We are looking for Environmental worker
One of our main tasks is to organise both individual and group courses, over one or more days, for users and family members.

We are therefore looking for a motivated, flexible and conscientious environmental worker/activator.

The Eikholt model is launched
Eikholt has existed for more than 40 years and has been involved in continuous development in line with society in general. We have now launched our own Eikholt model that describes our practice, why we do what we do and what we want to be for users and their carers. This is an endeavour in which all Eikholt employees have participated, well led by Rolf Lund, Ann-Britt Johansson and Thomas Øverby. We are very proud to present this work, which emphasises Eikholt's values of Safe - Competent - Creative, frames our rehabilitation perspective and, not least, that this work is based on user feedback.
Time for us - a report on courses for carers, couples and families
When you think of your family, who do you think of? You might choose a few or many family members. Maybe you write down one of your siblings or cousins, but not all of them. Maybe a good friend joins your family map? Who is defined as part of our family varies according to the time and culture we are part of and is therefore different for everyone. At Eikholt, we have programmes for couples, families and close individuals.
All courses are running as normal this autumn
