Pedagogical staff for the special education intervention team at Ladegårdsskolen

Are you passionate about making a crucial difference for children with massive wellbeing and regulation difficulties?

We are seeking pedagogical staff for a highly specialized function in our special educational intervention team – a unique and meaningful role where you step in when everyday life is most challenging.

The position is anchored in the Children's Special Center's Knowledge House and involves close collaboration with the fixed pedagogical staff, contact supervisors, department head, pedagogical supervisor, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech and hearing consultants.

About the position

As a staff member in the special educational intervention team, your primary purpose is to create safety, stability and pedagogical quality around children and young people in the most complex cases. You will participate directly in interventions where children and young people may be highly frustrated, exhibit outwardly aggressive or boundary-crossing behavior, or have significant challenges in forming relationships.

You will engage in pedagogical practice as a professional and relational resource that supports, stabilizes and strengthens the efforts around both the child and the team in daily life with shifts between 7:00 and 16:00.

Your main tasks will be to

• Directly engage in practice around children with especially large needs – also in pressured, unpredictable and emotionally demanding situations
• Support the fixed staff in concrete situations such as conflicts, transition situations or escalating behavior
• Work aimed at relationship-building through presence, clarity, structure and continuity
• Contribute to stress reduction and withdrawal through professional calm and an affirming pedagogical approach
• Maintain structure, predictability and recognizable frameworks in the student’s daily life
• Observe, analyze and communicate pedagogical observations and professional perspectives to the team and management
• Engage in professional sparring and reflection with Knowledge House’s pedagogical supervisor

Flexibility and adaptability

The intervention team is activated where the need arises. This means you must thrive in a job where no two days are alike.

You must be able to

• Switch between groups of children, teams and interventions with short notice
• Work in both short, intensive courses and longer stabilizing interventions
• Join existing teams as a professional role model with respect for the framework
• Handle unpredictability as a natural part of the task

When there are no active interventions

During periods without special interventions you will be part of the regular schedule in a school team.

Here you contribute to implementing and maintaining a common, structured and relationship-rich pedagogical approach for the entire target group.

About you

We are looking for educators or others with relevant professional background – but most importantly, your skills and approach.

We are looking for you who

• Have a fundamental understanding that all children do their best, and that it is the adults who must change the circumstances if the child cannot meet the demands
• Have strong skills in self-regulation, relationship work and professional calm in pressured situations
• Thrive in a multidisciplinary environment and see collaboration as a strength
• Are interested in working with alternative and supportive communication, e.g., picture communication
• Can contribute professionally and personally – and take responsibility for the task
• Are reflective, brave and comfortable being professionally exploratory

Our professional stance

We work from a development-supportive and relational basis with a focus on children's learning, well-being and independence. We emphasize prevention and a strong pedagogical anchoring in, among others, Low Arousal. When a child cannot meet the demands, we adjust the demands – not the child.
