Clinical Midwife Specialist for the Delivery Ward - Maternity Leave Cover at SUH Roskilde

Do you have the professionalism, overview and the desire to lift together? We are seeking a clinical midwifery specialist (KJS) for a 9-month maternity leave cover from 1 November 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter

As a KJS you will play a central role in the clinical daily life on the Maternity Ward at SUH Roskilde. You are the experienced midwife whom colleagues can spar with, and who at the same time has an eye for the whole, the operations and the good patient pathway. You work the shift in close collaboration with the obstetric medical team and contribute to the fruitful interdisciplinary collaboration. With us, no one should bear complex tasks alone. As a KJS you help make that a reality.

Your role as KJS

The KJS function is primarily a clinical function. You work closely with families and your colleagues and help ensure high professionalism, patient safety and coherent pathways.

You will among other things

• be a professional sparring partner for midwives and other colleagues
• support good and safe decisions in both normal and complex obstetric pathways
• maintain an overview and contribute to prioritization and coordination of daily operations
• contribute to a strong mono- and multidisciplinary collaboration
• support reflection, learning and professional development
• contribute to teaching, quality development and implementation of new knowledge

You will become an important bridge between professionalism, operations and development – with your feet firmly planted in the clinic.

We are looking for an experienced midwife with a strong midwifery professional profile, who...

• has a minimum of five years of experience as a midwife
• has solid clinical experience from a obstetric specialty department, rests in your midwifery professionalism and can maintain an overview – even when it is busy
• Is a good communicator and can, through professional sparring and supervision, support colleagues to prioritize their tasks, develop their professionalism and elevate them to meet the department's requirements
• thrives with collaboration and is eager to take co-responsibility for professionalism, operations, development and the working environment

A strong professional community

At SUH we work for safe, coherent and individually tailored pathways with the family as an active partner.

You will become part of a small KJS team with close professional sparring and a strong sense of collegiality. We seek a culture with room to ask, reflect and speak openly about what is difficult. As a KJS you do not need to have all the answers, but be part of creating an environment where we find good solutions together.

As a university hospital we work with obstetric research, data-driven quality development and evidence-based practice. As a KJS you are involved in translating knowledge and development into the clinical everyday life.

How we work in the KJS team

The KJS function is staffed around the clock every day of the year. You work 12-hour shifts. Teaching and development activities may be included in the position.

The KJS team is self-sufficient in case of acute absence. Weekends, shifts and vacations are distributed within the team so that everyone contributes, and at the same time there is room for the individual.

KJS works closely with management on the acute duty coverage outside normal office hours.
