We are looking for the adult the children choose.

Pedagogue or Pedagogical Assistant for a Kindergarten Group at Vejsgårdparkens Children's Institution

Are you the adult children turn to when they need security, encouragement, or help finding their way into the community? Then you might be the one we are looking for.

At Vejsgårdparkens Children’s Institution in Vemmelev we are looking for a pedagogue or pedagogical assistant for a permanent 37-hour position. You will primarily be attached to one kindergarten group, but you will be part of the entire house's professional community.

Who are we?

Vejsgårdparkens Children's Institution is an integrated institution in Vemmelev, staffed for 18 nursery children and 56 kindergarten children.

With us you will encounter a daily life with fixed structures, present colleagues, and children who love to explore, play, and learn. The days are rarely the same, but you are never alone. We collaborate with each other, help across tasks, and share responsibility for all children in the house.

We work from the child’s perspective, and we believe that all children do their best when we adults take responsibility for creating safe, clear, and development-promoting learning environments.

We are in the midst of an exciting development process where the NEST thinking contributes to shaping our pedagogical practice. This means that we work purposefully with opportunities for participation, clear learning environments, and communities where all children feel they belong.

We work, among other things, with

• structure and predictability
• guided participation
• the adults’ roles and positions
• participation opportunities for all children

We hope you

• contribute with professional reflections and good humor
• are curious about your own practice and dare to try new approaches
• see children’s behavior as meaningful and meet it with reflection rather than frustration
• wish to develop both yourself and the practice you are part of

We also imagine that you

• are educated as a pedagogue or pedagogical assistant
• contribute with your best every day
• meet children with curiosity, respect, and high expectations
• put the child’s well-being, development, and communities at the center
• work professionally and respectfully, even when pace is fast
• are focused on quality and ongoing development of the pedagogical practice
• want to be part of a house where we help each other and lift together

What will you do?

Your primary attachment will be to one of our kindergarten groups, but you will be part of the whole house.

You will, among other things, do

• be close to the children and their everyday life
• create inspiring and safe learning environments
• support the children's communities and participation opportunities
• participate in professional sparring and reflection with colleagues
• contribute to the development of our shared pedagogical practice
• share responsibility for the institution’s core task

You will become part of a staff group that is committed to professional development, helps each other in daily life, and believes that the best solutions are created together.

With us you get

• engaged and professionally curious colleagues
• present and clear leadership
• room for sparring, reflection, and development
• a strong collaboration with parents
• an opportunity to influence our ongoing work with NEST
