• Support to structure daily life and planning of activities.
• Training and development of practical and personal skills.
• Motivation and support to create and maintain appropriate routines.

• Has experience working with people with developmental disabilities, mental vulnerability and social challenges.
• Is curious about professional development and learning and actively contributes with knowledge, experiences and reflections.
