Sometimes you make a difference simply by being there. As a group facilitator at Jellinek Minnesota, you support people working on their recovery from addiction. You offer a listening ear when someone is having a hard time, help clients rediscover their motivation, and provide clarity where needed. You work in a dedicated team where your experience and insight are valued. In this way, you help clients regain control of their lives, step by step.

What will you be doing?
At Jellinek Minnesota, you support clients undergoing clinical treatment according to the 12-step methodology. The groups are largely self-directed. Therefore, as a group facilitator, you do not lead the group and do not facilitate the group sessions yourself. Instead, you are available on the ward for clients who need support. You observe, identify issues, and offer guidance at the moments it is needed.

It is precisely that role that makes your work special. When practitioners have gone home for the day, you are an important point of contact for clients. For example, when someone experiences strong cravings, gets stuck in their recovery, or doubts whether they want to continue the treatment. At such moments, you offer a listening ear, help someone find their motivation again, and provide clarity where needed.

• Guiding and motivating clients during their recovery process, while allowing space for personal responsibility.
• Observing behavior and identifying changes in the well-being of clients, also when there are psychiatric or somatic complaints.
• Providing structure and safety and setting clear boundaries when situations demand it.
• Sharing your observations and insights during multidisciplinary meetings, so that these are included in treatment decisions.
• You support daily care and distribute medication when you are authorized and competent to do so.

No shift is the same. Sometimes an evening proceeds calmly, while at other times you must switch gears quickly when a client needs extra support. This requires flexibility, knowledge of human behavior, and the ability to remain calm and professional even in difficult situations.

You work in a clinical ward where care continues 24 hours a day. Therefore, you work irregular shifts, including evenings and weekends.

In your role as a group facilitator, you will be involved in, among other things:
