About the job

Do you dream of a everyday life as a mobile social- and health care assistant, characterized by independence, flexibility and influence over your own working hours, and would you like to be part of self-organizing teams where we work together to give our citizens the best care? Then we may be looking for you.

Due to busy times, Svane Pleje is currently seeking a social and health care assistant as an awake night shift for home care in our department in Odense. Your working hours are generally between 23:00 and 07:00.

We have in recent times begun a culture-building process, where participation in teams and planned time for collegial sparring is one of the daily activities that we want everyone to take part in and be responsible for – and through this you will be able to shape the department with your initiatives in the startup of this.

We are looking for a colleague who can work independently, take responsibility and provide the best care to our citizens at night. We offer a permanent position as awake night shift. We envision you to work with fixed shifts in a 7/7 rotation with start time 23:00 to 07:00. The work primarily consists of care and practical assistance to our citizens.

As night shift you will, in overlap with the evening shift and together with your night colleague, help our citizens with what they need. It will be you who supports them in living the life they want and the care and assistance they need – and you will always have a nurse and your colleagues behind you.

The tasks are diverse, but can be summarized as

  • Basic nursing and care tasks
  • Practical and personal care of the citizen, supporting the citizen in maintaining their dignity and creating joy of life
  • Observation of the citizens with a view to early detection of illness with the aim of reporting it to our partners in the respective municipality
  • Collaboration with citizens, colleagues and external municipal partners
  • Documentation in the care system KMD-Nexus

You will become part of a team of aides and replacements in overlap with the evening and day shifts. We work value-based and are motivated by inclusion and influence. With the citizen at the center, we focus on giving the individual citizen the opportunity to live a dignified life with well-being and joy of life.

Do you want to join the team?

We are looking for you who are trained as a social- and health care helper, who is passionate about working with citizens in their own homes, and through a wholehearted and professional effort will make a big difference in our citizens' daily life and well-being.

We also envision that

  • You have a great caregiving instinct and enjoy working with people
  • Are able to work independently and are confident in yourself and your professional skills
  • You are skilled at communicating and working across professions
  • You can create security and calm for the citizen and colleagues through your overview
  • You are reliable, responsible and can work on your own

We can offer

  • A permanent position of 28 hours
  • A thorough introduction program, where you work with a colleague for the first period and are trained in our systems
  • A great deal of freedom with responsibility
  • The opportunity for competences development and collegial sparring
  • Visible and present management, focusing on a good working environment and good collaboration

Your primary workplace is in Odense, where there is an opportunity to borrow one of our company cars, which is available.
