About the role

Odense Kommune is seeking a daily pedagogical leader for Børnehuset Rising, starting on 1 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter. The previous leader has retired, and the new leader will help shape a welcoming, high-quality everyday life for children in a resource children's house that forms part of Børneinstitution Rising, a community of seven children's houses. Børnehuset Rising cares for 34 kindergarten children and 16 nursery children, and its guiding vision is to be known for appreciative development environments and committed communities, supported by professionalism as a core value. The leader will work as part of a dynamic leadership team that proactively develops the day-institution area. Day-to-day work includes pedagogical leadership and personnel leadership, supporting a strong and systematic culture of documentation and evaluation, and turning leadership theory and municipal strategies into practical, value-creating work with children, families and staff. Administrative leadership covers daily operations, work plans, maintenance tasks, absence conversations, contact with internal and external partners, and steering the children's house framework budget, while strategic leadership involves implementing the institution's vision, value and culture and linking the leadership team with the children's house. The post offers leadership support through planned dialogue and sparring, a mentor colleague in the first period, joint work on major leadership tasks, and systematic work on development goals, with ample opportunity for professional and personal development.
