About us

Fælleshåb is part of the Center for Specialized Interventions Fælleshåb, in Middelfart Municipality. In accordance with the Public Housing Act § 105 and the Social Services Act § 85, Fælleshåb is a residential facility for adults over 18 years and addresses citizens who, due to brain injuries, need special support in daily life.

There are 32 residences, where residents live lively and resourceful lives, which you together with your colleagues will support and guide in daily life, and where everyone handles tasks such as living skills training and self-care. Some residents have dual diagnoses and are followed in close collaboration with psychiatrists. Fælleshåb is located on the west Funen about 8 km outside Middelfart, close to nature and with short distances to forest and beach.

Our purpose is to provide a holistic and rehabilitative approach tailored to each resident’s wishes and needs. The staff group consists of pedagogues, care assistants, social- and health assistants, occupational therapists, social- and health workers and nurses.

As a health professional at Fælleshåb, your tasks will be an exciting and versatile combination of health-care and pedagogical tasks. It is therefore important that you find the pedagogical tasks as meaningful as the health-care tasks, as the pedagogical tasks will be a just as large part of your workday as the health-care tasks.

The health-care tasks will include, among others

• Medication management, including medication dispensing and updating FMK.
• Create and update residents’ conditions and action instructions. We use Nexus as our documentation system.
• Different interventions such as wound care, one-time catheterization, TOP-catheter care, etc.
• Contact with, and participation in meetings with, general practitioners, neurologists and psychiatrists.
• Ensure the use of evidence-based clinical guidelines, based on VAR Healthcare.
• Early Detection of Emerging Disease (TOBS).
• Competence training of colleagues.
• Daily sparring with colleagues about the residents.

The pedagogical tasks include, among others

• Living skills training in residents’ homes, e.g. support with tidying and finances.
• Actively working with residents’ personal goals, such as support to participate in social communities.
• Well‑being conversations with residents.
• Accompaniment to, for example, doctor, dentist and shopping.

In addition, a number of residents need verbal and/or physical support for personal care. This is a task we all undertake, as it contributes to our wish to work in a holistic way.

We are looking for a colleague who

• Is educated as a social- and health assistant
• Can see themselves in the above health-care and pedagogical tasks.
• Is appreciative, curious and patient, and eager to work with the target group.
• Is passionate about contributing to a good working environment.
• Can see the value of interdisciplinary collaboration.

In return you will receive

• Time to perform your tasks. We have coordination meetings every morning and afternoon where today’s tasks are planned and distributed.
• A group of engaged colleagues who look forward to welcoming you.
• A workplace where there is room for laughter and where the atmosphere is informal.
• Visible and approachable leadership, where you can always get sparring.
• A daily life where we help each other and where we place a strong focus on each other’s well-being.
• Opportunity for health-care sparring with the nurse and social- and health care assistants employed at Fælleshåb. You will also have the opportunity to contact health professionals at another residence, as well as the municipality’s on-call nurse.
• A work life where you can use your health-care, pedagogical and personal competencies, and where your colleagues are always available for sparring.
• Mentalization training in collaboration with all the municipality’s employees, which runs in autumn 2026 and spring 2027. The Competence Strategy for Fælleshåb should contribute to both the individual employee’s development and the residents’ development by supporting the solution of core tasks in the social and welfare area.
