Consultant/shift planner for the Greenlandic Health Service

The Greenlandic Health Service is in the process of implementing the duty rosters system PDC-VagtPlan and is seeking a consultant/roster planner with strong professional, digital, relational and communication skills.

You will have the opportunity to become part of building a new central function that will ensure consistent and quality-based roster planning across Greenland. As part of the central team you will play an important role in both the implementation of PDC-VagtPlan and the subsequent operation, support and further development of the roster planning area.

This is a permanent position with the workplace in Nuuk.

Your tasks will include

• Contribute to the implementation of PDC-VagtPlan, including configuration, setup and adaptation of the system to the needs of the individual departments
• Support the transition to new working practices and ensure a good anchoring of the system in the organisation
• Advise and support managers and local roster planners in the use of PDC-VagtPlan
• Quality assure rosters and contribute to ensuring compliance with working-time rules, collective agreements and local agreements

• Prepare guidelines and training materials and conduct training as needed
• Contribute to the development and improvement of workflows, principles and standards for roster planning
• Advise and brainstorm with managers and leaders on complex roster planning issues

Roster planning is a core task in all departments, but at the same time a complex function where many considerations must be balanced. A good roster ensures that patients meet the right staff with the right competencies at the right time and place. At the same time, economy, operations, working environment and employees’ well-being must be considered.

You thrive in a role where you create structure, find solutions and support managers and staff in complex planning tasks. You are motivated by collaboration, advisory work and being part of developing a central function in the Greenlandic Health Service.

We imagine that you

• Have experience with roster planning, preferably from a complex operational environment
• Have experience with electronic roster systems and preferably with PDC-VagtPlan or similar roster systems
• Have an interest in and preferably experience with configuring and customizing digital solutions
• Understand the connection between roster planning, working-time rules, collective agreements and operations
• Have strong competencies in planning, coordination and quality assurance
• Thrive in advisory, training and cross-organisational collaboration
• Work in a structured, independent manner with attention to both detail and the whole
• Be flexible regarding travel

It is advantageous if you

• Have experience from the health service
• Have experience with implementation or further development of digital systems
• Have experience in supporting users and power users in the use of digital solutions
• Have knowledge of working-time rules and collective agreements
