St. Clement's School is seeking an educator for school and after-school care (SFO)

We are looking for a relationship-focused, professionally grounded pedagogue for a permanent 37-hour position.

About us

Skt. Klemensskolen is a two-track school with about 470 students and 55 staff. In addition to the general section, we have three OBS classes for referred children. The school is located on the outskirts of Odense with good outdoor areas.

We are an engaged staff group with high expectations of ourselves and each other. Collaboration is an important part of our culture. We work closely in professional learning communities to create the best framework for children's learning, well-being and development – both in school and SFO. We place great emphasis on close and respectful cooperation with the parents, based on dialogue and mutual trust.

About the job

In the SFO we actively work with Odense Municipality’s “Vision for leisure pedagogy”.

We work in workshops where we base ourselves on the children’s interests and give space for movement, outdoor life and creativity as a natural part of everyday life. As a pedagogue with us you will be an active participant in this process, where we expect you to contribute with both initiative and pedagogical insight.

Our SFO is physically located in two places at the school with children from 0nd class together and children from 3rd and 4th grade together in SFO2

In the school part you join as an important part of the year group team and the cross-professional collaboration around the children. You contribute with a pedagogical view on the children’s well-being, possibilities for participation and development and work closely with the teachers to create inclusive learning environments. As a pedagogue you support both the individual student and the community, and you help to plan, implement and evaluate teaching-related activities.

We place emphasis on actively using the pedagogues’ competencies in the school day so that there is coherence between the children’s learning, well-being and development across the school and SFO.

In the 2026/27 school year Skt. Klemensskolen is a pilot school in Odense Municipality’s strategy Strong Child Communities . This means that we work purposefully to create participation opportunities for more children in the general communities and to develop learning environments where diversity is seen as a strength. As a pedagogue you will play a central role in this work through your focus on the children’s perspectives, relationships and active participation in both teaching and leisure activities.

We expect you to be curious about development work and to contribute to translating the visions of strong communities into concrete pedagogical practice.

The working hours run between 06.30 and 17.00 with the hours distributed during school time and SFO time. In addition there are a small number of evening meetings.

The position is currently linked to year 1, but moves through the years from Spring SFO to and including 3rd grade.
