Who we are

In Skærehaven 16 adults aged 21-61 live.

Common to the residents is that they are all substantially developmentally disabled. Several residents have autism, Down syndrome or Angelman syndrome. In addition, the residents have very different handicaps and thus also different competencies, needs and wishes. The residents are predominantly nonverbal, but some residents have a limited language; others communicate through clear body language and sign language.

All residents have individual pedagogical plans and goals, based on each individual's resources and needs. Our professional foundation is based on recognizing each resident, we focus on residents' resources and what works. We stand professionally on structure, KRAP, autism- and neuro-pedagogical approaches. In Skærehaven all residents are mobile. They all have, to a greater or lesser extent, need for support and guidance for personal care.

All residents depend on the structure that is arranged for – and with them – being followed. There may be outward-directed behavior, which we work to prevent.

We believe that as people you achieve quality of life and development when you are understood and actively involved in your own life. This means that we work so that our residents are actors in their own lives.

We work with a team-oriented structure. The work is organized with mixed day and evening shifts and every other weekend.

We work with residents according to the values

• We start from each individual's competencies and support development from there.
• The resident is an actor in their own life.
• The resident has a right to development, co-determination and self-determination
• The resident's individual plan and structure is a management tool in daily life for both the resident and the employee.

The region is obliged to inform you about the starting salary for the position. You will be told the base salary, centrally fixed allowances and pension in the collective agreement. In addition to the starting salary, the pay may include any negotiated allowances depending on the position, your experience and qualifications.
