We are seeking a reading advisor and Danish teacher for IUC, 10th grade

Are you keen to become part of our fantastic work community at Ikast-Brande Youth Center, 10th Grade (IUC), where the focus is on professionalism, well-being and the close relationship to the wonderful young people who choose a year in 10th grade? Do you want to help young people with reading and writing difficulties gain greater academic confidence and better opportunities in their future life and education? And would you like to combine reading guidance with Danish teaching and close relationships with young people? Then you may be our new colleague.

Since our skilled reading advisor has taken a new job closer to home, we at Ikast-Brande Youth Center, 10th grade (IUC) are seeking a trained teacher as reading advisor or dyslexia teacher for a permanent position from 1 January 2027.

You will become part of an engaged workforce where professionalism, well-being and relationships go hand in hand. We are passionate about giving the young people a school year in which they develop personally, academically and socially and become better equipped to make choices about their future.

A position with reading guidance and Danish as a central focus

Some of our students need support with reading and writing. Therefore we are looking for a reading advisor with knowledge of reading and writing difficulties, who can translate their knowledge into concrete help for the students and relevant guidance for colleagues.

You will be responsible for the school's overall reading guidance task. This includes, among other things, that you:

• Can help identify students' reading and writing difficulties and need for support.
• Provide feedback to students, parents and teachers.
• Initiate relevant support for the individual student and follow up continuously.
• Help students become confident and independent in using reading and writing technologies.
• Collaborate with colleagues to support students' reading and writing in teaching.

You will also teach Danish together with an experienced colleague in one or two of the school's smaller classes. Here the students need clear structure, predictability and safe relationships. There is a two-teacher arrangement in both classes, and since the majority of students finish their school year at IUC with the FP10 Danish exam, you must be able to teach up to the final exams.

You will also support your team colleagues in their role as mentor teachers for a group of the school's students. As a mentor teacher you have close contact with the student and the student's parents, and you will follow the student’s academic, personal and social development.

We would also like you to contribute to our elective subjects – for example reading and writing technology, reading café, biology or other natural science subjects. If you have other interests and competencies, we are curious about them as well. You will have the opportunity to shape the elective offerings after Christmas.

We are looking for you who

• Are trained as a teacher and educated reading advisor or dyslexia teacher.
• Have experience with dyslexic students and students with other reading and writing difficulties.
• Have good knowledge of reading and writing technologies and can make them applicable in the students' everyday life.
• Work in a structured way, follow up on agreements and contribute actively and constructively to team collaboration.
• Have strong Danish subject and didactic competences and can teach at FP9- and FP10-level.
• Special pedagogical competencies would be an advantage.

As a person and colleague you are good at creating trusting relationships and meet the young people with an appreciative approach and positive expectations. You contribute with humor and good spirits and have awareness of your own impact on the community and the work environment.

You thrive in a close collaboration where we share knowledge, follow common agreements and help each other. You are flexible, curious about your own teaching and have the desire and courage to develop it together with others. You have experience with or a desire to participate in two-teacher arrangements – and preferably experience with co-teaching.
