Part-time substitute for a 17-year-old girl

Skanderborg Municipality is seeking a part-time relief worker for a 17-year-old young woman who lives in the countryside a little outside Skanderborg.

There are 4 hours per week, depending on the young person's energy and capacity. The aim is to create some pleasant hours with shared interests and good company at the young person's own pace.

About the young person

The young person enjoys drawing, both on paper and digitally. If you have creative interests yourself, that would be an excellent way to build a relationship.

In addition, she is interested in

• Animals and genetics
• Vikings, mythology and ancient cultures, drawing, digital art and gaming.
• She plays Stardew Valley, so if you game yourself or would like to learn it, that would be an advantage

What does the assignment involve?

The task is about pleasant social interaction and shared interests. It can, for example, involve:

• Gaming together
• Drawing together
• Talking about shared interests
• Sharing knowledge about animals, genetics, history or mythology
• Coming up with small activities based on the young person's interests and daily form

The most important thing is not what you do, but that the time together feels safe, cozy and non-committal.

Who is the family seeking?

We are looking for a person who

• Is calm, patient and good at listening.
• Can build a relationship through common interests
• Wants to spend time with a young person on her terms. It is an advantage if you have creative interests or an interest in gaming.
• Has a driving license and the ability to get around without public transport, as the young person lives a little outside Skanderborg where public transport can be limited.

It is important to emphasize that this is not a pedagogical or treatment-related task. The young person already meets various initiatives in other contexts. The role of hour relief should therefore primarily be a positive space with a focus on relationship, shared interests and pleasant company.

Interested?

If this sounds like something for you, we would love to hear a little about yourself, your interests and why you think you could be a good match.

Application

Application deadline is 25 November 2026.

Employment

The position is desired to be filled as soon as possible.

The assignment is paid by Skanderborg Municipality, and the primary employers will be the family themselves. A child and criminal record check will be obtained prior to employment.

• Salary will be adjusted in accordance with the current rates issued by the Association of Municipalities (Kommunernes Landsforening).
• Salary is paid as hourly wage, monthly in arrears.
• Skanderborg Municipality does not reimburse any chosen expenses related to the relief; these are borne by the parents.
• If there is a need to change the working hours, this must be applied for separately by the parents by contacting Skanderborg Municipality's Special Advisory Service.
• If the approved time increases, decreases or is canceled, you are obliged to accept changes to the agreed working hours without further notice.
