Clinical therapy specialist for Citizen-Centered Health, Hospital Unit Midt – Be part of shaping the future of the near-at-home health care system

Do you dream of standing at the front row as tomorrow's new health system takes shape? We are seeking a clinical therapist professional specialist with the courage to build something new from the ground up – a department that will bring health closer to citizens in Viborg, Silkeborg and Skive Municipalities.

About Citizen-Centered Health

Citizen-Centered Health is not just a new department – it is a new way of thinking about health. We are established as part of the Health Reform and are tasked with creating more coherence, closeness and quality in citizens' health trajectories. From January 1, 2027, acute nursing, health and care placements as well as patient-focused prevention will transfer from the municipalities to the regions, and we need you to be ready.

We believe that the health system of the future is created in strong communities across sectors and professional disciplines. Therefore, we want to create a department where development and innovation go hand in hand with high professional quality and an unwavering focus on citizens' needs. It is not merely an organizational change – it is an ambitious shift from a classic hospital perspective to a broader health perspective, where prevention, cohesion and citizen involvement are central driving points.

As a clinical therapist professional specialist with us, you will have the opportunity to define what close-to-home health care should look like in practice. You will become part of a team consisting of Chief Physician, Chief Nursing Officer, Department Management Secretary and Clinical Nursing Specialist, who will support a strong professional direction for the entire Hospital Unit Midt.

About the position

As a clinical therapist professional specialist, you will have a unique opportunity to develop the professional solutions, working methods and quality standards that will support future close-to-home health offerings. You will become a central actor in the establishment of the department and in translating the Health Reform's ambitions into concrete improvements for citizens and employees.

The position covers a broad range between quality development, implementation, analysis, competence development and project management. You must be able to move safely between strategy and practice and ensure that new initiatives are translated into meaningful solutions with documented value. You will serve as a professional advisor to the department leadership and actively contribute to identifying development needs, translating data and knowledge into action, and supporting decisions that strengthen quality and value creation for citizens.

You will have on-site presence and meeting activities across the hospital's campuses and the 3 municipalities, but with a primary base at the Viborg Regional Hospital.

Your primary tasks

You will, among other things, be responsible for initiating, leading and supporting interdisciplinary quality and development projects. You will contribute to the development of coherent citizen- and patient pathways across sectors and organizational boundaries and support the implementation of new initiatives, workflows and organizational solutions.

Additionally, you will facilitate improvement work, evaluation and documentation of development projects, as well as contribute to developing a strong quality and patient safety culture. You will conduct analyses of workflows, organizational processes and development needs and plan training, guidance and competence development for colleagues and partners.

You provide professional sparring to leaders, key personnel and staff and contribute to the department's work with monitoring, quality follow-up and use of data. You will participate in relevant internal and external development, quality and collaboration fora and support the department leadership in developing future citizen-centered health offerings.

We offer

You will become part of a new department with an important societal mandate and a unique opportunity to influence the development of the health system of the future. We offer a position where you have great influence on both content and direction, and where you will work closely with the department leadership, municipalities, general practice and the hospital's other departments.

With us you will have the opportunity to shape the building of a new department from the ground up and a central role in implementing the Health Reform. You will have a high degree of independence and influence over your own areas of work, as well as close collaboration with the department leadership and key partners. We are a workplace with high ambitions and development potential. Not least, you will have the opportunity to create visible results for citizens – results you can see and feel in everyday life.

About you

We are looking for you who are a licensed occupational or physiotherapist with relevant further education at the master's or PhD level. You have solid clinical experience and strong therapist professional competencies, and you bring a good dose of humor to the work community.

We expect that you have

• Experience with quality development, implementation and improvement work
• Experience with project management and organizational development processes
• Strong communicative and relational skills
• Ability to plan and carry out complex development tasks in collaboration with many stakeholders

Familiarity with improvement work, implementation methods and data-driven quality development will be a great advantage.

You work analytically, structurally and independently and are eager to teach, guide and facilitate development processes. You can navigate in an organization characterized by change and development, and you are motivated to create results through collaboration. You have a view to both the individual citizen and the overall organization and thrive on creating structure in new and complex tasks. You derive energy from development and change, can build followership across professional disciplines and sectors, and you are willing to contribute to building something entirely new.
