Educator at Grønnebakken in Hadsten

Do you thrive in rubber boots, with the wind in your hair and children inviting you to join in the play?

And are you passionate about nature, outdoor life, senses and movement? Then you could be the person we are looking for at Børnehuset Grønnebakken in Hadsten.

We are seeking pedagogical staff for both our kindergarten and our nursery.

With us, nature is much more than a playground – it is a learning space, a community and a natural part of everyday life. We are looking for engaged pedagogues or pedagogical staff who want to help create a daily life where children develop through play, curiosity, experiences and presence.

With us a good day is one where we come home with red cheeks, mud on our boots, we have used our bodies and we have a backpack full of experiences.

We believe that children learn best when they are allowed to use their bodies, feel the world with all their senses and explore nature in all kinds of weather.

We are looking for new colleagues who want to be part of a house where community, professionalism and outdoor life go hand in hand. With us you will, among other things, get to:

Explore nature together with the children – year-round.

Gather around the fire, explore tiny creatures and create small adventures in the forest.

Create learning environments where play, senses, movement and curiosity are the driving forces.

Be a meaningful adult who sees each child and helps to create secure relationships.

Join an engaged team where we help each other, share ideas and develop our pedagogical practice together.

Help create an environment where children and adults experience the joy of being part of nature, develop courage, independence and respect for each other and the world we are part of. We expect that you:

• Are educated as a pedagogue (or have a relevant pedagogical background).
• Have a positive view of children and meet children with acknowledgment, presence and respect.
• Are curious about nature and see possibilities rather than limitations.
• Thrive both outdoors and indoors – even when the weather isn’t at its best.
• Want to play, wonder and be curious together with the children.
• Want to create learning environments with a focus on outdoor life, senses and movement.
• Are proactive, engaged and thrive with both planned activities and spontaneous experiences.
• Can collaborate closely with colleagues and parents to create the best framework for the children’s well-being, development and learning.
• Want to contribute to a professional community where we inspire and develop each other. Where we all contribute with good humor, engagement and a strong team spirit.

• A house with high ceilings, both outside and inside.
• A daily life characterized by nature, play, movement and community.
• Skilled and engaged colleagues who help and lift each other up.
• Opportunity to put your competencies and ideas into practice.
