About the job
- Do you want to help shape the future of the local health care system?
Do you want to use your professional skills close to the citizen? Do you thrive on complex patient pathways, independent assessments and strong interdisciplinary collaboration?
Do you want to be involved from the start when a new department is to be formed?
Then you might be the person we are looking for.
We are seeking an engaged, experienced and professionally strong social and health care assistant for the new health and care placements in Varde.
Here you get a unique opportunity to become part of a department that is being built and developed
- and to help create future citizen-centered health and care placements.
A job where your effort makes a difference
At the health and care placements you will meet citizens who need more time, care, treatment and rehabilitation before they are ready to move on.
The citizens can have complex somatic and medical issues and several simultaneous diseases. Your clinical assessment, professionalism and ability to see the whole person will therefore be decisive.
You will have a daily life where you work independently and at the same time closely with other professional groups around the citizen.
We are looking for someone who
- has broad clinical experience and a desire to work with citizens from different specialties
- has strong clinical and analytical competencies
- can work independently and make decisions
- is an engaged team player and contributes to the community

- thrives with interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration
- is curious about new ways of working
- has a desire for professional development and to help develop a new department
- understands that a good working environment is created together.
You don't need to know everything—what's most important is that you want to be involved, have the professional skills and engagement.
The position is full-time, in rotating shifts and with start as soon as possible.
Your tasks
As a social- and health care assistant you will be a central part of the citizen's pathway. You will among other things:
- provide holistic care
- observe, assess, treat and follow up on the citizen's condition
- identify changes in the citizen's health and act on them
- collaborate with doctors, health professionals and relatives
- work closely with nurses, social- and health care assistants, physiotherapists and occupational therapists
- create coherence in the citizen's progression
- contribute to developing and implementing new work procedures.
Be part of building something new
As a result of the Health Reform, Varde Municipality's Day rehabilitation will transfer to the regions
1 January 2027 .
At Esbjerg and Grindsted Hospitals the new clinical department Citizen-Centered Health is under construction. The department will, among other things, accommodate health and care placements and aims to create a more close, cohesive and equitable health system.
You will be employed at Varde Municipality's Day Rehabilitation until 1 January 2027, after which your employment will transfer to the region.
That means you have the opportunity to be involved from the very start and influence the new department.
We ensure you are not alone
We know that starting something new takes effort. Therefore we offer
- thorough onboarding program and an introduction to tasks and workflows
- ongoing competence development and good opportunities for professional and personal development
- influence on workflows, culture and the development of the new department
- a strong interdisciplinary community
- focus on the psychosocial work environment, dialogue and involvement
- a meaningful workplace , where you help create better and more cohesive citizen pathways.
Your starting point
Until 1 January 2027 you will be part of Varde Municipality's Day Rehabilitation , which currently has 20 rehabilitative placements.
Here we mainly receive citizens from the hospital for pathways that can last from one week to several months. The citizens have different somatic and medical issues and need rehabilitation to once again manage everyday life and achieve a meaningful daily life.
