Educator for Ikær – Children's House in Give Are you perhaps our new educator?

“Ikær – Børnenes Hus” seeks a pedagogue who loves to play and focuses on communities – and with great influence in close collaboration with an engaged team.

Are you passionate about the pedagogical work with our lovely children? Do you want to support the continued development of quality-strong play and learning environments?

You can have influence on almost everything in the process toward creating the best daycare for our children and for parents – and a good working environment for everyone. The difference is you, and what you contribute every day in close collaboration with colleagues, parents and management.

If you want to help put YOUR mark on and become part of a well-functioning team from the very start in a relatively new daycare, do not hesitate to send us your application.

About the job

By Christmas we are about 80 children aged 0-6 years. We are 8 pedagogues and seven pedagogical assistants as well as a pedagogical leader, a department head and an institution leader. We are growing all the time and becoming a large daycare with many children and employees - therefore we need one more pedagogue.

We have the most fantastic premises both indoors and outdoors.

Our children are lovely, and the parent group supports and is engaged in the children's daily lives. They actively participate in the arrangements planned at Børnenes Hus.

It is important that you are an empathetic and present person who can guide, mentalize and have a mindset that gives the children the best framework for learning, development and formation.

You “dare to let yourself loose” and lead in the playful approach in everyday life.

You are professionally well-founded and can work with Sprogtrappen and with the themes in KIDS. We also work systematically with sensory integration, which you are welcome to have knowledge of. You will always have a mentor and support in the professional work. This year we are working with “from dirt to table” and have just got a lovely orangery for the children to romp in.

You focus on following the children's perspectives and where well-being is decisive. Your time is primarily spent in dialogue with the children and guiding them toward independence, with a focus on their participation in everyday routines and in communities.

You are passionate about and involve imagination, creativity, nature and song/music in your pedagogical approach to the children.

You may not possess all the expected competencies, but here you will get support from colleagues – so please send your application.

About us

The daycare, normed to 110-120 children, is located in Torvegade in Give and has just been renovated with lovely group rooms, inspiring play- and learning environments, and fantastic staff facilities.

As the institution is new, both physical frames, pedagogical content, overall structure, and organization and interior design will continue to be developed in close collaboration with the entire staff group.

We are “one house” and help each other across child groups, tasks and activities. This means that we all contribute to the community and are accessible to the children – where together we ensure the children's well-being every day.

The staff group consists of experienced and newer pedagogues as well as pedagogical assistants. Common to all is a high professional commitment, strong social skills and a great care for both children and colleagues. We have an informal tone and a visible job satisfaction that positively influences both the working environment and the children’s well-being.

With us you become part of a staff group with a lot of drive, which is curious, adaptable and open to new ideas. We work with humor and heart, and we are passionate about making a difference for the children in our institution.

We offer you

• A lovely and fantastic group of children and parents.
• An management that purposefully works for and supports a good working environment.
• A flexible workplace, where core service and staffing go hand in hand.
• A fantastic opportunity to develop and create something together - a footing with professional pride and job satisfaction.
