About the job

Be part of a dynamic, interdisciplinary and appreciative work community with the citizen as the most important co-player in their own process; if you are focused on collaboration with citizens with mental disorders and/or socially complex challenges, you might be our new colleague in rehabilitation and housing support.

We are seeking a temporary worker with start date 01-11-2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The temporary position is for one year.

About the job

In Rehabilitation and Housing Support we work with Recovery-Oriented Rehabilitation as a common professional framework. This means that as a housing support worker you will be part of an interdisciplinary team collaboration, with focus on developing rehabilitation pathways in close cooperation with citizens and their networks. The target group in housing support and rehabilitation are citizens who have been granted an early retirement pension and who have mental disorders and/or complex social problems.

As housing support, the tasks range from supporting citizens in developing personal skills, developing/maintaining social networks, support for greater independence and participation in daily life, motivating and providing support for practical tasks and coordination with networks and other professionals. The goal is set together with the citizen, but the focus will always be on supporting the citizen to as independent a life as possible.

Rehabilitation and Housing Support consists of 44 employees, distributed in 3 teams at different addresses in Odense. We solve the core task within our own team and across teams, and we are very committed to assembling the best team in collaboration with the citizen, ensuring quality of the professional effort, being innovative, open and curious about new initiatives and professional methods, as well as supporting each other in the tasks and challenges one faces daily.

In addition, we naturally have close cooperation with external actors in the citizen's life, such as the psychiatric department, addiction treatment or others.

Working hours for the positions are primarily daytime, on weekdays Monday to Friday.

Specifically we are seeking a temporary worker for the team "Rismarksvej", which consists of 18 employees and is interdisciplinary.
