Social and healthcare assistants wanted for 24-hour rehabilitation – Herning, at Regionshospitalet Hammel Neurocenter

Be part of a specialized and interdisciplinary team! Do you want to make a real difference for people with acquired brain injury? Do you want to work with rehabilitation at a specialized level, close interdisciplinary collaboration and a daily life where professionalism, structure and relationships go hand in hand? Then you might be the one we are looking for.

Be part of an important professional journey

We are seeking social and health care assistants for permanent positions in specialized level rehabilitation physically located in Herning on Bytoften. The positions are available to be filled from January 1, 2027 or by agreement.

We are in the middle of an exciting development. According to the Health Reform, the specialized area is transferred from the municipality to the region as of January 1, 2027. This means you will become part of an organization in change – with the opportunity to shape your professional imprint, contribute to the development of specialized neurorehabilitation and be part of an important journey for citizens, employees and partners.

Who are we?

We work with citizens after discharge from hospital stay, where the length of stay depends on the individual citizen's development potential – typically a three-month course. In rehabilitation, we work toward the individual citizen becoming active and participating in their future life based on their own resources, wishes and needs, and in close collaboration with relatives.

What sets us apart from many other workplaces is our longer patient pathways. We become part of the citizens' lives over weeks and months, and this gives us the opportunity to work deeply and holistically – not only with the injury but with the whole person and the life the citizen will return to.

You will become part of a dynamic, engaged and interdisciplinary team consisting of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, nurses, social- and health care assistants, neuropsychologist, speech therapist and chief physician. We work targeted and specialized with rehabilitation plans for the individual citizen.

The position and your tasks

These are permanent full-time positions. You will join a shift system, as the unit is 24/7 covered. The work includes shifts at different times of the day as well as weekend work. We have two shifts, and have the possibility for individual considerations, as we work with wish plans. The concrete scope will be agreed closer and planned in the shift schedule.

You can expect the following tasks

• Specialized neurorehabilitation nursing and support for a rehabilitative approach in daily work with citizens.
• Collaboration with citizens, relatives, doctors, hospitals and municipal partners.
• Contribute to interdisciplinary rehabilitation plans and targeted interventions.
• Documentation, status descriptions and professional dissemination.

About you

We are looking for you who

• Are professionally engaged, curious and want to work with people with acquired brain injury and complex issues in a rehabilitative everyday life.
• Are interested in, and preferably have experience with, neurorehabilitation and complex pathways.
• See neuro-pedagogical strategies as a natural part of the task.
• Have good collaboration skills, thrive in teamwork, seek sparring and value interdisciplinary collaboration.
• Are proactive and capable of planning and prioritizing your own tasks independently.
• Communicate and convey clearly both verbally and in writing and thrive in collaboration with citizens and relatives.
• Move effortlessly between monodisciplinary and interdisciplinary tasks, also when everyday life requires quick changes. At the same time you actively contribute to a good working environment together with your interdisciplinary colleagues.

It is an advantage if you have a driver's license, but not a requirement, as rehabilitation for some citizens will also take place in the citizen's own home.

What can you expect?

With us you enter a workplace where professionalism and human closeness go hand in hand. We offer:

• A close interdisciplinary collaboration with the citizen at the center and the opportunity to closely follow the citizen's development.
• A thorough induction process with professional guidance, supervision and competency development in relevant tasks.
• A varied everyday life with professional challenges and focus on quality and evidence-based practice.
• A good working environment with psychological safety, engaged colleagues, good humor and room for togetherness.

Do you want to help set the standard for specialized neurorehabilitation? Then we look forward to hearing from you.
