Pedagogical assistant or educational assistant, Børnehuset Midgård

Børnehuset Midgård søger pædagogmedhjælper eller pædagogisk assistent 18 timer ugentligt.

The position is 18 hours per week and is sought to be filled as soon as possible.

We are looking for a colleague who is passionate about ensuring security and development for the young child. We work to create trust and security for both children and parents. It would be a great advantage if you have knowledge and familiarity with early childhood development and attachment. This is not a requirement, as we are a strong professional team that will mentor a future colleague.

Everyone who works at Midgård enters the door to provide care and make a difference for the children. We want to create the best possible conditions for well-being, learning and development, and the best participation opportunities for everyone, both children and staff.

Midgård works for a good working environment where we listen to each other and challenge each other’s professionalism. Our structure requires planning, and we therefore ensure room for preparation and scheduled professional meetings. We work for a culture where all staff meet the children with the same pedagogical starting point, and that there is a “red thread” for the children during the years they are at Midgård.

We want employees who will be part of a development process, where we together shall work for a shared “WE” across the house, a vision where all children are everyone’s responsibility, and where all meet the children with curiosity, recognition and care. In Midgård we focus on everyone working with the municipality’s shared child- and learning framework, which takes as its starting point children’s perspectives, where the children are actively learning through play.

You develop by putting your competences and professionalism into play, for the benefit and advantage of the children, your colleagues and parents, so that we collectively lift each other up.

The leadership team is relatively new and focuses on psychological safety, a change where everyone is heard and can contribute input, always with the starting point in children’s well-being.

Midgård is a kindergarten house with about 90 children and about 21 adults, distributed across 4 infant groups and 4 kindergarten groups, including Bifrost, which is our group arrangement. We are located at Hjaltesvej 1-3, 2880 Bagsværd. We are close to Bagsværd Lake and other scenic areas, and we have cargo bikes in the house to move around in the local area.

You will be employed by the house, and we will determine together where your competences are best developed.

In Midgård we want to work with

• presence with children, where joy and play are in the foreground
• a good working environment with room for own learning.
• professional leadership close at hand.
• skilled and approachable colleagues and leadership
• professional sparring in a daily life characterized by job satisfaction and pedagogical quality.

So if you can see yourself as a teammate on this team, we would be very glad to hear from you.

We work within Gladsaxe Municipality’s shared professional framework, which is a set of methods for observing and documenting the children’s development and learning.

As an employee you will receive guidance, training and teaching in the methods. You can read more about the professional framework on Gladsaxe Municipality’s website
