The Åmosen Workshop is seeking a new, ambitious colleague

Do you want to help create frameworks for communities, well-being and development – and at the same time combine professionalism, presence and creativity for citizens with special competencies?

Værkstedet Åmosen søger en ny kollega, til vores §104 aktivitets- og samværstilbud, med plads til 19 mennesker med betydelige og varigt fysiske- og psykiske funktionsnedsættelser.

Hvem er du?

Desire to make a difference for our citizens with special competencies and varying support needs is an important factor for us. We are looking for a colleague who is strong in relationships and who can read and understand contexts. We are looking for a colleague who is investigative and curious in their approach to people, and meets the world with an open and non-judgmental mind.

Vi ser det som en fordel, hvis du som vores nye kollega kan se dig ind i flere af følgende:

• You are a pedagogue, workshop assistant or social- and health assistant.
• You should have the will, presence and empathy to participate in the daily activities, which mainly include outdoor life, forest work, exercise and the annually recurring events, such as theatre, canoeing, sports day and Norway trip – where it is important to mention that not all citizens participate in the trip. Therefore there will also be colleagues who stay back at the workshop and keep it open during the period.
• You should possess characteristics such as adaptability and flexibility.
• You should be able to see yourself in taking on tasks of a care-manner.
• You have a positive approach to community and thrive in a changing daily life, where pace can be high on some days, while other days there is room for quietness and immersion.
• You are professionally well-founded and can work independently, structured and goal-oriented.
• You are familiar with documentation in digital systems.
• You have a driver's license and are comfortable driving larger cars (B license), as there are quite a few travel tasks connected with the position.

Hvem er vi?

We at Værkstedet Åmosen are a group consisting of 19 wonderful people with special competencies, and 7 good colleagues.

At Åmosen we consider it a central part of our task, in collaboration with the citizens, to plan activities, work tasks and socializing in ways so that everyone can be part of an active community. We believe that everyone has the right to learning and development, regardless of background and prerequisites. Therefore it is important that the pedagogy is flexible and can constantly be adjusted based on dialogue, reflections and observations. We stand on the shoulders of Recovery-oriented rehabilitation and use methods that work for the people we collaborate with.

The work day starts from Åmosen, located in Niløse and normally runs Monday to Thursday from 08.00 to 15.45 and Friday from 08.00 to 14.00 There are monthly staff meetings and other ad hoc activities outside normal opening hours. Twice a year we go on a trip with the citizens, where there is overnight accommodation. One trip lasts 6 nights.

We can offer a workplace where we like each other and where we like going to work. We make decisions in common and therefore you will also meet all your new colleagues at a possible interview. There are good opportunities to take initiatives yourself and contribute with new activities and everyone is involved in shaping our daily life.

We are part of a strong team in Center for Handicap and Psychiatry, where we work with shared leadership, co-leadership and delegation of decision-making mandate.
