Would you like to help strengthen Region North Jutland’s overall crisis preparedness? Are you motivated by driving projects and development tasks in a large, political organization – and can you navigate the tension between strategy, project management and emergency preparedness? Then you are well on your way to becoming our new colleague.

We are a small unit where we work closely together on tasks and have a varied daily life with short lines of communication, high professionalism and ongoing sparring with one another. The unit is responsible for ensuring that Region North Jutland implements and complies with national requirements for health emergency preparedness and new legislation within, among other things, resilience (CER Act) and supply security. In addition, we are responsible for the region’s health emergency preparedness plan, which is a central governance document for the entire emergency preparedness.

We are based at Hjulmagervej in Aalborg together with the Pre-Hospital Care Organization, and you will become part of a small team with the head of emergency preparedness as your immediate supervisor.

Your tasks

Who are you?

You have previously worked in, for example, a municipality, state or region and have insight into the case handling and decision-making processes used in public organizations.
