Danahus is looking for in-home carers for several families in North Jutland

Danahus is part of the Specialized Support and Respite Care Services under Aalborg Municipality. We offer home respite care for children and young people with special needs living at home aged 0-18 years. The purpose is to give parents a break from the many daily tasks that can be associated with having a child with special needs.

We are currently seeking home caregivers for three families

• Family in 9490 Kaas with a 9-year-old boy. Up to 30 hours per month.

Here there is a need for a person who can be clear and create structure and always stay two steps ahead. A person who can spend time delving into the child together, e.g. in books, music, cars, LEGO and who does not mind repetitions. Also a person who can jog beside on a pleasant bike ride and who does not mind spending time outside in the garden. Care tasks such as diaper changing and helping with dressing etc. will be a natural part of the task. There is a dog in the home.

• Family in 9900 Gærum with an 11-year-old girl. Up to 25 hours per month.

Here there is a need for a person who can keep their own nervous system calm. A person who is clear in showing the child that they want the child. A person who together with the child can bake rolls or make pancakes, build LEGO, dive into the child’s interests together with them. There is a dog in the home.

• Family in 9760 Vrå with a 9-year-old boy. Up to 25 hours per month.

Here there is a need for a robust and clear person with backbone. A person who will help with, for example, handling quads/crosser and tractor, building things in wood in the workshop and generally be outdoors and active. A person who is clear in showing the child that they want the child and who can maintain calm and create security in situations where the child is challenged. There is a dog in the home.

As a home caregiver, you become an important support for the family and a meaningful person in the child’s daily life. The task mainly consists of creating safe and positive frames through companionship, activities and presence. The work takes place in close collaboration with the family, who also provides the necessary introduction and training.

Working hours vary from family to family and are planned in collaboration with the individual family. There will typically be weekends, but weekday afternoons and evenings can also occur.

We expect that you

• Are at least 18 years old.
• Are caring, responsible and stable.
• Have understanding of disability and understanding of the family’s situation.
• Can work independently while also engaging in close collaboration with the family.
• Are good at creating security, structure and predictability.
• Have an interest or experience with children and young people with special needs.
• Can see yourself in the job for a longer period.

We offer

• A meaningful and flexible job.
