Social pedagogues for Jacob Michaelsens Minde

Repost

Do you want to make a real difference for young people with complex psychiatric challenges?

Then perhaps you are the one we need on the team. We are looking for several pedagogues for our team who can create safety, build strong relationships and at the same time keep to the professional direction – even when days become complex.

A place worth driving to

Jacob Michaelsens Minde is located in beautiful and scenic surroundings in Skodsborg close to the Øresund, with both beach and forest nearby. Here you get a workplace in calm surroundings where there is room for presence, relationships and professional deepening. There are good transport possibilities, and the station is only about 1 km from the institution. Therefore we also address you who live in or around Helsingør, Hillerød and the rest of North Zealand and would like to use your professional skills somewhere where relationships, treatment and development go hand in hand.

Your everyday life with us

With us live youths between 13 and 18 years old with complex psychosocial and psychiatric difficulties. They have diagnoses within the autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions, affective disorders and eating disorders – often with several issues at the same time. They are cognitively within the normal range, but need adults who can be calm, clear and relationally strong. At the same time you meet youths who are kind, happy and cooperative, and who are happy to live with us.

It provides a good starting point for the pedagogical work and for creating a positive change in the youths’ lives.

Your most important task is not to have all the answers. It is to be curious about the youth, understand what lies behind the behavior and together with your colleagues translate it into a professionally well-thought-out intervention. You will become an important part of the development that helps the youths to greater well-being, independence and quality of life.

You will among other things

• create safe relationships and support the youths in achieving greater well-being and independence
• actively involve the youth in their own treatment process and collaborate closely with parents, family and network
• work with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive milieu therapy and Low Arousal
• support the youths’ ability to think more nuanced and realistically
• analyze the youth’s needs together with the team and be persistent in the agreed professional strategy
• work closely with pedagogues, psychologists, health professionals and other professions.

We are looking for someone who

• is trained as a pedagogue or has another relevant professional background
• has experience with or genuine interest in youths with complex issues
• is strong in the relationship – also when the youth reacts strongly or withdraws
• can keep calm, think professionally and work systematically when situations become complex
• wants professional sparring, supervision and ongoing competence development
• can translate observations and professional knowledge into a concrete and persistent effort
• has a driving license and is willing to drive during working hours.

What you get with us

• a thorough introduction and mentor program
• external supervision, treatment-related sparring and access to an internal psychologist
• opportunity for further education, including as a pedagogue or in cognitive behavioral therapy
• training in the Domus journal system and use of VR in treatment work
• a strong professional profile and an informal workplace with humor
• opportunity to influence the development of our professional practice
• a daily life where you are professionally challenged and have the opportunity to make a noticeable difference.
