In Dragør Municipality we are seeking an engaged student assistant who is pursuing the master's degree in audiology or logopaedics and who wants to become part of our PPR.

You will be attached to our speech-language pathologist and will mainly work with schoolchildren who need support for their language development and communication. We are particularly interested in you who have knowledge of or wish to delve into DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) and the language difficulties that can affect children's learning, participation and well-being at school.

You will be part of an interdisciplinary team with psychologists, speech-language pathologist, physiotherapist, inclusion consultants and support pedagogues. We work closely with the schools to create participation opportunities for all children through practice-oriented and preventive interventions.

The position is 12-15 hours per week with start on 1 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter. Working hours will be organized as flexibly as possible considering your studies.

Your tasks

You will be part of the speech-language pathology work in PPR and will among other things work with:

• Planning and implementation of language training and teaching programs for schoolchildren.

• Would like to work hands-on with children and translate professional knowledge into concrete actions.
• Work independently, take responsibility and be good at building relationships with children.
