Helper(s) sought for a 30-year-old man in Middelfart - full-time or part-time

Would you like to make a difference in everyday life for a young man with a big heart, lots of personality and many interests? Then maybe you are the one we are looking for as a helper for Mathias in Middelfart.

Mathias is 30 years old, wheelchair user and nonverbal. He has epilepsy and uses diapers. He is a social and strong-willed young man who values presence, coziness and secure surroundings. He thrives best when things happen at his pace, and when he is surrounded by people he knows and feels safe with.

On good days Mathias can be smiling, happy and very social. On less good days he may become frustrated and express it by shouting. He needs helpers who can meet him with calm, patience and understanding.

He is interested among other things in

• Dump trucks, tractors and machines
• Music, including Kim Larsen, Bruno Mars, Maroon 5, Bamse & Kylling and Popsie & Krelle
• Outings and experiences outside home
• Cozy time and presence
• Getting out into nature when the weather is nice

Work tasks

As a helper you will among other things have to

• Help with bathing and personal care
• Assist with toilet visits and diaper changes
• Assist with meals and drinks
• Participate in play, activities and training
• Keep Mathias's department clean and tidy
• Wash clothes
• Clean and maintain aids
• Accompany to activities and outings

Mathias participates regularly in several activities

• Bowling on Mondays
• Horse riding on Wednesdays
• Swimming on Thursdays

There are always two helpers with during bowling and swimming.

We are looking for you who

• Are stable and flexible
• Have a calm and acknowledging approach
• Can create security and structure
• Thrive on working closely with another person
• Are a creatively thinking person who can come up with activities yourself
• Have a driver's license (requirement, as Mathias lives in the countryside)
• Like animals, as there are a dog, cat and horses around him

Knowledge of epilepsy is an advantage, but not a requirement.

• Friday: 09.00 - 16.00
