What do you bring?
You have an eye for the person behind the addiction and combine nursing expertise with sincere involvement. You listen without judgment, but also dare to be clear and set boundaries. When a client shows resistance or a situation changes unexpectedly, you remain calm and professional. You maintain an overview and know from your experience what is needed.

As a nurse, you have a lot to offer. But do you also get the space to truly utilize your experience? At Jellinek Minnesota, you combine nursing care with personal guidance for people working on their recovery from addiction. You contribute ideas regarding appropriate care, show attention to the person behind the issues, and become part of a team where your knowledge and insights are valued. In this way, you contribute every day to a new start for clients.

What will you do?
At Jellinek Minnesota, you support clients following a clinical treatment based on the 12-step methodology. The groups are largely self-managing. As a nurse, you therefore do not stand in the group and do not lead the group sessions yourself. You work from the ward and are available when clients need nursing care or personal support. You are an important point of contact when someone experiences strong cravings, doubts their treatment, or is having an emotionally difficult time. You listen, motivate, and provide clarity, while also monitoring the physical and mental health of clients.

• You perform somatic checks and implement the medical policy of the physician.
• You guide new clients during their admission and ensure good organization of the daily nursing care.
• You administer medication and signal changes in the physical and mental health of clients.
• You offer a listening ear, conduct supportive conversations, and ensure structure and safety.
• You contribute your observations and nursing insights during multidisciplinary meetings.

No shift is the same. One moment you are performing a somatic check, and the next moment you are supporting a client who is doubting whether they want to continue their treatment. Your nursing knowledge and experience are of great value in this, especially when clients have psychiatric or somatic complaints in addition to their addiction. You are given the space to think along about appropriate care and to share your insights with colleagues.

You will join a dedicated multidisciplinary team with colleagues of various ages and backgrounds. You will work together with, among others, group leaders, counselors, psychologists, and addiction physicians. Colleagues are there for one another and there is room for your own initiative and new ideas. What makes the work extra valuable is that you sometimes see clients again after their treatment when they come to support others as volunteers.

"When an ex-client in recovery returns after treatment to help or support other clients, I think: how wonderful to see. That makes my work really very enjoyable." - Alfons, Coordinator Jellinek Minnesota.

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

• You have an affinity with the 12-step methodology. Experience with this is a bonus.
