Social work professionals sought for SocialNetværket's § 85 interventions

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

SocialNetværket continues to experience growth and is therefore seeking engaged social-professional staff for our housing support initiatives under the Danish Social Services Act, Section 85. The initiatives are delivered in the citizens' own homes and are based on each citizen's needs, resources and goals.

About the work

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

Your tasks may include, among others

• Social-pedagogical support, guidance and structure in everyday life
• Support to develop or maintain the citizen's skills and sense of mastery
• Relational work and motivational conversations
• Support for contact with authorities, the health sector and other partners
• Preparation of professional documentation based on the order, target outcomes and sub-goals
• Close collaboration with colleagues, coordinators and municipal authorities

The work has a clear social-pedagogical and development-oriented purpose. It is therefore not a case of ordinary practical help or personal care under the Social Services Act, Section 83.

Our professional approach

In SocialNetværket we work relation-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 others

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

We place emphasis on continuity and work, as a starting point, with smaller, stable teams around the individual citizen. This creates recognizability, security and good conditions for relational work.

We are looking for you who

• Have a relevant social professional education, for example as a pedagogue, social worker or occupational therapist
• Preferably have experience with adults in vulnerable positions or with mental health and social challenges
• Can work independently and at the same time be loyal and constructive in a team
• Are professionally reflective and can translate target outcomes into concrete pedagogical practice
• Can document accurately, respectfully and professionally
• Work in accordance with the law and can maintain focus on the purpose of the referred intervention
• Are flexible and willing to work different times
• Have a driver's license and the possibility to use your 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
• Independent and meaningful work 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 staff and citizens based on professional competences, experience, geography and personality.
