Care and pedagogical assistants for a protected intervention around a young person at Posekær Children's and Youth Home

Do you want to make a difference for a young person with complex support needs? Then you may be the person we are looking for.

About the job

Your special task

The position is linked to a young person with significant functional impairments and complex support needs, who requires a specially planned and shielded intervention. The work primarily takes place in a 1:2 framework in close collaboration with a colleague around the young person’s daily life. With the exception of morning shifts on weekdays where you are 1:1 until the young person is picked up by taxi to school.

As a Temp you will be a central and ongoing person in the young person’s life. The task requires that you can create safe, predictable and developmental frameworks through a clear pedagogical structure and a strong relational approach.

The young person may, at times, react with outwardly challenging or self-harming behavior as an expression of distress, burden or lack of regulation. Therefore, it is important that you can remain calm, de-escalate conflicts and use professional methods with a focus on prevention, understanding and development.

The task also involves close collaboration with family, school and other partners to create coherence and continuity around the young person’s well-being, development and quality of life.

We seek temps who are motivated to work closely to the core task and who see value in the small steps, the strong relationships and the specialized intervention that makes a real difference in a young person’s life.

• create structure, predictability and development opportunities for the young person
• engage in relationship work and support the young person’s social and communicative development

• annual course in the use of force so you are as well prepared as possible for the task

• a professionally strong environment focusing on development, well-being and collaboration
• a structured introductory program that ensures a good start
• a workplace focused on well-being where we help each other in daily life
