We are seeking teachers with high professional competence as well as special education interest and/or experience.

As of December 1, we have the following full-time 37-hour positions at the Ellebæk department

Life at Ellebæk

The everyday life for students at the Ellebæk department is organized with academic content in accordance with the Folkeskoleloven (Danish Public School Act). That is, subject-differentiated lessons in combination with work on personal and social skills – life skills.

The common factor for the students is that they have difficulties within the autism spectrum and a cognitive level within the normal range. The daily life is therefore characterized by an autism-specific special education approach to the students and the communities, where curiosity and collaboration form the basis of daily practice.

We expect you to

• thrive on working with some of the most vulnerable students in Holstebro Municipality
• have a good spirit and wish to participate in and contribute to a good collegial community
• be a psychologically robust and balanced person who possesses a strong sense of collaboration
• take responsibility that the relationship succeeds – both adult-child and child-child relationships
• take responsibility that the student's day is organized so structured, predictable and manageable that the student's opportunities to participate are optimized
• through good classroom management can create development, learning and well-being
• be skilled at engaging in close cooperation with the parents
• be able to operate in an environment where the everyday life for the adult can be unpredictable and changeable
• be passionate about cross-disciplinary collaboration, both internally with the school's other subject groups including pedagogues, guidance counselors and therapists, as well as externally, where among others the Family Section, the Knowledge Center and UU are our partners.
