Do you have experience with ADHD and autism? We are seeking reliable adult support in Esbjerg

Do you have solid and relevant experience with children or young people with ADHD and autism – and do you have the calm, presence and overview to be a trusted adult in a daily life where small signals can mean a lot? Experience with ADHD and autism is a clear requirement to be able to carry out the task.

We are seeking two staff members for a personal and meaningful assignment with a boy in Esbjerg. He needs an adult who can be with him when his mother is not at home, and who can support him with calm, predictability and a good understanding of children and young people with complex needs.

About the boy

The boy needs support from an adult who has experience with ADHD, autism and children or young people who can have difficulties with demands, transitions and emotional regulation. It is important that you can work calmly, predictably and with respect for the child's needs.

When he is stressed or overstimulated, he may need space, calm and clear adult support. Therefore it is crucial that you can read small signals, maintain an overview and adapt your approach, without pressuring or making unnecessary demands.

The task

The task is primarily about creating safety and being present when his mother is not at home. There are no predefined pedagogical goals or practical tasks beyond supporting him in everyday life and helping to create calm and predictability.

You must be able to meet him with patience, respect and clear boundaries – and at the same time understand that reactions can be expressions of overload, insecurity or a need for distance.

· Can create safety without pressuring or making unnecessary demands

· Preferably is a pedagogue, PAU or unskilled with relevant experience and strong personal competencies
