Will you help ensure well-being and strengthen the good study environment for our students in the teacher education program in Aarhus and Grenaa?

In the teacher education program we train teachers who support well-being and development for children, young people and adults in vulnerable situations. We are a large and diverse staff group consisting of teachers, student counselors, workshop assistants, managers, administrative staff, and more. You will thus become part of a diverse working environment, where our different competencies contribute to solving our common educational task.

We are seeking a person with guidance competencies and knowledge of education, who has a special ability to balance in meeting the students and understanding the organizational framework and possibilities. In addition, you must be focused on creating well-being and participation opportunities for students through qualified study and admission guidance, SPS coordination and conversations, and diverse communities.

The educational landscape is changing, which will affect the teacher education program’s admissions, student body, and target group, and will be important for the future study guidance and SPS work. The tasks may therefore vary depending on the program’s needs and the applicant’s competences as well as reform development.
