Ward 6 needs you - the nurse who brings her professionalism and a good sense of humor

Nurse sought for intensive (closed) 24-hour ward at the Psychiatric Center Ballerup, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital.

Do you want to be involved from the very start – not just to cover shifts, but to actively shape an entirely new ward?

Ward 6 has just opened again, and we are in full swing to create a workplace where high professionalism, safety, humanity and humor go hand in hand.

Who are we? Ward 6 is an intensive (closed) 24-hour ward with 13 beds, where we receive patients from across the psychiatric spectrum in an acute phase of their illness. We see the person behind the illness.

Patients need calm, structure, relationships, professional care and staff who can be present – also when it is difficult and that is what we intend to be!

In the daytime and evening hours we support and motivate the patients to activities and structure. At night we create calm, safety and good sleep hygiene.

There is always an opportunity for professional sparring, and we have several daily conferences, time set aside for dialogue in each shift, as well as theme days with teaching and supervision.

You will become part of an interdisciplinary community consisting of among others nurses, social- and health care assistants, psychologists, doctors, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, pedagogues, social workers and recovery mentors – we work together on the complex.
