Atuarfik Inussuk is looking for an AKO Social Worker

Atuarfik Inussuk is looking for an AKO social worker as of September 15, 2026

Do you want to help create the best AKO with activity and safety? Do you want to be part of a dynamic workplace where recognition, community, and development are core values?

Then we have the perfect job for you!

Nuuk's new school – Atuarfik Inussuk - is ready to welcome employees and children from two schools as well as the two AKOs Illu and Narsarmiutaq

AKO and School

The leisure part is a large and important part of most elementary children's daily lives, and for us, it is important that the AKO is a safe place that allows for "free play" alongside planned activities and movement. You will become a social educator for a new AKO with approximately 300 children divided into three groups of about 100 children. The AKO is part of Atuarfik Inussuk and operates according to the same values as the school. The new AKO is a merger of the two AKOs Illu and Narsarmiutaq and will be located in the same physical premises as the school. An important goal in the AKO will therefore also be to create continuity for the children from when they arrive at school in the morning until they go home after the leisure part in the afternoon.

· The AKO currently consists of around 37 educational staff. Read more about Atuarfik Inussuk here:
