Nurse

About the job

To complete our team, we are looking for a nurse who wishes to embrace the Sans Souci philosophy, where we support each person from where they are, their resources, choices, and aspirations, in an approach focused on recovery, self-determination, and harm reduction.

Nurse at 80%-100%

Start date: as soon as possible or to be agreed

Hours: continuous + weekends and on-call duties

Working at Sans-Souci means:

• Supporting people living with mental health disorders in their recovery journey and life projects.
• Developing a comprehensive, individualised, and non-judgemental support relationship that recognises each person’s experience, choices, resources, and aspirations.
• Supporting self-determination and empowerment by building responses with the person that take into account their priorities, abilities, and also the risks they choose to take.
• Embedding practice in a harm reduction approach, particularly regarding substance use, favouring dialogue, pragmatism, and the search for adapted strategies rather than a solely prescriptive logic.
• Co-constructing rehabilitation and reintegration projects with residents, in partnership with their network and the various professionals involved.
• Working in a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and initiative-friendly environment, allowing for varied, creative, and reflective practice.
• Benefiting from the working conditions provided by the collective labour agreement of the Vaud parapublic sector.

We are looking for:

• A nurse with experience in psychiatry, holding a Bachelor of Science in nursing or an equivalent qualification.
• A professional who shares a recovery-oriented support vision, recognising the person as an active agent in their journey, choices, and life project, including when these involve some risk.
• Someone capable of adopting a kind, non-judgemental stance respectful of self-determination, seeking a balance between empowerment, safety, and professional responsibility.
• A professional comfortable with a harm reduction approach, able to support substance use and risk-taking pragmatically, without trivialisation or moralising attitudes.
• An autonomous, flexible, and creative person, able to question their practices, adapt to situations, and build individualised responses rather than systematically applying standardised ones.
• Finally, a professional who values interdisciplinary and partnership work, constructive confrontation of perspectives, and co-construction with residents and their network.
