About Rehabilitation and Supported Housing

In Rehabilitation and Supported Housing we work with Recovery‑oriented Rehabilitation as the common professional reference framework. This means that as a supported housing worker you will join a multidisciplinary team collaboration, with a focus on developing rehabilitation processes in close cooperation with citizens and their networks. The target group in supported housing and rehabilitation are citizens who have been granted a disability pension and who have mental illnesses and/or complex social problems.

As supported housing the tasks range from supporting citizens in developing personal skills, developing/maintaining social networks, support for greater independence and participation in everyday life, motivating and providing support for practical tasks and coordination with networks and other professionals. The goal is set together with the citizen, but the focus will always be to support the citizen to as independent a life as possible.

Rehabilitation and Supported Housing consists of 44 employees, distributed in 3 teams at different addresses in Odense. We solve the core task in-house and across teams, and we are highly committed to assembling the best team of professionals in collaboration with and for the citizen, to quality-assure the professional effort, to be innovative, open and curious regarding new initiatives and professional methods, and to support each other in the tasks and challenges that employees encounter daily.

In addition, we naturally have close cooperation with external actors in the citizen's life, such as the psychiatric department, addiction treatment or others.

Working hours will primarily be daytime.

Currently we are seeking 2 supported housing workers – 1 permanent position and a 12-month contract.
