Pedagogical on-call substitutes sought for an autism residential care facility south of Silkeborg (flexible job, with long onboarding)

Be part of taking responsibility to create clear frameworks and stability for citizens with complex challenges. Join the temporary staff corps at HabitusHuset Them south of Silkeborg.

This is the job for you who wish to become an on-call substitute at a residential facility where we work every day to support and help residents with special needs.

As an on-call substitute at Habitus you can expect long shifts (typically from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day), which gives you few working days and thus high flexibility in your private life. You will daily work together with colleagues who – like you – are passionate about helping those who are most in need. You can look forward to close collaboration in the fixed team around the resident as well as with the rest of the house in daily sparring.

With us you get great responsibility and the opportunity to take ownership of your tasks. You become an important part of the house with the possibility to make independent decisions. Sparring is also a natural part of everyday life, where we are curious about each other and our differences.

Because there can be outwardly aggressive behaviour, physically as well as verbally, a professional approach is expected that enables you to stay calm and maintain an overview in complex situations, while also reflecting on the underlying behaviour.

We expect that you have

• Ability to take 4-6 shifts per month
• A relevant pedagogical or health-care education – such as educator, pedagogical assistant, teacher, social worker, occupational and physiotherapist, health care assistant or nurse (must have an interest in the pedagogical field)
• Knowledge of autism, TEACCH and working with people with psychological challenges
• A flexible approach to working hours, including weekends
• A professionalism that enables you to show calm, even when the waves are high
• A high degree of empathy, honesty and willingness to take responsibility
• Experience with personal care – otherwise we will teach you
• A category B driving license

About HabitusHuset Them

At HabitusHuset Them you become part of a residential facility where community and professional competence are our key words. We are a service aimed at citizens with autism spectrum disorder, attention disorders or other developmental disorders as well as possible additional diagnoses, such as intellectual disability, mental disorders as well as neurological and genetically conditioned syndromes, etc.

With us there is no such thing as business as usual, and you will thus have the opportunity to influence the house and help shape the culture together with your colleagues. As one of the staff describes it:

“We solve the tasks together – there is sparring, support and encouragement all around.”

You will be met by helpful colleagues and an approachable management team that actively participates in daily life with reflection and supervision. Together we focus on professionalism and creating the right framework for development, well-being and professional quality – for both residents and staff – in the midst of the beautiful surroundings near Them.
