Healthcare professional sought for new residential care facility in Solrød Municipality

Do you want to help create a new residential facility and put your mark on professionalism, culture and workflows from the very start?

Do you have a health-related education and a desire to combine your expertise with relational work and support for people with mental and social challenges?

Then you may be our new health-focused employee at Solbækken.

We are looking for one health-professionally trained employee for a permanent full-time position in our new residential facility under the Social Services Act §§ 107 and 108.

Be part of creating Solbækken

Solbækken is a new residential facility with four places for adults with mental health difficulties, psychological vulnerability, social hardship and reduced everyday functioning. The citizens have a need for a stable living arrangement and a coherent effort that is more comprehensive than the support that can be offered in their own home.

You will become part of the team that will build Solbækken and create a safe and meaningful everyday life for the citizens. At the same time, you will have a special role in strengthening the health-professional perspective and developing safe and clear workflows in the area.

An interdisciplinary everyday life close to the citizens

The citizens may, among other things, have difficulties structuring daily life, maintaining housing, entering relationships and taking care of their own health. Some may also have mild cognitive impairments, problematic use of substances or hoarding behavior.

Solbækken is not a treatment or addiction facility, but we collaborate with general practitioners, treatment psychiatry and other relevant health and treatment services.

You will participate in daily support on equal terms with your colleagues, but also contribute with your special health-professional knowledge. The work is based on the citizen's own hopes, wishes, resources and goals.

Your main tasks will be to

• Support the citizens in taking care of their physical and mental health.
• Observe and respond professionally to changes in the citizens' health, well-being and functional level.
• Manage and support safe medication handling.
• Coordinate and collaborate with doctors, treatment psychiatry and other health professionals.
• Contribute to health-professional assessments, documentation and development of workflows.
• Be a sparring partner for colleagues and strengthen health-professional awareness in the team.
• Build stable relationships and support the citizens' structure, everyday functioning and independence.

Our professional foundation

At Solbækken we work in a recovery-oriented, rehabilitative and relationship-based manner. We meet the citizen as a person with their own experiences, resources and possibilities and emphasize safety, continuity and influence on their own life.

We work among other things with Motivational Interviewing, social skills training, harm reduction and support for hoarding behavior. As a health-professional employee, you should be able to bring your own professional expertise into play within this common approach.

Who are you?

We imagine that you

• Are educated as a nurse, social- and health assistant, or have another relevant health-professional education.
• Have experience with or an interest in social psychiatry and working with people in vulnerable positions.
• Have a secure health-professional perspective and can respond calmly and professionally to changes in the citizens' condition.
• Are clear, relationship-building and can support without taking over responsibility from the citizen.
• Can work independently and at the same time contribute actively to the interdisciplinary community.
• Are eager to help develop a new offer and build its health-professional practice.

It is an advantage if you have experience with medication management, psychiatry, dual diagnoses, recovery-oriented rehabilitation or KMD Nexus.
