Psychologists and Educational-Psychological Advisors for Multidisciplinary Support

Would you like to help create diverse children’s communities?

In the Child and Youth Administration we work with diverse children's communities as a shared professional ambition. We want more children and young people to have the opportunity to thrive, develop and participate in the communities where they live their everyday lives.

This involves a shift from primarily explaining challenges as something in the individual child to also being curious about the interaction between the child, the community, and the pedagogical learning environments the child participates in.

For our new colleague, a central task will be to translate this movement into reality in close collaboration with schools and day-care facilities. You must be able to work independently in the role, but you are not alone. Around you you have a strong pedagogical-psychological environment and multidisciplinary colleagues with whom you can share ideas and develop solutions together.

About the job

The majority of your work takes place in schools and day care centers in Valby, Vesterbro and Kgs. Enghave.

A large part of the work consists of programs where you, together with practice, become wiser about children, communities and learning environments and develop effective next steps. The programs are planned based on the concrete situation and can take different forms. Observations in practice will often be an important source of understanding, but we are also focused on developing our ways of working and trying new approaches together with practice.

The work also includes pedagogical-psychological assessments, supervision and conversations with children, young people and parents. Depending on your background and the specific task distribution, you may also have assignments at special schools, in Mind My Mind and Cool Kids or in Indgangen for better mental health.

You must be able to move between the individual child’s perspective and the development of the community around the child. We are focused on how children and young people participate, what opportunities and barriers they encounter, and how we together with practice can broaden their opportunities to participate where they already live their everyday lives.

We are looking for you who are curious about practice

You should want to step into many different contexts and be curious about what is already at stake before you point to solutions. The schools and day-care facilities you meet are different places in the movement toward more diverse children’s communities. You must be able to meet each practice where it is and at the same time contribute to making something new possible.

It requires that you can build trust and have an eye for how you yourself act in collaboration. You can listen and be curious, but also make your professional expertise clear, challenge familiar understandings and take the initiative for the next step.

The most important is that you

• have a desire to work closely with the children and the professionals around them
• can work independently in complex tasks while actively using colleagues and management
• can create good collaborative relationships across professional disciplines
• meet other perspectives with curiosity and professional openness
• take responsibility, follow up and have the courage to think innovatively together with others

You are for example educated as cand.psych., cand.pæd.psych. or cand.pæd. in educational psychology. You may be an experienced or newly graduated psychologist. If you have a pedagogical-psychological master's degree, we also value that you have relevant practical experience with children, young people or the professionals around them.

The crucial thing is that the working method makes sense to you, and that you want to develop it together with us.

You will become part of a strong professional and collegial community

Interdisciplinary Support supports schools and day-care centers in the work with children and young people from 0 to 18 years. Here you will work among others with psychologists, pedagogical-psychological advisers, speech and hearing consultants, support and competence educators, health visitors and consultants.

You will have both a close cross-disciplinary collaboration around schools and day-care centers and access to a larger pedagogical-psychological community. Here you will meet great openness and helpfulness, and there is room to ask questions, share professional doubts and reach out for sparring.

We offer a structured mentorship during your first three months, ongoing professional sparring, supervision and joint professional development. If you are a trained psychologist, we also offer the possibility to participate in the practice education for psychologists when the conditions are met.
