Re-advertisement

Would you have time to build relationships, work with high professional standards and accompany young people through an important period in their lives?

Kildevæld might be your new workplace.

We are seeking a trained pedagogue or psychomotor therapist who wants to make a difference for young people aged 18 to 30 with mental health difficulties. With us you will have the opportunity to apply your pedagogical expertise and support the young people in their development toward a more independent life.

At Kildevæld Residential Facility we work every day to strengthen the young people’s quality of life, development and possibilities to live an independent life.

As a pedagogue and contact person you will play a central role in helping the young person develop social skills, manage everyday life and, in time, become ready to move into their own housing.

Kildevæld is a temporary residential facility under the Danish Social Services Act § 107 and is part of the Center for Temporary and Independent Living Arrangements in the Social Administration.

Here you get time for what makes the biggest difference

The most important tool in your work is the relationship.

As a contact person you follow the young person through a longer process. You support the young person in developing social skills, managing everyday life and moving closer to education or employment. The goal is that the young person within one and a half to two years is ready to move into their own home.

With us you have plenty of time for presence, and you have great freedom to plan the work together with the young person. We believe the best results are created through trusting relationships, professional reflections and an effort based on the individual’s needs.

We work, among other things, with TBT, NADA, Low Arousal and the recovery/rehabilitation approach. If you have experience with other methods or theories, they are also welcome, as long as they support the core task.

You will become part of a work community where we help each other

At Kildevæld high professional standards and a good work environment go hand in hand.

We brainstorm with each other, share experiences and help one another when tasks become complex. There is room for humor, engagement and different professional perspectives, because we know that the best solutions arise in collaboration.

You will receive a thorough introduction to the work at Kildevæld and in the social psychiatry sector. At the same time you will meet a visible and present management that prioritizes your professional development.

We also have a high staffing level, so you never stand alone with difficult decisions.

We envision that you

• are a trained pedagogue or psychomotor therapist
• enjoy relationship-based work and are motivated to support young people in their development
• want to work with social-pedagogical interventions for young people with mental health difficulties
• can translate your pedagogical expertise into concrete support in the young person’s daily life

• meet the young people with presence, clarity and respect – even when you need to motivate or set boundaries
• contribute to a good working environment with engagement, humor and job satisfaction
