and make decisions within the frameworks and mandate that have been agreed.
• are good at following up and ensuring that agreements and tasks are carried out.
• can work independently while also contributing constructively in close cooperation with the primary school principal.
• have a view of both daily operations, staff well-being and pedagogical quality.
• are present and engaged in the work with the children.
• are eager to actively contribute to the development of both the school and the SFO.

A role with clear boundaries and close collaboration

As a middle manager you will be a close collaboration partner for the primary school principal. We place emphasis on the collaboration being characterized by trust, clarity, dialogue and shared responsibility.

It is also important to us that the role of middle manager is clear. You are not the leader of your colleagues in the traditional sense, but you will have a special responsibility for coordination, communication and daily operations.

Your decision-making authority will be clearly defined, so both you and the staff group know what is expected and where the responsibility lies.

We offer

• Opportunity to be close to the children and gain experience with coordination and leadership support.
• A central function in Holmeager School’s SFO.
• A close and binding collaboration with the primary school principal.
• Opportunity to shape and further develop the middle management role.
• A varied daily life with both pedagogical, coordinating and administrative tasks.
• Opportunity to influence the SFO’s practice and the collaboration around the children.
• An workplace where collaboration, clarity and professionalism are highly valued.
