Close to the residents and everyday life

In the autism area you work with adults who need skilled and present professionals around them. The majority of residents have a diagnosis on the autism spectrum, while others may have, for example, a developmental delay or disabilities.

There are differences between the residential facilities, but the common factor for all residents is that they need the structure and predictability of autism pedagogy in order to thrive as well as possible. You will play an important role in creating safe environments and a daily life that makes sense for the individual.

' You will become part of an area with many possibilities and great diversity. There may be a lot of personal care at one place, while there is a resident who needs support to take a driving test at another place ', says Christian Bach Birkshøj, head of the autism area.

Use your health-professional background in a pedagogical practice

You will become part of a multidisciplinary work community where your health-professional background works together with the pedagogical professional knowledge. Here you can help develop and implement health-related initiatives, spar with colleagues about health-related issues and help translate your knowledge into a daily life that makes sense for the individual.

Your tasks may include, among others,

• supporting residents in their development, well-being and independence
• handling and following up on health-related efforts for the individual resident
• supporting residents in personal care and everyday activities in a respectful and caring way
• documenting and following up on the pedagogical and health-related efforts
• collaborating with relatives and multidisciplinary partners.

Your upcoming colleague, Janus, explains: ' We are the resident's secure bastion. We cover the whole person because we are here all the time. In this way, we help make a huge difference for some vulnerable residents .

We work, among other things, with autism pedagogy, Low Arousal 2 and recovery-oriented rehabilitation to create structure, predictability and safe environments around the residents.

All new employees receive a thorough onboarding with, for example, a mentor and introductory shifts, where you get to know residents and routines together with experienced colleagues.
