We are looking for a ward manager for housing support at the Oulunkylä residential building and family care for mental health work starting from 1 August 2026. The work begins with fixed-term periods in two different sessions and becomes permanent from 1 June 2027. The ward manager's work consists of two housing services for mental health clients, a 45-place residential building for mental health and substance abuse residents with 6 employees, and family care with 6 family caregivers and 11 residents. The support aims to help residents manage daily life as independently as possible despite illness, including skills training, group activities, symptom management, and medication. The rehabilitation is based on a personalized recovery plan created jointly by the resident and a multidisciplinary team. The framework is recovery-oriented and community-based. The multidisciplinary team includes nurses, practical nurses, mental health nurses, and social workers. The ward manager is responsible for leading and developing the housing services, organizing work tasks, and acting as a supervisor for the team members. The role influences the design of smooth recovery processes and appropriate content of rehabilitation, supports staff well-being, and works with assessment managers, senior nurses, and colleagues. Interviews will start during the recruitment process. We offer an interesting and varied job with extensive training and development opportunities. As a city employee, you can apply for a rental apartment from Aurora Palace, which is more affordable than market rates, with priority for employee applications. We also promote work-life balance, offering Epassi Flex benefits including sports, culture, commuting, and well-being benefits up to 550 euros per calendar year, a lunch benefit, a city bike, and access to a recreational island for city employees.
