Växthusets Preschool is now looking for an engaged childcare worker for a fixed-term position. Together, we want to create a joyful, secure, and educational environment for all children. Apply today!

Your Role

As a childcare worker, you work in a team together with preschool teachers and other childcare workers. Together, you create teaching that is joyful, educational, and meaningful for every child. Our operations are characterized by the motto "I can, I want, and I dare!". Based on play, we believe in the competent child and work with a research-based approach. Children's participation and influence are a natural part of our operations.

In your role, you contribute to creating care, security, and pedagogical activities that promote children's development and learning. The role involves planning, implementing, following up, and evaluating operations together with colleagues based on the preschool curriculum, regulatory documents, and set goals. You work project- and subject-oriented and document children's learning processes within the framework of our systematic quality work. You actively participate in pedagogical documentation and development work. During the autumn, we will focus specifically on children's language development, where aesthetic forms of expression such as drama are a central part.

You will also work with introductions, participate in project work, contribute to parent meetings and pedagogical conversations, and have daily contact with guardians. The position also includes opening and closing the preschool. You belong to the young children's team with children aged 1–2 years. We work with extended work teams, collaborate across departments, and help each other when needed. Close collaboration and a positive team spirit are highly valued.

Your Experience

For this position, you are required to have:

• Upper secondary or post-secondary education as a childcare worker.
• Experience working as a childcare worker in a preschool.
• Experience and good knowledge of pedagogical documentation.
• Good digital competence and familiarity with digital tools.
• Good ability to express yourself well in Swedish, both orally and in writing.

It is meritorious if you have:

• Experience working with younger children aged 1–2 years.
• Knowledge and experience of communicating with support from PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) and/or visual aids.

Is this you?

We are looking for you who are a secure, stable, and engaged childcare worker with good ability to collaborate, communicate, and build good relationships with children, colleagues, and guardians. You are clear in your communication, both in your pedagogical approach and in meetings with others. In your interactions, you are calm, attentive, and accommodating, creating trust through clear and respectful communication.

You are self-reliant, proactive, and confident in making decisions on the spot. You dare to raise issues that need discussion and stand by joint decisions. You see yourself as an important puzzle piece in a team where trust, respect, and a good tone are crucial for creating a good work environment.

You create security in the children's group and always have the children's best interests and the operation's needs in focus. Above all, you are present and available in the meeting with the children, and you want to be a secure and significant adult who makes a difference in their daily lives every day and contributes to their development. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
