About the job

Family Office, Bifrost, an entrepreneur respite care (called relief) in the home of families with children with special needs. The target group (1-18 years) spans from children with physical and/or mental disabilities and diagnoses such as ADHD, Down's Syndrome, Autism to youths with social and emotional challenges.

Content: The tasks are very different, as they draw on the individual child's interests and needs, and the most important thing is to create a good and safe relationship. In some tasks it's primarily about radiating and maintaining calm as well as being present for the child. In other tasks there can be activities as the focal point; for example going on trips in the forest, to the swimming pool, playing football, jumping on a trampoline, playing games, gaming, cooking, playing with Lego, making creative things.

We place much emphasis on matching the employee's competences and interests with what the child needs and wants.

The time with the child is about creating room for the rest of the family to be relieved.

Timetables: The tasks vary in both weekly hours and geographic location (Vejle Municipality and surroundings). The working hours typically range from midday/afternoon and/or evening as well as on weekends, so it can be combined with both studies and other work. Often the tasks are about 3-10 hours/week. Right now we also have tasks with night hours.

You can be employed as unskilled, and we also welcome applicants with relevant social/health care background and/or experience.

It can be an advantage if you have a driver's license and a car.

Please note in your application if you have a preferred number of hours.

Start as soon as possible.

We expect from you

• That you are engaged in and perhaps have experience with working with children and youths with special needs
• That you have a desire and willingness to meet the individual child on its terms
• That you possess responsibility, care and empathy in the work with the child

• That you can take initiative for different activities and socializing always adapted to the child's functional level, interests and needs
• That you seek sparring with the assigned family consultant regarding the work you perform with great independence
