We are looking for a teacher for a new department at Holmehus Special School.

Would you like to help build a new department?

We are seeking an engaged and skilled special education teacher for 37 hours, who enjoys developing and creating structures and frameworks for our new students.

The student group currently consists of 2 students in 1st and 3rd grade, but is expected to be expanded with more students. The students have autism and significant language challenges.

You will be part of building the team, and in the beginning it will be you and a pedagogue, with an assistant attached. If you know a pedagogue you work very well with, who is also passionate about creating a good school and well-being for children, you are welcome to apply for the positions as a team. There are always a minimum of two adults present in all lessons.

It is important that you understand and find it meaningful to work with children who are academically, emotionally and socially challenged. You meet children with relational competence with presence, curiosity and openness, and can balance structure and predictability with flexibility and adaptations. You are capable of planning and conducting practical, motivating and often alternative teaching tailored to the individual needs. You are skilled in autism education and in working with children with language difficulties.

And you have a positive and constructive approach to building a new department. There may be many bumps along the way and things that don’t work, but there is both high spirits and room to grow, and we solve the task together. Your ideas are decisive, the task is professionally developing and our mindset is “we’ll figure it out together.”

We need you to thrive in a small autonomous environment — initially only two children and a small team — in an independent building at Herfølge School, where we currently have classrooms. Holmehus Special School is a few kilometers away. You will participate in staff meetings and events with the rest of the staff at Holmehus Special School.

The team has scheduled weekly meetings and receives ongoing supervision, so there are good frameworks for professional sparring, development and well-being.

We work closely with PPR and with the students in the communicative, physical and psychological spaces. We have a motor room and work sensorimotorically.

Our unwavering view of people is that “children do the best they can” – and that is the driving force behind our work every day.

We use low arousal and mentalization as part of daily interaction with the students.

In Køge Municipality there is a negotiated working hours agreement with 0.5 as a preparation factor.

We are very focused on, together, creating a fantastic workplace, which among other things requires employee participation, engagement and a good working environment.

Salary and terms of employment in accordance with the agreement between KL and DLF. We have a local agreement with time for all tasks and a presence obligation during the scheduled teaching time and at meetings, as well as in the week after the summer holidays.

If you would like to know more about the position and possibly arrange a visit to the school, you can contact the school principal Corinna Hansen at tel. 23130194 (except in week 42).

Application deadline 22 October 2026 at 23:59.

The position is 37 hours.

Commencement no later than 1 December 2026.

We hold interviews on an ongoing basis.

Upon appointment to the position, a child care certificate and a criminal record certificate will be requested.

We prefer that you submit your application online. Click on “Søg stillingen” and attach your application and your CV.

In Køge Municipality you will become part of an organization with dedicated employees who come together every day in a common goal to create value for the citizens. In the municipality, we see diversity as a resource and want to promote equality. We therefore encourage all qualified applicants to apply for the position – regardless of gender, ethnic origin, religion, age or any potential disability.

So join the team! We offer you a varied working environment and a wide range of staff benefits, such as social activities and access to our holiday homes.
