Become an important adult in Leeloos' everyday life – Temporary § 32 support in Amager

Do you want to make a real difference for a young girl with special needs? Do you thrive on creating safety, structure and presence – and dream of a job where the relationship is the most important working tool?

Then maybe you are the one we are looking for.

Olivia Denmark is seeking a committed and relationship-focused employee for a temporary support assignment with 14-year-old Leeloo , who lives with her mother in Amager.

The position is financed under the Child Welfare Act § 32 and is temporary up to 1 year , or until a more permanent offer is established. The hours may be adjusted over time in line with Leeloos development, the family\'s needs, and the municipal grant.

Who is Leeloo?

Leeloo is a sweet and calm girl who loves presence, creative activities, music, phone and iPad. After school she often needs a quiet afternoon where she can relax with a trusted adult.

She has tuberous sclerosis, epilepsy, ADHD and a developmental disability, which means she needs structure, predictability and a familiar adult who can support her through the day\'s activities.

The most important thing for Leeloo is not that something is happening all the time – but that she experiences calm, safety and an adult who is present and follows her pace.

About the task

You will become an important part of Leeloos daily life and work from a fixed and structured daily plan.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday are school days. Leeloo comes home by taxi at the start of your shift, where you receive her. Thereafter you follow a calm afternoon structure with snacks, cozy company and activities based on her daily form. This could be creative activities, music, drawing or games on a phone or iPad.

The long shift occurs about every other Thursday , depending on mom\'s work schedule. On this day Leeloo is off from school, and you follow a fixed daily structure with pedagogical support, meal support and calm activities. If the weather and Leeloos mood allow, you can also take a short walk or do other smaller activities outside the home.

You work alone in the home, but you will be thoroughly introduced to both the pedagogical approach and Leeloos needs. You will receive ongoing sparring from the area/region manager.

Note! There is a cat in the home
