About our workplace – The Night Group

Our staff group consists of skilled social and health care helpers, social and

health care assistants, pedagogues and pedagogical assistants, who each night do their best to create a safe and professional environment for the citizens either in their own homes, or at the various nursing homes in Odense Municipality. The working areas are many and the tasks often complex, which is why each night provides new exciting challenges and opportunities to develop.

Complex citizen cases and rehabilitation in focus

We cover the entire Odense Municipality. In our work, we meet many different citizens of all ages with different diagnoses and life circumstances. It gives an exciting and varied daily life with full speed and many new tasks and issues that must be handled daily. We never know how the night has been until we close the door after the completed shift.

Lofty ambitions, high professionalism and good collegiality

We are a friendly, social and close-knit staff and leadership group with a strong focus on professionalism, responsibility and trust in each other. The latter is especially important, as the night shift tasks are often autonomous and therefore require proactive employees who rely on their own professional competence. However, there is always an opportunity to receive good professional sparring with your colleagues or the coordinator of the respective night shift, so help is always just a phone call away if you do not have nearby colleagues in the house.

The good camaraderie is extremely important to us in the Night Group, and we try, if possible, to meet for various events and activities. We likewise try to fill everyday life with humor, good vibes and care for each other, which we hope you will also prioritize as part of our team.
