Pedagogical assistants sought for the Group Program at Engholmskolen

Would you like to help create a safe, developing and meaningful everyday life for some wonderful children? And can you stay calm and clear when everyday life requires a little extra? Then maybe you are the one we are looking for. Engholmskolen in Allerød Municipality is looking for engaged teaching assistants for our group arrangement.

The positions are 37 hours per week - with temporary employment from 1 December or as soon as possible thereafter. Working hours are during both school hours and our sheltered SFO offering.

About the Group Arrangement

The Group Arrangement currently has 50 children/young people across primary, intermediate and upper secondary levels.

The target group is normally gifted children with challenges in social interaction, contact, communication and imagination. The offering has an autism-friendly approach and staff have extensive knowledge of comorbidity, mentalization-based pedagogy, TEACCH and low arousal.

The children need clear, present and stable adults who can create structure, calm and good opportunities for participation - throughout the day.

You will become part of an engaged team consisting of skilled teachers, pedagogues and teaching assistants. Our shared driving force is high professionalism and a continuous focus on the children's well-being, learning and development. At the same time we look forward to the inspiration and perspectives that new colleagues bring with them.
