Social work professional sought for the Vikingevej Organization

Do you want to contribute to quality of life, self-determination and wellbeing? Are you passionate about professionalism, documentation and care in practice?

Then you are the one we are looking for at Organization Vikingevej

Who are we?

The residential facility Vikingevej is a long-term social-pedagogical 24/7 residential care home under the Social Services Act (§105/85) with awake night supervision.

The facility is located at Vikingevej 31 centrally in Nørresundby and comprises 21 apartments spread over two floors with good common areas and outdoor spaces.

We strive to create a safe and homely environment where residents have the opportunity to live as independently and meaningfully as possible.

The target group is adults with congenital or acquired brain injury and physical disabilities, often combined with cognitive challenges such as communication difficulties, memory problems and sensory difficulties.

Many need support for personal care, health-care tasks and daily functions.

Our work focuses on maintaining and developing functional capacity, strengthening self-determination and creating wellbeing in daily life – and here the social-pedagogical work plays a central role.

Through structured relationship work, motivation and involving residents' own resources, we create frameworks for development and coping. The social-pedagogical work helps ensure that the citizen experiences meaning, safety and participation in their own life, while we work purposefully with methods and documentation to support quality and progression of the effort.

Our professional approaches

We work goal-based with outcomes based on residents' needs and wishes. We focus on residents developing and maintaining their own skills and possibilities to manage things themselves. Residents’ physical functional level is highly individual, which means you must be able to act in many different situations. Some residents only require verbal guidance, while the majority require help with several care tasks as well as practical tasks in the home. This requires that you can take responsibility and adapt to different situations.

We work from a combination of

The neuro-disciplinary approach, which helps us understand residents' behavior, motivation and functional level. This means we translate neuro-disciplinary knowledge into concrete pedagogical strategies, analyze reaction patterns and adapt the environment, communication and activities so that everyday life becomes manageable and less burdensome. We work preventively by identifying triggers and creating structures that provide calm and predictability.

The recovery-oriented rehabilitation (ROR) is a fundamental part of our work and involves supporting residents in living a meaningful life with as much self-determination as possible. We do this through dialogue about wishes and goals, by involving the resident in decisions and by supporting them in achieving mastery through personal routines, structure and focus on resources rather than limitations.

Low Arousal (LA2 and LA2U) is our central method for preventing and managing problematic behavior in a non-confrontational way. We work with adjusted and respectful communication, conscious regulation of our own arousal level and a de-escalating approach in pressured situations where the relationship and the resident's needs are the focus.

In daily work at Vikingevej LA2U is integrated in the pedagogical and rehabilitative practice. We work purposefully with calm, demand adjustment and structure to prevent overstimulation, conflicts and ill-being.

The methods must be visible in both practice and documentation in CURA, where effort, method and goal are clearly communicated.
