ICT Consultant / ASK-Guide to the Center for Communication and Technology

Do you want to make a concrete difference for adults and children with complex communication needs – and be part of a strong professional environment where communication, technology and the human element go hand in hand?

Center for Communication and Technology in Horsens Municipality is seeking a new ICT consultant / AAC - advisor for our ICT team. The position is 37 hours per week.

You will be part of a highly specialized team of six employees working with children and adults with significant communication difficulties. This can include challenges with speech, reading, writing, memory and overview, where there is a need for communication aids under the Social Services Act §§ 112 and 113.

You follow citizens through the entire process – from assessment and testing of assistive devices to implementation, follow-up and support – with a focus on finding solutions that strengthen the individual's ability to communicate and participate in a meaningful everyday life.

Part of the work as ICT consultant and AAC advisor consists of tasks in the children’s area, where the focus is on AAC, language development and the start-up of both analogue and digital aids.

A day-to-day life with professionalism, variation and close collaboration

As an ICT consultant and AAC advisor you will have a varied day-to-day, working closely with citizens, relatives and professionals.

You will among other things work with

• assessment and testing of communication solutions
• guidance/advice on AAC and communication strategies
• testing, adaptation and implementation of communication aids
• guidance of the citizen's network and professionals around the citizen
• follow-up on whether the solution works in the citizen's daily life
• teaching and dissemination in AAC and communication
• collaboration across disciplines and sectors.

You will become part of CKT
