Your tasks involve providing support in both daily life and leisure, personal care, health, and functional ability. You provide pedagogical support and consciously work to help the individual use and develop their abilities as independently as possible.

In addition to these tasks, you will also clean, do laundry, make purchases, and manage medications.

You are the contact person and responsible for structuring and planning the individual's daily life together with them.
