Educators for the Special Measures Service, OVUS

Would you like a daily life where professionalism develops and where you have the opportunity to develop and use your professional competencies and collaborative skills?

The organization is constantly changing and we look into an exciting future where we develop our services and challenge our professionalisms and competences.

We have taken on new, exciting tasks and are therefore looking for competent colleagues who want to become part of an ambitious and strong professional community, across disciplines.

With us, structure and recognizability are essential to creating safety for the residents. At the same time, everyday life is often unpredictable and requires your professionalism, flexibility and ability to adapt your approach to the individual.

It is an advantage if you have experience with the target group or from working in a residential care home, but it is not a requirement. The most important thing is that you want to bring your professional expertise into play and help create a safe and meaningful everyday life for the residents.

If you can see yourself thriving in a complex task where your professionalism has great value for both residents and colleagues, maybe it’s you we need!

About the offering

The Unit for Special Measures in OVUS consists of the departments Tårnly, Tårnbo, Løvhøj and Kuben. In addition, a new building with two additional departments is planned.

The unit contains an individually protective intervention focusing on creating a daily life with structure, recognizability and continuity.

Together we solve one of the most specialized tasks in the social sector for residents with significant and complex support needs.

All residents have permanently reduced mental functioning, and several have a good language function. In addition, residents may have issues such as personality disorders and character deviations, substance abuse problems as well as outwardly reacting, self-harming or boundary-crossing behavior. Some residents may also have a treatment order or a placement order in a institution.

We offer a combined living and activity offering, where good staffing coverage and an individually tailored pedagogical approach form the basis of our work.

We focus on safety in our work and are currently in a process in collaboration with SIKK, where we sharpen safety and use risk assessments as a concrete tool in everyday life.

Your task

In daily work you will work closely with your colleagues to create a daily life for the residents that is both safe and developing. We work from a belief that people develop best through positive and affirming relationships.
