Night shifts for the residential facility Granmosevej in Kjellerup

Do you want to help create safe and meaningful nights for adults with different support needs – and become part of a night shift team where professionalism, collaboration and care go hand in hand?

At Granmosevej in Kjellerup we have opened a new and modern residential offer with 23 apartments in accordance with the Social Services Act §§ 107 and 108. More citizens are on their way in, and we are therefore looking for two new night shift workers with start on March 1, 2027.

As a night shift worker you will be part of a unified night shift team, where you work with different citizen groups and support needs. The work includes both ordinary night shift tasks in the residential facility and tasks in our specially specialised initiative, where there is 1:1 staffing around a citizen with extensive support needs.

We emphasize that you can work independently, take responsibility for your duties and engage in close cooperation with your night shift colleagues.

Granmosevej

Granmosevej is a new and modern home and day care facility with green and open surroundings. Here we create the framework for a safe, developing and meaningful everyday life for adults with permanent physical and/or mental functional impairments.

We work from an appreciative and recovery-oriented approach – The Citizen at the helm – where the citizen’s own wishes, hopes and dreams are the focal point.

In the Social Department in Silkeborg Municipality we work according to the vision: “Together for an independent and meaningful everyday life.”

We believe that high professional quality and well-being go hand in hand, and that we succeed best when we help each other, share our knowledge and take joint responsibility for the core task.

About the night shift work

As a night shift you have an important task of ensuring that the citizens experience safety, calm and continuity through the night.

You will meet citizens with different support needs. Some primarily need help with ordinary nightly needs, personal care, toilet visits and morning routines, while others require a more comprehensive and specialized effort.

Part of the work will be connected to our specially specialized initiative, where there is 1:1 staffing around a citizen with extensive support needs. The citizen does not have verbal language, has low cognitive functioning and can in stressful situations respond with self-harming or outwardly reactive behavior.

Here we work purposefully with Low Arousal, structure pedagogy and a milieu-therapeutic focus. It requires that the employees can read the citizen’s signals, work preventively and maintain calm – even when situations become complex.

You will become part of a night shift team where there are always several night shift workers on duty at the same time. It provides opportunities for both independent tasks and professional sparring as well as help and support across, when needed.

Therefore, we expect you to be flexible and willing to work across the facility and contribute to ensuring that all citizens receive the necessary support through the night.

Your tasks will include

• Creating calm, safety and predictability for the citizens through the night.
• Supporting citizens in finding rest and sleeping based on their individual needs and circadian plans.
• Helping with toilet visits, personal hygiene and other care tasks.
• Supporting citizens with morning routines and the handover to day staff.
• Taking on independent 1:1 tasks around citizens with particularly extensive support needs.
• Working in a structured way based on Low Arousal, KRAP and common pedagogical strategies.
• Observing and reading the citizens’ signals and responding appropriately to changes in behavior and well-being.
• Preventing and handling situations with unrest, self-harm or outwardly reactive behavior.
• Being able to help and participate in tasks across the facility when needed.
• Handling documentation, observations and professional handover to colleagues.
• Contributing to practical tasks and smooth handovers between evening, night and morning staff.

Who are you?

You are educated as a social educator, social and health care assistant, nurse, occupational therapist or hold another relevant social- or healthcare-related education. We are also open to applicants with relevant experience as care or pedagogical assistants.

It is an advantage if you have experience working with people with developmental disabilities, physical and/or mental functional impairments or complex support needs.

We are looking for staff who thrive working at night, can take responsibility for independent tasks and at the same time want to be an active part of a committed work community.

We would like you to be

• Interested in working with adults with various functional impairments and support needs.
• Understanding the importance of structure, recognizability and clear frameworks.
• Able to stay calm and act professionally in stressful situations.
• With good observation skills and the ability to translate professional reflections into practice.
• Capable of working independently and maintaining an overview.
• With good communication skills – both verbally and in writing.
• Flexible and willing to work across different citizen groups and support needs.
• Initiative-taking, curious and collaborative.
