Social work professionals sought for SocialNetværket's § 85 interventions

Are you passionate about relationship-based work, professional development and helping people to master their own lives? Then perhaps you are the one we are looking for.

SocialNetværket continues to grow and is therefore seeking engaged social-work professionals for our residential support initiatives under the Social Services Act § 85. The interventions are delivered in the citizens' own homes and are based on each citizen's needs, resources and goals.

About the job

As an employee you will be part of individually tailored social-pedagogical interventions for adults in vulnerable positions. Citizens may have mental, social or cognitive challenges, and the level of support varies from person to person.

Your tasks can include

• Social-pedagogical support, guidance and structuring in everyday life
• Support to develop or maintain the citizen's skills and coping abilities
• Relationship work and motivational conversations
• Support to contact authorities, health services and other partners
• Preparation of professional documentation based on referrals, goals and sub-goals
• Close collaboration with colleagues, coordinators and municipal authorities

The work has a clear social-pedagogical and development-oriented purpose. There is therefore no question of general practical help or personal care under § 83.

Our professional approach

In SocialNetværket we work relationship-based, rehabilitative and resource-oriented. Our interventions always start from the individual citizen's prerequisites and the goals agreed with the authorities.

Depending on the citizen's needs we work with, among other things

• Mentalization
• Motivational interviewing – MI
• Low arousal and conflict de-escalation
• Recovery and rehabilitation
• Structured-pedagogical and cognitive methods

We place emphasis on continuity and, as a rule, work with small, stable teams around the individual citizen. This creates recognition, security and good conditions for the relational work.

We are looking for you if you

• Have a relevant social education, for example as a pedagogue, social worker or occupational therapist
• Preferably have experience with adults in vulnerable positions or with mental and social challenges
• Can work independently and at the same time engage loyally and constructively in a team
• Are professionally reflective and can translate intervention goals into concrete pedagogical practice
• Can document precisely, respectfully and professionally
• Work in compliance with the law and can stay focused on the purpose of the commissioned intervention
• Are flexible and prepared for working hours that may be at different times
• Have a driver's license and the possibility to use their own car in the job

It is important that you can remain calm in complex situations, be curious about the citizen's perspective and create a professional relationship with clear boundaries.

We offer

• A position of 30–37 hours per week
• An independent and meaningful job with the opportunity to make a concrete difference
• Introduction to the citizens and the individual interventions
• Close professional sparring with colleagues, coordinators and management
• A work community characterized by high professionalism, flexibility and responsibility
• Opportunity for professional and personal development
• An organization in growth, where there is a short path from idea to action

SocialNetværket delivers specialized social-pedagogical interventions across Funen and Jutland. We match employees and citizens based on professional competencies, experience, geography and personality.
