Are you passionate about recovery-oriented rehabilitation, meaningful activities and creating development opportunities together with people in complex life situations? Then you might be the one we are looking for at Sønderparken.

We are seeking a colleague who is curious about what creates value, meaning and direction in an individual's life, and who together with the citizen wishes to create the best possible conditions for well-being, development and participation.

For us, the crucial question is not: "What is wrong with you?" but rather: "Who are you, what is important to you, and how can we together support the life you want to live?"

Therefore we are seeking a professional who views relationships, participation, mastery and development as central paths to increased quality of life, and who is motivated to support citizens' opportunities to take an active part in their own lives, strengthen their ability to act and engage in meaningful communities.

With us, recovery, rehabilitation and citizen involvement are fundamental guiding principles, because we know that hope, equal relationships and the experience of belonging lay the foundation for development. Based on this understanding, we work every day to create frameworks where citizens experience being met with respect, influence and belief in their own possibilities.

About the position

As an employee at Sønderparken you will become part of a multidisciplinary environment where professional differences strengthen each other and contribute with new perspectives to the joint task solution.

We believe that strong interventions are created in the meeting between different professionalities. Therefore it is expected that you actively bring your mono-disciplinary knowledge and your professional perspectives into play and contribute with reflections and courses of action that qualify the overall effort around the citizen.

As a professional you focus on identifying the citizen's resources, challenges and development opportunities and translate this knowledge into concrete rehabilitative actions in everyday life. You have an eye for the importance of relationships, structure, activity, community and predictability as elements that can support well-being, mastery and development.

• relationship work and support for everyday mastery
• work with citizens' goals, sub-goals and development processes
• planning and implementation of activities and communities
• d documentation and professional assessments
• multidisciplinary collaboration around citizens' development and well-being
• involvement of the citizen's wishes, hopes and resources in the daily effort

You will become part of a mini-team around a group of citizens and will, together with your colleagues, be responsible for supporting the work with the citizens' goals, sub-goals and development processes in daily life.

We are looking for you who

• are educated as an occupational therapist
• are curious and have the courage to ask questions
• see people's resources and possibilities as a starting point for development
• have an eye for the connection between well-being, participation, identity and mastery
• can work rehabilitative and recovery-oriented
• see structure, relationships and meaningful activities as important tools in the work with development
• dare to be honest about your uncertainties and see mistakes as opportunities for learning
• communicate clearly and have an awareness of the importance of strong relationships
• meet people with respect, presence and humility
• want to join a professional community where we reflect, challenge and develop together

With us you get

• a strong professional and collegial community
• a thorough introduction and good opportunities to develop in the role
• supervision and room for professional reflection and sparring
• opportunity to actively bring your professional expertise into play in a recovery-oriented social-psychiatric practice
• a workplace characterized by engagement, job satisfaction and professional pride
• opportunity to make a meaningful difference for people every single day
