About the job

DAY SHIFT

At the upcoming health and care placements in Odense

Would you like to be part of a strong professional community, where you every day make a noticeable difference for people in vulnerable life situations?

We are looking for a social- and health assistant who is passionate about close citizen contact and about helping to develop future health offerings.

A workplace in development

We are today Odense Municipality's offer of temporary placements for citizens with complex health and rehabilitation journeys. Our task is to create the best possible framework for citizens' further progress through professional assessments, rehabilitation and close interdisciplinary collaboration.

Now we stand before a significant change, where the municipal placements transfer to regional health and care placements. This means that you get the opportunity to be involved from the very beginning, when new collaborations, workflows and professional solutions must be developed.

With us you don't just get a job. You get the opportunity to make your mark on the future health service.

What will you become part of?

With us we believe that quality is created in collaboration.

You will become part of a workplace where nurses, social- and health care assistants, therapists and management work closely together to create the best solutions for the citizens.

We value

  • High professionalism
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration
  • Rehabilitative approach
  • Professional development
  • Co-determination
  • A humorous and helpful everyday life

The day shift with us

As a day shift you are a central part of the citizens' rehabilitation journey and the interdisciplinary coordination around them. You will have a daily life with close citizen contact, professional assessments and collaboration with colleagues, doctors, therapists and external partners. You contribute to creating coherent and meaningful processes where citizens' resources and goals are in focus.

  • Observe, assess and act on changes in citizens' health status
  • Take care of basic nursing and care with focus on the citizen's resources, self-determination and rehabilitation
  • Perform and coordinate health professional interventions in complex citizen journeys
  • Contribute to investigation, clarification and rehabilitation
  • Create security for citizens and relatives
  • Administer medication and document in Nexus
  • Cooperate with doctors, therapists, hospitals and other partners
  • Active contribute to professional development and quality work
  • Support a rehabilitative and dignified citizen journey

•

We seek you, who

  • Is trained social- and health assistant
  • Has strong observation and assessment skills
  • Thrive in complex and changing processes
  • Can work independently and take professional responsibility
  • Sees possibilities rather than limitations
  • Has good collaboration skills and contributes positively to the community
  • Is curious about development and new solutions
  • Wants to be part of an organization in motion

Experience from rehabilitation, temporary placements, somatic or psychiatry is an advantage, but not a requirement.

Salary and employment terms

The position is initially 37 hours per week, but other hours can be agreed.

Until January 1, 2027 the work will primarily be day shifts. After the transition to the Region of Southern Denmark the position will be part of mixed shifts. Specific duty rosters are determined in the new organization.

As a rule, work every 3rd weekend.

The position is paid according to the applicable collective agreement. The expected salary level is stated before any interview and depends on experience and qualifications.
