Message from your future manager

I work with the premise of trustworthy leadership, where you as an employee are given the opportunity to take responsibility and work based on your competencies and experiences.

For me, there are three important guiding principles that I have as a starting point for work in preschool – the best for the children, together, and joy.

• The best for the children – we must always have the best for the children in our eyes when we make decisions and act.
• Together we work towards set goals, follow governing documents and budget frameworks.
• Joy – it should be fun to come to and be at work. To achieve this, each of us needs to actively work to create and maintain a good work environment. We are each other's work environment!

Are you a person who is attracted to the guiding principles, who appreciates collaboration, and wants to develop together in a collegial partnership? Then you should apply for this position.

Welcome with your application!
