Short about Botilbuddet H. C. Branners Vej

We are a residential facility that supports the Social Services Act §§ 107 and 108. We also provide support under §85 and §82 for a locationless initiative for residents with eating disorders.

The residential facility is part of the Social-, Psychiatry- and Substance Abuse Section in the Social Department. In the department, a holistic approach for the citizens, as well as cohesion, are highly prioritized core values and objectives

At Botilbuddet H. C. Branners Vej, 34 citizens aged 18-40 live with mental vulnerability. The citizens require support to manage a daily life with, for example, schizophrenia, personality disorder, depression, anxiety and/or eating disorder.

The target group is characterized by mental and social vulnerabilities and a level of functioning where there is a need for support in general daily skills.

The citizens are supported in living a life that resembles others in the same age group, and where the environment should support the possibilities to work towards a more independent life.

We place emphasis on the citizens having something meaningful to get up for and therefore collaborate closely with the Job Center, uu-guides and employment offers.

To support the rehabilitation process at Botilbuddet H. C. Branners Vej, we are seeking a staff member who is keen to work with cognitive methods, risk assessments, quality standards, NADA (ear acupuncture) and functional assessments such as a sensory profile.

In the rehabilitative work, we place a high value on dialogue and collaboration. Therefore, professional competence, collaboration and dialogue must be core competencies for our new colleagues, both in relation to residents, relatives, networks, colleagues and partners.
