Social worker for Local Psychiatry Esbjerg, General

We are seeking a social worker, who desires an exciting daily life with many contacts, tasks and a high degree of independence. In your role as a social worker you, together with the responsible treating chief physician, will be responsible for the treatment course for a group of patients.

You will meet a broad patient group including anxiety, depression, severe stress reactions, ADHD and personality disorders.

A number of our patients also have a substance use problem and thus a dual diagnosis. You will therefore also participate in pathways where close collaboration with both internal and external partners is a natural part of the task.

We are a multidisciplinary team, where high professionalism, development and a good working environment go hand in hand. We prioritize close collaboration, professional sparring and humor in daily life.

We believe that good treatment processes are created through strong relationships – both to the patients and to each other. With us we help each other, share knowledge and have room for both professional curiosity and a good laugh.

• is a trained social worker
• wants to work with both social-legal tasks and individual counseling pathways

• thrives in a close multidisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration
• has experience with documentation in electronic patient journal (EPJ)
• is comfortable with IT at user level
• actively contributes to a good collegial community

Experience from psychiatry is an advantage, but the most important is that you want to develop professionally and be an engaged part of our team.

We offer you

• You will have the opportunity to largely plan your working day
• A varied daily life including, among other things, triage interviews, individual counseling sessions, social-legal assessments, guidance and counseling, coordination with municipal and other partners, multidisciplinary conferences and treatment planning
