Trained pedagogue with experience with horses sought for Solgården

We are seeking a trained pedagogue who has experience with horses and a desire to actively use 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 desire to take responsibility for our horse herd?

Then you might be the one we are looking for at the Leisure and Junior Club Solgården in Randers.

About Solgården

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

We work with a focus on relationships, well-being and development and create safe and inclusive communities where children and youths are seen, heard and valued.

Our most important goal is to create positive traces in the lives of the children and youths.

The 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 the possibilities in using work with horses to create relationships, community, responsibility, mastery and development among the children and youths.

You should be willing to participate in the daily care of the horses as well as 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 trained pedagogue
• has experience with horses and horsekeeping
• can combine your pedagogical professionalism with your interest and experience with horses
• is strong in relationship work and present in interactions with children and youths
• has a calm nervous system and can maintain an 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 youths
• can work independently and at the same time engage in a committed close collegial collaboration
• wants professional reflection and development

With us you get

A workplace that is different, intimate and inclusive, with great freedom and the opportunity to apply your own competences.

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

Opening hours

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

Can you see yourself at Solgården?

If you are a trained pedagogue, have experience with horses and can see the possibilities of 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 get 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.
