Favrskov Municipality is seeking a relief caregiver for 7-year-old twins

Favrskov Kommune søger en engageret og hjertevarm person, der har lyst til at bruge tid sammen med en af to drenge på 7 år, der blandt andet har udfordringer som følge af en genfejl.

As a respite carer you will be an important part of a family. You will as a respite carer only be with one of the boys at a time. Your role will among other things be to create a positive free space for the family.

Both boys are naturally happy and they love to play outside. You must therefore be able to see yourself outdoors part of the year.

As a respite carer you should have a desire to work with children with special needs. It is an advantage that you have experience/knowledge of working with children with special needs so that the boys can be offered a day-to-day life with structure and content; this is however not a requirement for the employment. It is more important that you are a good match and that a good relationship can be created with the boys. Before you start you will receive a good introduction to the task from the family, so you feel secure in the assignment.

You will join a team of respite carers and will therefore have the opportunity to influence the planning of hours. The specific working hours are planned in dialogue with the family. From you we expect;

• That you want to work with children with a disability.
• You must be at least 18 years old and have experience and/or a desire to work with children and have a wish to become a meaningful adult for a child and the family.
• That you can see yourself in the role for at least 1 year.
• You must be prepared that your workplace as a starting point is in the family's home/garden. You will be employed by Favrskov Municipality, which handles the contractual aspects of the employment.

In connection with the employment, a child and criminal record check will be obtained. The recruitment is desired as soon as possible. Your application for the respite carer job should be sent directly to the family. If your qualifications are relevant, the family will invite you to an interview. The job advertisement will be removed when the family has found the right respite carer.

Favrskov Municipality can only receive applications sent electronically. It is a prerequisite for employment that the person we wish to hire has not been convicted of offences that would make them unfit to hold the position. A criminal record check will therefore be obtained for the candidate who is offered employment.
