Pedagogical assistant wanted

Pedagogical assistant for the bus kindergarten “Karlsvognen”

If you dream of working under the open sky, using nature as the basis for pedagogical activities, are you driven by relational work with the children and do you see the parents as valuable partners, you may be the colleague we are missing in Kerteminde Municipality’s bus kindergarten “Karlsvognen”

In Karlsvognen you will become a colleague of two pedagogues and a pedagogical assistant. Every day we are on the road, and we are based where nature forms the learning space. As an employee in Karlsvognen, you must be prepared that we are outside every day in all kinds of weather. If you have a background as a scout or you love nature and the wilderness, this is an advantage.

Karlsvognen is part of the day care institution Mælkevejen, which was established in 2013 by merging three existing kindergartens and a newly established nursery. Mælkevejen is an integrated institution with room for over 250 children. Geographically we are 10 minutes by car from Odense, and there are very good options for public transport.

Mælkevejen is divided into

• Blue Planet which is a nursery with room for 75 children
• Red Planet with room for 70-75 children aged 3-4 years
• Green Planet with room for 70-75 children aged 3-4 years
• Yellow Planet with room for 70-75 preschool children aged 5-6 years
• Karlsvognen which is our bus kindergarten with 24-25 children aged 3–4 years

The child’s perspective is important and in focus for us. Therefore we work and engage every day to create a safe, present, positive and inspiring environment. We aim together to create quality in the pedagogical work and an institution with great professionalism. We are flexible and adjust to the task. We prioritise creating a workplace where we loyally support, cooperate, inspire each other, and lend a hand when needed.
