Are you responsible, flexible, and want to work extra with children, youth, or adults with special needs?

As a respite caregiver, you support a child in their home to relieve the guardians. The goal is for parents to be able to do things on their own or together with siblings while you, as a respite caregiver, take care of the child. This means that you temporarily take over the caregiving needs of the child in the home or in the local area. A typical assignment usually involves 3-6 hours per week.

A companion means that you work closely with the individual to facilitate participation in community and cultural life for persons with extensive disabilities. This could involve accompanying the individual to visit their friends, train, bowl, swim, have coffee, play mini-golf, or take walks. This should serve as a means to help the individual maintain contacts with others and break the isolation that may result from a disability. A typical assignment usually involves 3-6 hours per week.

Being a contact person means being someone’s friend. It is a non-professional support, a fellow human being. In accordance with the LSS Act and the Social Services Act, a person with a disability can apply for a contact person. The contact person provides support and facilitates the individual’s contact with other people, participation in various activities, and promotes engagement in community leisure offerings. The assignments are 8 hours per month. A typical assignment usually involves two meetings per month for four hours each time.

The positions of respite caregiver and companion are hourly-based. You will work shorter shifts, about 3-6 hours each time depending on what the individual desires. As a contact person, you receive a fixed fee as well as reimbursement for expenses. The number of hours to be performed is determined by the caseworker.

The work is usually performed in the afternoon/evening and on weekends, but there may also be work during the daytime on weekdays. The job offers great flexibility and works very well to combine with studies or another part-time job. The contact person assignment can be combined with full-time work.
