Pedagogical unit leader who thrives on having many balls in the air, and who is passionate about creating an overview and structure

Would you like to help create the framework for the good childhood, and are you motivated by a daily life where you ensure that there is structure and clarity for the staff?

As you walk around our house, you will experience an engaged group of employees, a good atmosphere and colleagues who take responsibility and initiative. As the head of the pedagogical unit, you will join a close leadership team with the institution's leader, where you together set the direction for the house.

We are looking for a professionally strong colleague with a high level of ambition for a leadership position starting January 4, 2027 (or preferably earlier).

Who are we?

We are a unique institution with currently 30 staff who every day collaborate to give our children a meaningful early life. Our group of children is aged 0-7 years and we have children with different cognitive, physical and social challenges – including diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida and rare genetic disorders.

Our great strength is that we have brought together the pedagogical, occupational therapy and physiotherapy interventions under one roof. This gives us the absolute best conditions for close inter-professional collaboration and a holistic treatment process, where the overall goal is to make each child as self-reliant as possible.

Your primary tasks and role

There is full speed in the house with plenty of activities, development and concrete professional trial actions. Therefore, we need a pedagogical unit leader who can maintain the overview and adhere to the administrative framework. Your primary tasks will be to ensure daily operations, including:

· Planning and structure: Responsible for a good duty roster, meeting structure and coordination of the house's events.

· Administrative operational tasks: Handling vacation planning, substitutes, payroll and coding of invoices.

· Coordination and documentation: Management and professional sparring on status reports, travel arrangements and onboarding of employees.

· Parent collaboration: Meetings and dialogue with parents in collaboration with the pedagogues

Our expectations of you

We are looking for a profile who thrives with having many balls in the air, and who is passionate about creating structure in a dynamic everyday life. We imagine that:

· You have experience from the special/early-education sector and want to bring this knowledge into play in an administrative office function.

· You have a good command of the administrative processes around staff, holidays and operations.

· You are structured, process-oriented and ensure that quality is always top, so that the staff have the best conditions to thrive.

Why should you choose us?

You will have a central role at a very special workplace where your work makes a direct difference for vulnerable children and their families. You will become part of a dedicated and multidisciplinary staff, where there is room to grow, a strong professional pride and a solid collegial community.

If you have questions about the position, you are welcome to contact the manager Andreas Borg at tel.: 39 20 87 40 / 40 53 07 12 or via email [email protected]

We look forward to hearing from you!
