On Munkehatten, 1st floor, we are looking for a social- and health care assistant who wants to become part of a strong professional and collegial community.

Here the job is not only about care and practical tasks. It is about creating good everyday life, security, joy and presence for people who need support in their daily lives.

The residents are different people with different interests, wishes and dreams. Some enjoy activities, music and community, while others prefer calm and predictable surroundings. What they have in common is that they need employees who meet them with care, respect and a genuine wish to make a positive difference.

With us, social- and health care assistants, social- and health care aides, pedagogues, pedagogical assistants, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and care assistants work closely together. We believe that the best solutions are created in collaboration, and that we succeed best when we use each other’s professionalities.
