Become a key player in the future regional acute care nursing in Funen, Assens Municipality

Are you an experienced nurse who thrives with clinical decisions, complexity and independence in acute care?

Do you want to be among the first to shape a completely new regional function, with strong professional support from OUH?

Then you have a unique opportunity: We are building the Regional Acute Nursing Fyn in Borgernær Sundhed at OUH and are seeking nurses who want to join from the start.

Why choose Borgernær Sundhed

With us you won't just get a job – you get a central role in building the new, close-to-home health system. Borgernær Sundhed is a new clinical department established January 1, 2026 as part of the Health Reform. From January 1, 2027 we will consolidate the responsibility for acute nursing, health and care beds and patient-centered prevention. Our task is clear: To bring advanced nursing, treatment and assessment close to the citizen's daily life, and to create equity in health and coherence across hospital, municipality and general practice.

In the transformation, the Regional Acute Nursing plays a central role, and you will have the opportunity to

• work close to the citizen with the municipality and general practice – and with OUH behind you
• gain real clinical autonomy and influence on decisions
• be involved in shaping workflows, culture and professional direction from day one.

You will become part of a single unit, across the Funen municipalities, based at the Health and Care Places in Vissenbjerg and reporting to the functional management for Acute Nursing.

Your role

You will become a central clinical actor in the close-to-home health system and will among other things need to:

• handle acute and subacute tasks in the citizen's own home
• perform independent clinical assessments and initiate treatment
• collaborate closely with doctors on diagnostics and treatment plans
• contribute to preventing unnecessary hospitalizations and support earlier discharges
• ensure coherent patient pathways across sectors
• be a professional sparring partner for colleagues – both by phone and in person

We are looking for you who

• have solid experience from e.g. municipal acute nursing, emergency reception, intensive care, anesthesia or home nursing (i.e., you do not need to have the specialty training)
• are confident in independent clinical decisions – even when it gets busy
• are motivated to help build something new in close collaboration with colleagues and management
• have strong clinical observation and assessment skills
• are able to build trust with citizens and partners

Professional development – not just a promise

You will become part of an environment where development is built into everyday life

• systematic competence development in acute nursing
• close sparring with colleagues and medical backing
• active participation in the development of new workflows and solutions
• opportunity to influence future practice – locally and regionally

Employment terms and application

There are permanent positions at 37 hours per week in mixed shifts.

The region is obliged to inform you of the starting salary for the position. You will be informed of base pay, centrally set allowances and pension in the Health Union – collective agreement 32.17.1.
