Two guitar teachers. Two fathers. Same parental leave period. Help!

Things are happening quite amazingly in the guitar department at Kulturskolen Hedensted. Two of our male guitar teachers are going on maternity leave at the same time. We are happy for them, but it also means that we need to cover what amounts to seven days of teaching per week for a period from January 10, 2027 and about three months ahead. The teaching includes both acoustic guitar, electric guitar, ukulele and bass. There is also the possibility to run ensemble groups and teaching in our Kulturklasser. You will become part of an engaged guitar faculty group and a strong collegial community.

Can you only teach one or two days a week? Then apply anyway. We are open to composing the substitute position between several teachers to find the best possible solution for both students and teachers.

About the job and responsibilities

With us, it’s not as important whether your musical background is classical, popular music, or a combination of both. The most important thing is that you want to share your joy of music with children, young people and adults, and that you meet the students with curiosity, engagement and professionalism.

We envision you to be broadly grounded musically, pedagogically and personally, and to thrive in creating relationships and development through teaching. Experience with teaching is an advantage, but we are just as interested in hearing what you can contribute as a teacher and colleague.

You will become part of a committed community where collaboration is a natural part of everyday life. We collaborate across Kulturskolen’s subject areas and with the municipality’s public schools, including through our Kulturklasser. Therefore we hope you want to be an active player in them.

We place emphasis on you meeting students with respect and presence, and that you want to support their musical and personal development. For us, teaching is not only about learning to play an instrument, but also about creating communities, self-confidence and joy of play.

Since the teaching takes place at several locations in the municipality, it is necessary that you have access to a car.

Our expectations of you

We hope that you

• Are passionate about teaching children, young people and adults at different levels.
• Want to participate in the collaboration around our Kulturklasser and public schools.
• Can create a safe and motivating learning environment where students experience the joy of music.
• Thrive in collaborating and contributing to the sense of community among your colleagues.
• See ensemble playing and musical communities as a natural part of teaching.

Why you should choose us

We offer

• A creative and inspiring working environment with room for professionalism, humor and good ideas.
• Engaged and helpful colleagues who look forward to welcoming you.
• A workplace where we believe in the value of art, culture and strong communities.
• Great flexibility and the possibility to find solutions that work for both you and us.
• Opportunity to put your own mark on the teaching and contribute to the development of Kulturskolen.

We are actively working to spread our Kulturklasser to even more of the municipality’s public schools in the coming years. Therefore, we hope you would like to be part of that development.
