As a social worker within acute mental healthcare, on the medium care and high & intensive care wards, you look beyond mental challenges. Together with the client, you look at the social and societal situation and what is needed for recovery and follow-up. Read on quickly!

In the role of social worker, you fulfill an important role in the recovery of the clients.

Medium care (MC) and the high & intensive care (HIC) together with intensive home treatment (IHT) form the acute care chain within Emergis. On both wards, as a healthcare professional, you offer intensive, specialist care to adults in a crisis situation, where safety, recovery, and the prevention of coercion and pressure are central.

MC provides space for 24 clients and focuses on people who temporarily need intensive guidance during a crisis, but for whom the intensity of care and the loss of control are more limited. You work in a multidisciplinary team in which different disciplines work closely together around the client.

The HIC offers short-term, intensive treatment to clients with severe psychiatric disorders and behavioral problems, where there may be a risk to themselves or others. The ward has 23 beds, divided into an intensive care unit and two high care units. Here too, you work within a multidisciplinary team on safe and recovery-oriented care.

At Emergis, you will find not only a position and an environment where you truly make a difference, but also good conditions. We offer you:

• Research & treatment: Together with the client, you research the request for help, draw up a treatment plan and, in consultation with the lead practitioner, take charge in complex cases. You also ensure the preparation and handling of care agreements and indications.
• Collaborating & representing: You work closely with colleagues, maintain contact with chain partners, and are an important point of contact for the client and loved ones.
• Contributing to innovation: You work in accordance with policy, participate in both internal and external projects, and contribute to improvements and innovations in healthcare delivery.
