Companion sought for a resident in Fredensborg

Companion needed for a 36-year-old man in Fredensborg.

The client has Down syndrome. His speech can be difficult to understand in pronunciation, but becomes easier the better you get to know each other. The client needs a companion who can support him in making the healthy choice regarding diet - the client has had heart surgery and should therefore eat heart-healthy. This is something his parents can discuss further. He also needs the companion to help him put on the right clothes - for example a hat in the winter months.

He has a very good understanding and is very attentive. The client also enjoys music, particularly Shubidua, Rammstein and Kim Larsen - the companion would also very much enjoy music!

The client is a sweet and loving man, who for the most part is in a good mood. He likes to tease and play. He plays basketball and other ball games - here he gets to use a lot of his good energy. He regularly goes to church and has served as bell-ringer many Sundays in the nearby church.

The client loves going for walks and often at a brisk pace! He can actually walk quite far. So he would like to be accompanied on walks in the forests of North Zealand, including near Esrum Lake, which is one of his favorites. A trip to the animal park is also always a hit. He also enjoys a trip to a café and to some extent also shopping. However, this is something he most often does together with the residential facility or the daily activity center he attends. He is also good at riding - so a training ride on a horse is always popular.

You get around by public transport or on foot. However, the client is not used to using public transport. Agreements are made as a rule with the client’s parents - perhaps in time with the housing facility.

The client is allocated 8 hours per month.

The client wishes for companionship on Friday afternoons in odd-numbered weeks, as well as Saturday/Sunday as needed.

There will be around 2-4 shifts per month of 2-4 hours each.

It may also become relevant to have somewhat more ad-hoc agreements, for example if the client’s parents are away.

A creative and flexible companion is sought, who looks forward to good outings with the client.

The position as companion is a part-time position.

The companion scheme is always used for self-selected activities outside the client's home.

The client covers all expenses related to the companionship.

Hourly wage

Weekdays: approx. 170 DKK

Saturday: approx. 180 DKK

The pay varies depending on where in the country the client lives.
