Care for a teenager with autism in Hohenschönhausen

As a family relief service of Einhorn gGmbH, we offer children and young people with an impairment varied leisure activities. We pursue the goal of offering children with disabilities leisure activities that meet their personal interests and needs. Overall socially, we would like to promote with our offer the participation of children with impairment and stimulate the exchange between people with and without impairment. For support in the area of individual accompaniment we are looking for committed companions. 

For a teenager with autism in Hohenschönhausen, we are looking for an open-minded and resolute companion, which in the best case already has some experience in working with children with or without impairment. The child likes to swing, likes music and likes to ride the train. The child companion should have the desire to spend time with the child 1-2 times a month on weekends.

Your Tasks

In this individual accompaniment you accompany the child 1-2 times a month. For example, you go together to the playground or take small trips. The dates are agreed on individually with the family.

We offer you the opportunity to gain enriching experiences. You will also receive a free and competent induction. In line with our child protection concept, this also includes that you apply for an extended certificate of good conduct with our support and submit it to us. We are happy to offer you an hourly allowance, free training, reliable support for your volunteer work and much more.

What's needed

You do not necessarily need experience working with children or people with disabilities. We welcome an open attitude, empathy and patience.

This commitment is planned on a regular and longer-term basis: about 4-6 hours per month for at least a year.
Reliability, punctuality and regularity are very important to our families.

Time required

We are a families relief service offering leisure activities to kids and youth with disabilities. We provide group activities (swimming, excursions, sport, cooking), individual support as well as vacation trips to children. All that is organized by volunteering child care workers and a a supporting coordinator team.
