Pedagogue with a flair for the highly specialized area sought for Sydbo

Do you want to help make a difference where it matters most?

At Sydbo we are looking for a pedagogue who is passionate about creating quality of life, safety and development for residents with extensive support and care needs. With us you will have the opportunity to use your pedagogical expertise up close to the person.

About us

Sydbo is a housing and activity offer, located in Stenstrup, Svendborg Municipality. The housing and activity offer is on the same site.

Here live 24 adults aged 22-86, all with permanently reduced physical and mental functional ability, under the Social Services Act §§104, 107 and 108. We work with a fixed structure with predictability and recognisability, where the framework is determined by the individual resident's development level. Common to all residents is that they have a large need for specialized professionalism and approach.

We work systematically based on the resident's intervention goals so that subgoals, development and rehabilitation go hand in hand.

In 2025 we began a larger professional upskilling, where everyone is educated to use LA2U in practice, which will also become Sydbo's joint professional stance.

You will become part of the team and be attached to a resident where you take on a mentoring role. Work hours are between 06:30 and 23:00, and every other weekend.

We can offer

• A fantastic resident group with individual needs, resources and challenges.

• An workplace where there is opportunity for influence and shared responsibility, as well as room to further develop one's professional competences.
• Cooperation based on the principles of “Ræk mig lige samarbejdet”
• Team meetings and professional sparring every other week.
• Supervision
