Clients have diverse support needs related to, for example, intellectual disabilities, the autism spectrum, as well as health and mental health challenges. The work requires a calm, competent, and present approach. Responsibilities include assisting clients in daily activities (e.g., personal hygiene, dining, and medication) and supporting them in interaction and everyday situations.

The position requires appropriate education in the social and health care sector (e.g., practical nurse), registration in the central register of social and health care professionals, and an interest in client work within disability services. We expect good interaction and cooperation skills, as well as a responsible and professional approach. Experience in demanding client work and knowledge of speech-supporting and alternative communication methods are valued, but a motivated and respectful attitude toward the client is most important.
