Nursery Teacher for Arnen

Our colleague bids farewell after many years in the field and now we are seeking a new colleague!

In the middle of the city – with a view of the Hjejlen, the train and the forest – and right next to the active downtown environment lies Arnen. Here an engaged staff group is seeking a new colleague.

With the house's location in the middle of city life, it is completely natural for us at Arnen to use the urban space with all the facilities and opportunities it offers.

The house accommodates 32 children and 9 adults and the house oozes personality, history and pedagogy.

In its almost 100 years, Arnen has always functioned as a nursery for young children and later as a daycare, so it is a piece of local history you become part of in the house.

The values at the heart of Arnen are structure, calm and good dialogue, between adults and children – and between adults.

Arnen is one of the general departments in the Århusbakken, Midtbyen and Specialområdet (ÅMS) cluster, which means that we host both general and special departments in our houses. The inclusion mindset is thus a completely natural part of the cluster's toolbox.

We are looking for an educator who

• Will help develop our pedagogical direction
• Has an eye for creating small child communities within larger groups
• Sees the value in being on the floor with the children and has an eye for all the development that lies in the everyday interaction between children and adults
• Is motivated by coming in every day to a group of children who give an endless amount of love – and in return expect your contact and your presence
• Is good at creating and maintaining structure in a daily life that also should contain many opportunities to break out of this very structure
• Can keep a cool head and take good initiatives in a busy daily life. Be exploratory about what the children are calling for – and creative in finding ways to provide this
• Is willing to 'try things out' to create the most meaningful everyday life for all of us – a daily life that can look different from time to time

We offer

• a daily life characterized by warmth and good spirits – and where we spend a lot of time at child height
• professional and reflective colleagues with curiosity about their own practice.
• a house in constant development
• an engaged parent group that actively participates in the house's workings
• a house with many opportunities for both expression and immersion
• a staff group that emphasizes small child communities that provide calm and presence
• a work culture where we focus on the individual child and the group's development and well-being in inclusive communities
• a staff culture where we take care of each other, and where we continually work to ensure a good working environment
• a house with plenty of room for fun and humor
