Qualified pedagogues for around-the-clock shifts for a 9-year-old boy

Can you create a sense of security, preserve calm and see the child behind the behavior? Then we are looking for you for a meaningful and professionally demanding task in SocialNetværket.

We are seeking trained pedagogues for a team around a 9-year-old boy in an individually tailored solo offer. The positions have start on 10 November 2026 .

In the week leading up to the start, we will hold an information meeting about the start of the offer, where you will be introduced to the task, the pedagogical approach and the framework for the collaboration.

About the task

You will be a part of a team around a boy with extensive needs for pedagogical support, care and a safe, predictable everyday life.

The boy has significant communicative difficulties and limited speech. It requires that you are attentive to his nonverbal signals and curious to understand the needs behind his actions. You must be able to adapt your communication and support him in expressing wishes and needs.

He has difficulty regulating emotions and reactions and can be overwhelmed when he experiences frustration or does not feel understood. This can express itself through loud and physically outwardly reactive reactions. The task requires that you can remain calm, prevent conflicts and adapt demands and expectations to his current capacity.

There is a need for close adult support and attention to safety, as he may wander away from the safe settings without understanding possible dangers.

Your task will be to create a daily life with recognizable routines, manageable activities and stable relationships. You must be able to work patiently with small progress and, together with the team, find the approaches that support his well-being, communication and development.

Our pedagogical approach

At SocialNetværket we work from the understanding that children do the best they can . We meet the child with respect, care and curiosity and take responsibility for adapting the framework to the child’s needs.

We emphasize a shared pedagogical approach where structure, predictability and conflict de-escalation are central elements. It requires that you adhere to the agreed framework and actively contribute to professional reflection and collaboration.
