Do you have experience with autism? Support a 33-year-old man in Gentofte

Do you have experience with autism and are you motivated to create structure, safety and good relationships? Then you now have the opportunity to become an important part of the daily life of a 34-year-old man who lives in his own apartment in Gentofte.

About the assignment

You will be attached to a 34-year-old man who enjoys social contact and has many interests. He participates in day services several days a week and manages many things independently in everyday life. At the same time, he needs pedagogical support to create overview, keep appointments and maintain a predictable structure in his daily life.

The man has autism as well as language and motor challenges. He understands what is being said, but can be difficult to understand, especially if you do not know him. Therefore, it is important that you are patient in communication and give him the time needed to speak.

Your task is to assist him in following the daily structures and routines that create calm and readability. You help with planning the afternoon and evening, support practical tasks at home and motivate to activities, while you work with a help-to-self-help approach. The focus is to support his independence and strengthen the skills he already has.

You also support in social situations where he may need guidance in interaction and communication. He benefits from clear frameworks, fixed agreements and a calm approach. Especially in periods with increased pressure, it is important that you can help maintain structure and create predictability.

In daily life you will, among other things, cook together, handle practical tasks, go for walks or participate in activities based on his interests. He enjoys, among other things, movies, music, card games, computer games, books and exercise.
