When the doctor meets the person – we are looking for you

About the job

We are looking for an educator who wants to be close to the children – and who also wants to help develop our professional practice, which we are well underway with.

At Smedebakken we work with small groups, presence, play, nature and slow pedagogy. We practice being slow together, because we believe that children need adults who can be present and notice what happens right in front of us. and be slow together.

Right now we are at an exciting professional stage. The next three years, Smedebakken will be part of All Children’s Daycare, where together with KP we will work on our pedagogical practice. Here we will explore, practice and become wiser about how we create good participation opportunities, strong child communities in play in our daily life.

It is not a project that sits beside our daily work. It is something we must work on where it all happens – together with the children.

We work, among other things, with the Care Knot from Children’s Welfare, where we practice looking behind the behavior and asking:

What is the child trying to tell me? For us, a child’s behavior is not just something to be changed. It tells us something that we adults must be curious about. For we do not move the children. We move the adults.

We have about once a month leader-guided supervision with our psychologist who comes to the house.

About you

We are looking for an educator or an educational assistant (or you who have substantial practical experience and perhaps are considering training), who has something on their heart and at the same time wants to continue becoming academically wiser. but also someone who is entirely new to the profession or has many years in their field. You do not need to come with all the answers. But you should be willing to ask questions, wonder, and engage in dialogue with your colleagues. For us, success is only achieved in community.

I like people who dare to say “I actually don’t know” because it speaks of the courage to be your whole self. You must be able to see the child before you see the behavior. You must be able to be close to the children and at the same time hold on to the professional perspective.

You may have something special you are passionate about. Perhaps motor skills, nature, play, relationships or something completely different. We need different people who can bring their professional expertise into play.

About Børnehuset Smedebakken

Smedebakken is a nursery where we bring both heart and mind to work.

We are in the middle of an exciting professional development, and over the next three years we will be part of All Children’s Daycare, where we in collaboration with KP will continue to work on our pedagogical practice and become even wiser about how we create good participation opportunities and strong communities for all children.

We have already started our professional journey. We have received teaching and professional sparring from Children’s Welfare, where we among other things have worked with the Care Knot and our view of the children and their behavior.

That work does not stop here. We must continue to translate what we have learned into our daily life in the rooms. We must use our shared professional language, be curious about our own practice, and together explore what we adults can do when something becomes difficult.

For it is there that the professionalism must be felt—in the meeting with the children and with each other.

You will therefore enter a nursery where there is an opportunity to help set the course and develop the pedagogical practice together with us.

We focus on our core task, shared direction, structure, weekly plans and dialogue. We use each other professionally, and we believe that development happens best when we dare to look at our own practice together.

People are the foundation. and People develop the processes.

That is how I would like to lead Smedebakken – and how I would like us to work together.

So if you are a educator, and you feel you want to be part of it …

then I would really like to hear from you.

Perhaps it is you we are missing at Smedebakken.

Training is a given - not a luxury

We prioritise developing the competencies of all our educators and teaching assistants.
