The individual employee gets exciting and varied tasks, for people with very different and varied assistance needs. This will require professional qualifications, good attitudes and abilities.  

 

Work assignments

For all departments, work close to the patient at nursing home level applies.

Tasks such as nurturing, care, observations, activities, collaboration with other units will be primary tasks.

Tjørsvågheimen has been a certified joy of life home since 2017. 

We assume that all employees contribute actively in the work to create good moments for our patients.

Nursing team: 

We have nurses and social workers organized in their own department. The department is responsible for the nursing services offered to all patients. The purpose is to use the right expertise in the right place at the right time.

In this way, we ensure a stable nursing staff, they get a professional community, can share expertise with each other and you are never at work alone as the only nurse. The care workers contribute with expertise from their specialist fields. 

The nursing department has time for nursing tasks, and has a good working environment in between.

"Reinforced Department":

While waiting for premises to be built for a reinforced department, we already want to establish a team that can work specifically on this. The team will be responsible for patients with particularly challenging behaviour, and will be responsible for mapping and methodical environmental work.

Health professional team:

We have our own team of healthcare workers who assist the various departments across the board. This is to ensure help where it is most needed at all times.

It is also an advantage to be professionally confident, so that you can also assist patients you do not know as well from day to day. 

Night team: 

With us, all night shifts are organized in their own department. This is to improve the possibility of being able to collaborate well crosswise, and to facilitate a professional community. Previous experience of night work is an advantage. 

A night shift position is not suitable as a redeployment from other work. To be able to work at night, you should be stable and in good health.
