S3 Acute Ward for Older Adults
The acute ward S3 is aimed at people in psychiatric emergency situations who require intensive inpatient treatment due to an acute mental illness. Careful psychiatric and somatic assessment as well as the collection of the personal life history form the basis for all therapies. The entire treatment programme is focused on managing the current crisis and reintegration into the old or newly designed circumstances and includes, in addition to recovery-oriented psychosocial support, alternative treatment interventions such as NADA, phytotherapy, and much more.
The ward is usually run as an open ward and implements the Safewards model. We look forward to you contributing your ideas.
Your Tasks
Flexibility and enjoyment of variety are central points. Because that is exactly what working in acute psychiatry means. If this applies to you, here are some of the most important tasks:
- Key worker role: We treat our patients individually according to their needs and maintain contact with relatives
- In addition to individual conversations, group sessions take place, which are also led by nursing staff
- Our interprofessional collaboration is a huge strength and distinguishes us. Active participation and contribution are central components of this collaboration
- Since we work with permanent night shifts, you will be deployed in a two-shift system (early and late shifts). Would you still like to work a few nights occasionally? We can make that possible too.
Your Profile
Professional competence, service orientation, and a great sense of humour are the most important qualities you must bring. With these qualities, we achieve the best treatment outcomes for our patients, and the team is pleased that you will become part of it.
If you have experience in nursing but not in the psychiatric field, entry is still possible. It is then crucial that you bring a lot of motivation and commitment to acquire the specific skills. Within the framework of our extensive internal offerings and generous support for further training and education, you can learn about the various therapy methods and then apply them yourself. Of course, you will also be supported by your new colleagues.
Our Offer
- Innovative employer with strong interprofessional collaboration
- Very good development opportunities with generous support for further training and education
- Various discounts (e.g. with Reka checks, health-promoting offers, selected leisure activities and online shops)
- 5 weeks holiday, from the age of 50 27 days and from the age of 60 32 days
- Excellent catering options at very fair prices and much more...
