Social work professionals sought for the Social Network's § 85 interventions

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

SocialNetværket continues to experience growth and is therefore seeking engaged social care professionals for our housing support interventions under the Danish Social Services Act, section 85. The interventions are delivered in the citizens' own homes and are based on the individual 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, social or cognitive challenges, and the level of support varies from person to person.

Your tasks may include

• Social-pedagogical support, guidance and structuring in daily life
• Support to develop or maintain the citizen's skills and coping abilities
• Relationship work and motivational conversations
• Support for contact with authorities, the health service and other partners
• Preparation of professional documentation based on orders, objective measures 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 matter of ordinary practical assistance or personal care under the Social Services Act, section 83.

Our professional approach

In SocialNetværket we work relationally, rehabilitatively 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, among other things, with

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

We emphasize continuity and, as a starting point, work with small, stable teams around the individual citizen. This creates familiarity, safety and good conditions for relational work.

We are looking for someone who

• Has a relevant social-care education, for example as an educator/pedagogue, social worker or occupational therapist
• Preferably has 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
• Is professionally reflective and can translate objectives into concrete pedagogical practice
• Can document accurately, respectfully and professionally
• Works in compliance with the law and can keep focus on the purpose of the allocated intervention
• Is flexible and willing to have work hours at various times
• Has a driving license and the possibility to use their own car in the job

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

We offer

• A position of 30–37 hours per week
• An independent and meaningful role 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.
