Nurse for the specialized social sector – cross-functional role

Do you have a strong health-professional profile and a desire to work with both children and adults with special needs? Then read on.

Else Hus and Skelbakken are seeking a nurse who can supplement the current health-professional competencies.

Brief about us

Else Hus is an offer for housing and day care for adults with autism and mental retardation. Else Hus has 18 places supplemented by 3 solo projects.

Skelbakken is a housing and respite care facility located for children and young people with physical and mental developmental disabilities, supplemented with diagnoses such as epilepsy and autism spectrum-like disorders. Skelbakken has 20 stationary places as well as 8 respite care places.

Both facilities are located in Karlslunde and are part of the specialized social sector in Region Zealand.

Both Else Hus and Skelbakken each employ a nurse.

Your role

As a nurse you will, in collaboration with the current nurses, the pedagogical staff and management, ensure that the citizens are supported in relation to their health-care needs and goals. You must have a holistic perspective so that health-care – and pedagogical goals and development initiatives can be seen in context.

You will therefore have cross-functional tasks in collaboration with the current nurses and you will also have independent areas of responsibility.

The position

The position entails both general and specific nursing tasks, of which the following can be mentioned:

• General medication management in collaboration with employees responsible for medications
• Instrumental nursing care, e.g., as follow-up to admission and operation
• Implementation of health-care guidelines and directives
• Conducting and following up on health screenings based on the “12 nursing focus areas”
• Assist in contact with general practitioner, hospitals and other health-care partners
• Case management of adverse events and follow-up from a learning perspective

We expect that you

• Can handle tasks of both execution, guidance and development character
• Are curious and contemplative as a starting point to maintain health-care development and well-being
• Can communicate knowledge and observations both in writing and speech
• Are committed to engaging in an equal collaboration with colleagues, partners and parents / relatives
• As the “nurse on site” have a solid professional foundation that is daily brought into play in collaboration with the pedagogical staff.

You will become part of a local professional community with pedagogical staff with special health-area competencies. You will also be part of a regional health network with health-care staff from other social services.

Due to your education and experience you will find yourself involved in many different tasks, facing many questions and meeting engaged colleagues who want to use your knowledge and experience – knowledge that will be fundamental for you with a nursing background.

We offer a workplace

• With great commitment and ambitions to create the best possible life for the citizens
• A daily life with great variation in tasks and with the possibility to take health-care initiatives yourself
• Engaged and skilled colleagues who work together toward the common goals
• Where we do our best every day for children and young people and for each other.

Practical about the position

The position is 32 hours with a day and evening shift to ensure familiarity with all aspects.

You will have the opportunity to influence your own working hours with an expectation that you are flexible when a task calls for your presence.

Prior to employment, a public child- and criminal background check will be obtained.

Salary and terms of employment in accordance with the applicable collective agreement.

It is a condition for the position that you have a Class B driving license as travel to doctor and hospital can occur.
