About the job

Are you passionate about rehabilitation, and do you see the whole person behind every diagnosis?

At Trollehøj Care Center we are currently looking for two social- and health care helpers who want to help create a safe, active and meaningful everyday life for our residents.

We have room for you, whether you thrive in the daylight shift or prefer the calm of the night shift.

We are currently seeking

  • 1 social- and health care helper for a fixed day shift.
  • 1 social- and health care helper for a temporary position on the night shift.

The positions are, in principle, 37 hours per week, but we are flexible.

Tell us what fits into your life, and we will try to match it.

You will work weekend shifts every 2 weeks (in even weeks), and we look forward to welcoming you on January 1, 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

About the job – close to the person and professional practice

Our residents are both younger and older with various physical and cognitive impairments. This means that your everyday life will be both varied and professionally challenging.

With us you will have space to

  • make independent decisions based on the resident's current life situation.
  • work rehabilitatively, so that the individual resident is supported in maintaining their own active life.
  • translate your sharp observations into clear written documentation and dialogue with colleagues.
  • actively contribute to a strong interdisciplinary environment, where your voice counts.

What we can offer you

We want to be a workplace where it is pleasant to go to work, and where you can develop. With us you get:

  • tailored onboarding adapted precisely to your experiences and competences.
  • a fixed mentor who ensures that you land safely in your new tasks.
  • close collaboration with key professional staff within dementia, wounds, mobility and incontinence.
  • a strong cross-disciplinary community and an engaged, helpful colleague group.

Who are you?

You have your heart in the right place and your professional pride in order.

We imagine that you

  • are educated as a social- and health care helper.
  • communicate openly, appreciatively and always with a smile – both towards residents and colleagues.
  • meet your surroundings with curiosity and openness.
  • have knowledge of Nexus – or are willing to learn it (we will teach you!).

Does this sound like something for you?

Then send your application to us as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing from you!

About Svendborg Municipality
