Use your professional expertise to develop practice – become a subject coordinator at Othello

Would you like to help strengthen professional quality, develop practice, and create even better everyday lives for the residents? Then it might be you we are looking for.

Othello Nursing Home is seeking two health-educated employees for newly established positions as professional coordinators . Here you have the opportunity to bring your professionalism into play in new ways, support your colleagues, and help shape the direction of professional development across the house – all in line with the new Elderly Act.

In close collaboration with the department heads, you will help translate professional knowledge into good practice, create coherence in holistic care, and ensure that we learn from each other in daily life. You will play a central role in strengthening the quality of care – both through professional sparring and by being close to practice yourself.

You do not need to choose between professional development and proximity to the residents. With us you get the possibility of both. About a third of your working time will be tied to practical tasks, where you, together with colleagues, can translate professional knowledge into action.

Othello is in an exciting development, where we together create a common professional direction and a workplace where both residents and staff thrive. You will become part of a community where we dare to question habits, share our experiences, and find better solutions together.

We are looking for you who want to take professional responsibility, create companionship through dialogue, and make a real difference for both residents and colleagues.

The Coordinator's tasks

The coordinators will collaborate with the management on professional priorities, workflows, and learning. The coordinators have a special role in relation to the following areas:

Professional sparring and guidance

You are an accessible professional sparring partner for colleagues. You contribute to reflection on concrete situations, share knowledge, and support professional assessments with respect for colleagues' experiences and competences.

Quality and professional workflows

You help translate guidelines and new professional knowledge into everyday practice. You support good documentation, follow up on quality initiatives, and help create joint workflows across the house.

Learning and competence development

You contribute to the introduction of new colleagues, share knowledge, and create opportunities for learning in daily work. In time you can also take on a role as facilitator at resident conferences.

Coherent care with the resident at the center

You help connect professional quality with residents' wishes, habits, and life histories. You help ensure that professional development does not become an end in itself, but creates tangible value in residents' daily lives.

Would you like to meet us? Come to "Open House" on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, from 3:00–4:00 PM. Just come by, and we are ready for dialogue over a cup of coffee.

Who are we looking for?

You are health-educated and want to use your professionalism in new ways. Perhaps you already have experience with professional guidance, training, or quality work. Perhaps you are the experienced colleague that others naturally turn to for sparring and who wants to take the next step.

We imagine that you

• have a strong professional interest and a desire to translate knowledge into good practice
• can convey professional knowledge in an understandable and respectful manner – both orally and in writing
• thrive with guiding colleagues and creating learning through dialogue and reflection
• work systematically and follow up on agreements and tasks
• can create an overview and stay calm, even when daily life is busy
• are curious about new methods and have the courage to challenge habits in a constructive way
• collaborate well across teams and see the value in joint workflows and professional standards
• meet residents, colleagues, and next of kin with respect, presence, and a positive approach
• are familiar with daily record-keeping.

The most important thing is your professionalism, your desire to learn, and your ability to bring others along. You do not need to know everything from day one. We emphasize that you are curious, take responsibility, and want to develop the role together with colleagues and management.

What will you get with us?

• Regular sparring meetings with the department heads and network between the two coordinators
• Influence: You will have the opportunity to shape a new function and help develop the professional direction at Othello
• Collaboration with management: You work closely with the department heads on professional priorities and development
• Professionalism in practice: You will have time for both professional sparring, quality development, and concrete tasks close to residents
• Security in the role: You will receive a thorough introduction and support to grow into the role
• Professional development: You will have the opportunity to develop your competencies in guidance, implementation, and quality
• A meaningful community: You will become part of a workplace where relationships, homeliness, and residents' joy of life are central values.
