About the job

The good life in focus

Quality and joy of life are in focus at Tranbjerg Nursing Home. We work purposefully to create good everyday lives together with the residents and ensure that they have a good day – every day – in a meaningful and safe community based on each citizen's wishes and self-determination. We work under the elderly reform and its 3 core values: Self-determination for the elderly , Trust in the staff and the resident-centered leadership , and Close interaction with relatives, local communities, and civil society.

We are looking for a professionally skilled and engaged nurse who wants to make a difference in the everyday life of the residents.

Every day we work purposefully to ensure a good citizen journey – always in close cooperation with the residents and with each other. Our nurses have a preventive and health-promoting view on residents' health and work systematically to maintain their functional level so they can live a good and meaningful everyday life.

As a nurse with us you will be permanently attached to one of our three houses. Here you will collaborate closely with the house's occupational therapist and physiotherapist, as well as the rest of the interdisciplinary team consisting of social and health care assistants and aides, nutrition assistants, the nursing home’s on-site physician, and the other colleagues at the nursing home.

You actively contribute to gathering knowledge about residents' health status through close participation in their processes and ensure systematic skills development – both for yourself and for your colleagues.

Working hours are primarily daytime. There is a rotated shift from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every 3rd week. As a nurse you are also part of the South District community, where we take turns covering 13 nursing homes on weekends and holidays – two nurses at a time.
