About the job

Start date January 1, 2027

In connection with the implementation of the Health Reform, Svendebjerghave will be organizationally divided into a municipal and a regional department for 3 years as of January 1, 2027.

Svendebjerghaves Municipal Temporary 24-hour Placements will become a satellite department to the nursing home Krogstenshave.

The municipal department will consist of The Municipal Temporary 24-hour Placements with room for 12 residents.

The target group are citizens with a need for a time-limited stay, where care, rehabilitation, and/or respite care plus support are targeted to create the best possible conditions for the citizen's further progress.

We are seeking a dedicated and professionally strong Social – and Health Care Assistant, who in close collaboration with colleagues will help develop our new department.

The position is 28 hours per week in the evening shift, with weekend shifts on alternating weeks.

At our temporary 24-hour placements we meet people who are in the middle of a change. Some are on their way home after a hospitalization. Others need clarification, rehabilitation, care, support and a plan for everyday life.

Common to them is that they do not just need a hand to help. They need you, the person behind the need.

Here you will be an important part of everyday life

As a Social- and Health Care Assistant with us you will have a daily life where your professionalism comes into play. You observe, assess and act. You collaborate with other SSAs, nurses, therapists, doctors, case managers and colleagues across.

You speak with the resident and relatives and you help create the coherent thread when a person moves from one situation to another.

It requires professionalism – but also curiosity, calm and the ability to see possibilities when things do not go exactly as planned.

We are looking for you who

  • Is educated as a social- and health care assistant
  • Likes taking responsibility and using your professional skills actively
  • Is good at observing and reacting to changes in the resident's condition
  • Can create security – also when the situation is unpredictable
  • Thrives with interdisciplinary collaboration
  • Wants to learn and develop
  • Can work independently as well as be a good colleague
  • Knows that good care and high professionalism can go hand in hand.

What do you get with us?

You will get a workplace that allows for professionalism and development.

You will have the opportunity to work with different citizen journeys and develop your competencies.

You will have the opportunity to help establish our new department, with our 12 municipal temporary 24-hour placements.

And most importantly you will have colleagues who know that success comes best when you help each other.

We believe that job satisfaction and professionalism go hand in hand. Therefore we want you to leave work feeling that you have made a difference – with a smile on the way.

Perhaps it is you we are looking for?

If you can recognise yourself in what you have read, we would love to hear from you.

You are also very welcome to drop by for a coffee and take a look at our 24-hour placements, and perhaps meet some of your new colleagues and get a feel for who we are.

We look forward to meeting you.

Application deadline is 13/11-2026

If you have questions about the position, you are welcome to contact department head Anette Agger at 51587657
