WHERE PLAY LEADS THE WAY: BECOME AN EARLY YEARS TEACHER AT THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF BILLUND

Are you a master of curiosity, creativity, and PLAY? Do you thrive in a vibrant, multicultural environment where every day is an adventure in learning? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

At the International School of Billund (ISB), we place play at the heart of everything we do. Our Kindergarten is a dynamic space where children aged 3-6 discover, explore, and grow through play-based learning and the International Baccalaureate’s Primary Years Programme (PYP).

Now, we’re on the lookout for an enthusiastic Early Years Teacher/Kindergarten Pedagogue to join our team and bring the passion for playful learning to life!

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
At ISB, it’s not just about ticking boxes – it’s about your creativity, passion, and commitment to bringing the Pedagogy of Play to life, every day.
Here’s what makes a great fit:

• A Relevant Education: You bring a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree as an Early Years Teacher/Pedagogue (or equivalent)
• Fluency in English: Our days are all about learning and growing with English as the language of instruction, so fluency is a must
• Hands-on Experience: You have worked professionally with children aged 3-6 and love watching them thrive
• Connection Skills: You’re great at connecting with little ones, parents, and colleagues, and keeping a positive and solution-oriented attitude
• Eagerness to Learn: Familiarity with the IB PYP curriculum is a bonus, but your curiosity to learn is what’s most important

WHERE PLAY MEETS PURPOSE: YOUR ROLE IS

• To foster a playful, inclusive, and caring environment where every child feels seen, heard, and supported
• To plan and implement engaging, child-centered activities that spark curiosity and promote development
• Working seamlessly as a team player to create a vibrant learning space that celebrates multiculturalism
• Communicate with families to build strong relationships and keep them informed about their child’s learning journey
• In collaboration with your co-teacher take the lead in planning, implementing and evaluating playful activities and invitations to play
