About the job

Do you want to help create quality of life, security and meaningful everyday lives?

We are looking for a dedicated pedagogical or health professional for a permanent position of 37 hours per week in House 10 on Ane Staunings Vej.

In House 10 you will be part of a workplace where professionalism, presence and respect for the individual are in focus. Here 16 residents aged 20-86 live, all with significant and lasting functional impairments and a need for individual support, care, and help around the clock. The resident group is diverse and includes people with autism, Down syndrome and multi-handicap.

We place great emphasis on meeting each resident based on their resources, wishes and needs. Our most important task is to create the framework for a safe, meaningful and dignified daily life, where the residents experience the greatest possible self-determination, influence and quality of life.

In our pedagogical work we base ourselves, among other things, on LA2 (Low Arousal 2) , where we work systematically with the residents’ well-being, perspectives and coping strategies. We focus on understanding each resident’s behavior and needs and on how we as staff can adapt our approach and create the best conditions for well-being and development.

Who are we?

We are a multidisciplinary staff group with various educational backgrounds and competencies, who together work to create the best possible framework for residents’ everyday lives.

We believe that high professionalism is built in collaboration. Therefore we prioritize professional reflection, sparring and knowledge sharing, where we are curious about both our own and each other’s practices. We see our different professional perspectives as a strength that contributes to a holistic approach around the individual resident.

Our daily work is characterized by both pedagogical and health-care tasks, and we work from an understanding that care, relationships, self-determination and professional quality go hand in hand.

We want a workplace culture where there is room for diversity, professional discussions and development. Where we dare to ask questions, be investigative and together find new ways when something is difficult. We value a collegial community marked by trust, respect, responsibility and a good dose of humor.

Here you are not alone in the task. We help each other, share our knowledge and take joint responsibility for both residents’ well-being and a good working environment.

  • Sees documentation as an important tool to ensure quality, continuity and development in the effort.
  • Is professionally curious, reflective and has courage to explore both own and others’ practice.
  • Wants to contribute to a culture where professionalism is shared, developed and translated into action.
  • Works responsibly, structured and independently, yet values close collegial collaboration.
  • Can remain calm and maintain overview in challenging situations and meets residents with respect and understanding.
  • Contributes positively and constructively to collaboration with colleagues, relatives and external partners.

Your tasks will include

  • To support residents’ well-being, development, self-determination and quality of life based on their individual resources and needs.
  • To provide pedagogical support, personal care and practical help in everyday life.
  • To perform or support health-care tasks within your area of competence.
  • To work with LA2 as part of the shared professional approach.
  • To document, evaluate and follow up on interventions in Nexus.
  • To actively contribute to professional reflections, sparring and development processes.
  • To collaborate closely with colleagues on common professional goals and a coherent effort.
  • To create structure, predictability and meaningful activities based on each resident’s wishes and needs.

We offer

  • A meaningful and varied daily life where you have the opportunity to make a real difference for people with significant support needs.
  • Dedicated colleagues with different professional competencies and extensive knowledge about the target group.
  • A workplace focused on learning, professional reflection and ongoing development of our practice.
  • Visible leadership focused on dialogue, collaboration and employees’ well-being.
  • Supervision, professional sparring and opportunities for competency development.
  • A work environment where we actively work with collaboration, respect and psychological safety.
