Make a difference while others sleep – we are seeking a social- or health-care professional for an awake night shift

Small moments. Great significance. Also at night.

As the employee we hired in the last posting in August has chosen to switch to the evening shift, we are now looking again for a skilled and engaged night shift guard for our team.

Would you like to help create a dignified, meaningful and as independent a life as possible for people with severe brain injury and other complex functional impairments?

Then it might be you we are looking for.

We are seeking an employee for a permanent position as a awake night guard in a 7/7 arrangement at our group home. With us, the night is much more than supervision. The night is about creating calm, safety and care for people who need support around the clock.

About us

We are a social-pedagogical group home with dedicated staff and a strong professional foundation. Here, people with different needs and life histories live. The common factor is that they need support, structure, safety and meaningful relationships in daily life.

We work in smaller teams where we get close to the residents and have the opportunity to make a real difference every single day.

Our everyday life is characterized by

• Presence and strong relationships
• Professional reflection and sparring
• Humor, community and respect

We work from Nordfyn Municipality's values of propriety, trustworthiness, openness and visibility in encounters with citizens, relatives and colleagues.

About the job

As a night guard, you are an important part of the residents' safety and well-being through the night.

You work independently in the house and are responsible for the professional efforts of the night shift. Even though you work alone, you are not alone. You have a night guard colleague in the adjacent department with whom you can spar and call upon if needed.

The night shift consists of both care, nursing and health tasks as well as a number of practical tasks that help ensure good conditions for the residents' daily lives. Therefore, it is important that you enjoy working independently and can create structure in your workday.

Personal care is a significant part of the work

It is important to us to be clear that personal care constitutes a significant part of the job.

We therefore seek an employee who is comfortable with care tasks and sees them as a natural and meaningful part of the work. With us, care is not just a practical task. It is also an opportunity to build relationships, safety, quality of life and dignity for the individual resident.

Your tasks may include, among others

• Supervision, support and care through the night
• Personal care and transfers
• Enteral feeding in the early morning hours
• Emptying catheter bags and other health- and care-related tasks during the night
• Observation and follow-up on residents' well-being and health status
• Medication management
• Documentation
• Laundry and handling of residents' clothing
• Light cleaning tasks and other practical tasks in the house
• Preparation of morning routines and support for the transition to the day shift
• Collaboration and knowledge transfer to day staff
• Handling acute situations with calm, overview and professional competence

You must be able to work independently, make professional decisions and remain calm in unforeseen situations. At the same time, you are an important part of the overall multidisciplinary team around the residents.

Our professional approach

With us, the relationship is always at the center.

We work with a neuropedagogical, acknowledging and rehabilitative approach, where we draw on the individual person's resources, wishes and life story.

We know that our residents have lived a life before their impairment. Therefore, we actively work with their history, experiences and identity to create meaning, coherence and quality of life in daily life.

We emphasize

• Trust and transparency
• Recognition and respect
• Close cooperation and shared responsibility
• Professional development and reflection

Who are you?

You have a social or health professional background, for example as

• Social and health assistant
• Social and health helper
• Pedagogue
• PAU
• Nurse

We imagine that you

• feel drawn to working with people in a vulnerable life situation
• thrive with personal care as a significant part of the workday
• can work independently and maintain an overview
• are responsible and stable
• have strong relational skills
• are curious about professional development
• contribute positively to the community

Both newly graduates and experienced applicants are very welcome.

What can you expect from us?

We know that skilled staff create the best framework for the residents. Therefore we invest in both professionalism and community.

With us you get

• Thorough introduction and training
• A strong collegial community with room for both professionalism and humor
• Ongoing professional sparring
• The night guard can join supervision focusing on resident cases if the plan allows
• An attractive health scheme

We also prioritize the small things in daily life that strengthen community and job satisfaction. It could be cake at meetings or other cozy touches in everyday life.
