About this role
Nurse Jenny describes her job: "My work is largely about tools to empower the individuals who apply to us to discover their own resources and to provide support without taking away their own capabilities. The best part of my job is that I really enjoy working with my colleagues, and nearly every day feels like I have made a difference by giving my time to each person."

As a nurse with us, you will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful work, making significant contributions to patients experiencing acute illness or long-term mental health challenges.

The work is done in a care team that includes nurses and caregivers, utilizing a contact person system to provide individually tailored care and support.
