Vacant job

Welcome to Nejlikans Preschool – an independent preschool for those who want to combine pedagogical leadership with work closely with children in a smaller organization with short decision-making paths and close contact with the principal.

Nejlikans Preschool was founded in 1991 by Mellringekyrkan in Örebro and has a Christian profile. Today we have 26 children aged 1–5 years and work in smaller groups with high staff density. The staff works research-based and according to ICDP with a clear focus on relationships, and the operations are characterized by a project-oriented approach.

The staff team consists, in addition to the principal, of one preschool teacher and four childcare workers, and we are now looking for someone who wants to take overall responsibility for both leadership and pedagogical work in the group.

The position is a permanent employment of 75–100 %, where about one third of the position consists of principal duties and the remaining time of work as a preschool teacher in a children's group.
