Pedagogical Practice Consultant

Would you like to help support day care and schools in Horsens Municipality in the work of creating participation opportunities for all children? Are you motivated to bring your professional expertise into play together with pedagogues and teachers where it makes the biggest difference – in the classroom and in the play environment? Then we have an exciting opportunity for you.

In Horsens Municipality we have a clear political ambition that more students should have better participation opportunities in mainstream settings through practice-oriented support of the municipality's schools and day care centers. In this context, we are seeking two pedagogical practice consultants for the Cross-Functional Learning Unit – one position based in the day care area and the other in the school area. The two colleagues shall contribute to capacity building and preventive actions that strengthen the children's community and play and learning environment.

As an employee in the Cross-Functional Learning Unit you will be part of our overall support system, working closely with everyday pedagogical practice. We want to be accessible and practice-relevant in collaboration with the educational staff on the children’s learning, development and well-being. It requires a shared and multidisciplinary approach and not least staff who can translate knowledge into concrete action together with those who face the task in daily life.

About the job

You will become a steady collaborator for selected schools or day care centers, where you contribute with both your professional and practical experiences. Your task solving takes place close to the children and together with teachers, pedagogues, counselors and leaders, based on the resources that already exist. A substantial part of the task consists in linking data, observations and analyses with concrete pedagogical and didactic tools that make sense in the local context. You contribute with sparring, observations and co-created pedagogical initiatives, where you stand in front or beside your colleagues.

You will also become part of a community across disciplines. Together with psychologists, speech therapists, pediatric physiotherapists and consultants you work to qualify and carry out practice-relevant interventions. You must be able to act independently, but also have a coordinating eye when you take on tasks with your interdisciplinary colleagues.

About you

We see that you are a skilled practitioner who has gained experience in building and developing pedagogical capacity – perhaps through a role as supervisor, consultant or other. You have the ability to create relationships, direction and process in collaboration with staff and management. You can handle different interests and know yourself well enough to know how you react in interaction with others – even when the task or relationships challenge.

You are flexible, can switch positions in the collaboration and have the courage to be the adaptive disruption when the task calls for it. Finally, you want to influence our shared workplace and participate in development in a politically led organization.

The position in the school area

We expect that you are trained as a teacher with broad pedagogical/didactic experience from the school area, preferably supplemented with a relevant academic postgraduate degree.

The position in the day care area

We expect that you have a basic pedagogical education, preferably supplemented with relevant continuing education. Alternatively, you have a relevant academic degree, supplemented with pedagogical experience and insight into the day care area.
