Support Aide for Child with Muscular Dystrophy - DUOS

***Do you want to make a difference in the everyday life of a boy with muscular dystrophy?** Here, you’ll have the opportunity to combine professional skills and care in close collaboration with both the family and the child.*

About the Task
A 12-year-old boy with muscular dystrophy needs a support person to help create positive experiences and assist with his daily training. The boy enjoys trips around the local area, café visits, and time at the playground, using both a wheelchair and an electric scooter when necessary. Muscle training is a regular part of his routine, and you will be trained in a specific program to carry out with him – no prior experience with training is required, but you should be ready to make it a natural part of the interaction.

You will work closely with the family, who will train you in the necessary routines. The most important thing is that you can adapt activities and support to match the boy's energy levels and needs.
