Helper for night shifts sought for a young man with muscular dystrophy

I am a young man 23 years old who sits in an electric wheelchair, I live at home with my parents in the countryside close to the town of Gesten, in Vejen Municipality. I have my own room with an associated bathroom and helper's room.

I am very interested in what happens in Denmark and in the world. I care a lot about various sports such as football, handball, cycling, etc. I spend a lot of time in front of my computer, doing everything from gaming, YouTube, news and stocks.

Night shifts run from Sunday evening to Tuesday morning in the time period 23:00 - 07:00. The helper would have to be my arms and legs. Tasks would be to adjust the duvet and pillows, move me into bed with the help of a draw/slide sheet, and personal hygiene. I have recently gotten an NIV machine, where I have a mask over the nose that supports my breathing at night. One may sleep in the helper's room when needed, where there is a bed. I have a wireless doorbell; I ring it when help is needed. It can be anything from 2-8 times when help is needed.

Helper may be non-smoker, preferably have a driving license, as there is no public transport options. Helper must be willing to drive to our summer houses for longer periods located in Kelstrup (Haderslev Municipality) and Grønninghoved (Kolding Municipality).

Hours: 16 hours consisting of 2 night shifts of 8 hours; helper may be able to cover for my other helpers in case of illness and vacation. Possibly an option for a day shift of 5-6 hours so it adds up to 21 hours.

Start: As soon as possible

Application deadline: 22 Nov 2026

Interviews will be held continuously until the right person is found.
