Educators for the Kærvang residential facility

Are you a social educator and passionate about making a difference for people with developmental disabilities and complex support needs? Then you are the person we are looking for to join our professional community at Kærvang.

About Kærvang

Kærvang is a social-pedagogical residential facility under Norddjurs Municipality, located in Ørsted's scenic surroundings – only 20 km from Randers, 35 km from Grenaa and 40 km from Aarhus. Here live adult citizens with a significant and lasting reduced physical and/or mental function. The citizen group is broad and varied in both support needs and life situation.

Common for the citizens is that they have a developmental delay, often combined with other diagnoses such as autism, behavior and attachment disorders or psychiatric issues. This requires professionalism, structure and relationship work – and it is exactly here, we as employees make a difference.

We work from a neuro-pedagogical approach and use methods such as LA2 in our daily practice. This means that we create a structured, recognizable, and predictable daily life for the citizens, where we work systematically with goals and sub-goals, and where documentation is an important part of the effort.

Your duties will include

• To support the citizens in daily tasks and create structure in daily life
• To contribute to holistic care and personal care based on the citizen's resources and needs.
• To plan and execute pedagogical interventions
• To join a contact team and ensure continuity in the professional effort
• To document and evaluate goals and sub-goals in collaboration with the citizen and the team
• To participate in collaboration with relatives and external partners

We are looking for you who

• Is educated as a social educator
• Has a positive and respectful view of people
• Is professionally reflective and can argue for your pedagogical choices
• Is patient and thrives on following the citizen's pace
• Is loyal, collaborative and contributes to a good working environment
• Has a driving license (category B)
• Familiarity with NEXUS, LA2(U) and neuro-pedagogy is an advantage.

We offer you

With us you become part of an exciting and meaningful workplace where collaboration, professionalism and well-being go hand in hand. You will experience a daily life with a large variation in tasks, and the opportunity to bring your professional competencies into play. You join a colleagues group where we value each other's competencies, share knowledge and prioritize a working environment with room for both professional sparring and collegial support.

We have a good working environment with room for both professional reflection and humor. You will receive a thorough introduction to both the place and the field. Together we work to create the best framework for the citizens' well-being and development – and for you as an employee to feel valued and motivated.
