Healthcare professional with a knack for building relationships sought for Gårdhaven

Would you like to help create a home – not just a care facility?

At Gårdhaven our primary task is to create a good home for the people who live with us.

A home is more than a building. It is a place where you feel safe, heard and respected. A place where you can be yourself, have influence on your own life and experience that your life matters. It requires presence, relationships and high professional standards – and it requires staff who see the person before the task.

Gårdhaven is in an exciting and positive development. We work purposefully to develop a care facility where people with complex psychological and social challenges can live a meaningful life with as much self-determination as possible.

Now we are seeking a health-professional employee who wants to help create the home.

As a health-professional employee with us you become an important part of the residents' everyday life. You must be able to bring your health-professional skills into play, while you see care, treatment and health as part of a bigger whole: the life of the person, relationships, wishes and hopes.

Who are we?

Gårdhaven is part of the Special Area for Social Psychiatry Adults and offers round-the-clock support to adults with complex psychological problems, dementia conditions and possibly substance abuse issues.

Residents have different lives, needs and dreams. Therefore our task is not to make everyone fit into the same everyday life. Our task is to create the framework where the individual can live their life on their own terms – with the support that is necessary.

It sets high demands on our professional competence. We work across disciplines and use each other’s different competencies, because residents' lives and needs cannot be divided by professional boundaries.

We are also in the process of developing our practice and our shared professional foundation. Therefore we are looking for a colleague who can stand strong in their own professionalism and who wants to learn, wonder, collaborate and contribute to our shared development.

We are looking for you who

• Is educated nurse, social- and health care assistant or has another relevant health-professional education.
• Has an eye for the connection between health-professional interventions and social-pedagogical support.
• Sees the person before the diagnosis and meets others with curiosity, respect and professional humility.
• Can look behind the behavior and be curious about the needs, experiences and life conditions that lie behind it.
• Thrives in working with people who may have difficulty trusting others.
• Can stay calm and act professionally in complex situations.
• Wants to use your professional skills close to the residents’ everyday life – also when it concerns the small things that make a home feel like a home.
• Wants to develop professionally and actively contribute to the community at the workplace.

With us you get

• Opportunity to help develop Gårdhaven from a care facility to a home with high professional standards, quality of life and autonomy .
• A workplace in positive development where you can influence the direction.
• Skilled and engaged colleagues with different professional backgrounds.
• A strong focus on cross-disciplinary collaboration, where different professionalities are an asset.
• Thorough introduction, training and ongoing sparring.
• Opportunity for competence development through courses, our own education “Fundament” and internal professional development.
• A workplace where we believe that the best results are created through relationships, professionalism and collaboration.

We believe that a good home requires high professionalism

Living at Gårdhaven should not be the same as being in an institution.

The residents should be able to experience Gårdhaven as their home – a place where they belong, are seen, heard and met, and where they have influence over their own life.

That does not mean that we should be less professional. On the contrary.

When people have complex psychological, social and health challenges, it requires high professionalism to create a home where the individual can live life on their own terms. We must be able to understand what lies behind the behavior, act professionally on complex problems and at the same time be present people in the residents’ daily life.

We believe that people are more than their diagnoses. All people have resources, dreams and wishes for their lives – even when they need extensive support.

As an employee at Gårdhaven you are therefore not just helping to solve a task. You are helping to create the place where another person lives and leads their life.

Can you see yourself in our view of people and would you like to use your professional skills to create a home with quality of life, self-determination and high professional quality, then we look forward to hearing from you.
