Several of our skilled and valued colleagues have retired, and therefore we now have the opportunity to invite new energy into a strong and well-functioning community. The position is permanent and available from December 1, 2026 or by agreement. We work with a wish plan and offer both the possibility of a limited workload and individual agreements, so work life and private life can go hand in hand.

Here, the anaesthesiological core task is the focal point – and we cultivate it with high professionalism, curiosity and pride. We create a daily life where pace and variation are a natural part of a safe and collegial working environment. We prioritise professional development, challenges and learning, as this strengthens both the quality for patients and the job satisfaction for us. We believe that a strong community and a high level of professional expertise are the foundation for thriving and succeeding – every day.

It gives a busy and ever-changing daily life with a wide range of challenges and a broad spectrum of tasks.

Education is a natural part of our core task. We have a large educational obligation to anesthesia trainees, introductory and main specialty training doctors, prehospital personnel, etc. Our learning environment is characterised by high quality, interdisciplinarity and simulation training as an integrated part of daily life.
