PPR in Næstved is in fortunate circumstances and therefore seeks maternity-leave substitutes for four psychologist positions

PPR seeks maternity leave cover for four psychologist positions, all 37 hours per week, for exciting tasks with children, young people and their families in a strong work community.

Do you want to work with and around children, young people and their families? And can you see yourself in the development field between interdisciplinary collaboration, educational psychology and clinical psychology? Then you may be the one we are looking for to PPR in the Center for Daycare, School and Prevention.

In PPR we are 32 psychologists who work with children and young people aged 0-18, pregnant people and parents of children and youth, staff in day care, day-care centers, schools, as well as child and adolescent counselors, pedagogues and health visitors.

We are a non-hierarchical PPR, where we work based on a clear ambition to develop a daycare and a school that can do more for more – through strengthened general pedagogy and professional learning communities. This happens in co-creation with our partners in the daycare sector, in the schools and in close collaboration with The Travel Team of consultants, where PPR is out in the practice field.

The psychologists' work consists of a wide range of tasks: Educational psychological assessments (PPV), supervision of different professional groups, consultative work especially in daycare and schools, shorter and longer treatment courses, group offerings for children, child psychological assessments, parental competence assessments, psychological family therapy and crisis assignments. We are a PPR that works under the Health Act, the Public School Act and handles tasks within the child’s legal scope.
