Maternity leave cover 37 hours - contact person at a social-psychiatric residence

The Parkvænget residential facility is seeking a contact person for a maternity leave replacement

If you are trained as a social and health care assistant, pedagogue, nurse or occupational therapist, you will be part of a professionally skilled team with 8 colleagues with different professional educations, where interdisciplinarity and warmth go hand in hand, so you might be the contact person we are looking for?

At Parkvænget we believe that personal and social recovery is possible through meaningful participation in everyday life on one's own terms. We offer a wide range of recovery-supportive activities and meaningful employment, so that people's well-being, mastery and development are placed at the center.

We are seeking a contact person for 37 hours per week, with rotating day and evening shifts and working every third weekend. At Parkvænget there is flexibility and influence over your working hours, so you get a good balance between work and leisure.

Parkvænget is a long-term §108 and temporary §107 social-psychiatric residential facility in Glostrup. Here we create a safe home for 58 adults with mental health challenges. We work from a rehabilitative approach with focus on the individual person's dreams and goals – here we look at people's resources rather than their limitations. We are 70 permanent staff and 4 managers, who form a leadership team with the director. As a contact person you report to the department head and the unit's clinical coordinator.

Your closest colleagues are the staff on your unit – but you should expect that all 9 teams work closely together around the core task. Therefore you are considered an employee at Parkvænget and it is expected that you can work on all 4 units, and primarily be attached to a unit with contact residents.

You are therefore responsible for the following as a contact person

Documentation of residents' goal-oriented efforts and sub-goals

Documentation of health-professional services and interventions

Housing support including ADL training and practical help

Support for mastering social skills
