Educator for Solgården – a unique opportunity

Qualified pedagogue with experience with horses sought for Solgården

We are seeking a qualified pedagogue who has experience with horses and a desire to actively use the horses in the pedagogical work.

Do you have strong relational skills, a calm nervous system, and are you passionate about making a difference for children and young people? Do you also have experience with horses and a willingness to take responsibility for our horse herd?

Then you might be the person we are looking for at the After School and Junior Club Solgården in Randers.

About Solgården

We are a self-governing youth club for children and young people aged 7-18. We are normed for about 50 children and young people, including a special group of about 15 who need extra support.

We work from a basis of relationships, wellbeing and development and create safe and inclusive communities where children and young people are seen, heard and valued.

Our main goal is to leave positive traces in the lives of children and young people.

Horses are an important part of our pedagogy

Solgården is located on a farm with large outdoor areas, and the horses are a central part of our daily life and pedagogical offerings.

We therefore seek a pedagogue who has practical experience with horses and who can see opportunities in using work with horses to create relationships, community, responsibility, mastery and development among the children and young people.

You should be keen to both participate in the daily care of the horses and to develop activities around them together with the children.

At Solgården we also have opportunities for, among other things, Trial, go'cart, ATV, BMX, workshops and a swimming pool. We believe that good relationships often arise when we do things together.

We are looking for you who

• is a qualified pedagogue
• has experience with horses and horsekeeping
• can combine your pedagogical expertise with your interest and experience with horses
• is strong in relational work and present in meetings with children and young people
• has a calm nervous system and can maintain overview in challenging situations
• is mentally robust, flexible and adaptable
• sees opportunities rather than problems
• has humor and dares to try something new
• can create activities based on the interests of the children and young people
• can work independently while also engaging in a close collegial collaboration
• wants professional reflection and development

With us you get

An workplace that is different, present and inclusive, with great freedom and the opportunity to put your own competencies into play.

You will become part of a group of engaged and easygoing colleagues who value an open, creative and humorous working environment.

Opening hours

Your working hours are expected to lie between 9:00 and 17:00 with one weekly day until 19:00. Every 6th weekend you have a feeding duty at the farm – once on Saturday and once on Sunday.

Can you see yourself at Solgården?

If you are a qualified pedagogue, have experience with horses and can see the possibilities in using the horses as part of the pedagogical work, we would very much like to hear from you.

We would very much like to invite you to Solgården for a tour before you apply.

We think it is important that you have the opportunity to experience the place, meet us and see the horses and the many possibilities we have – Solgården must be experienced and not just described.
