Are you a nurse who thrives in multidisciplinary teams and is passionate about an exciting specialty? Then you could be the one we are looking for.

Vestdansk Center for Rygmarvsskade is a large and well-functioning department with many dedicated employees. That means that we frequently wish a colleague a good maternity leave or retirement. Therefore we are seeking a nurse for 37 h/week, for permanent employment from 1 December/January 2026 or after agreement – we are happy to wait for the right.

The position is in mixed shifts with weekend shifts. You are employed in a three-shift system, but mainly work in a two-shift system (day/evening or day/night). If you have a strong wish for primarily on-call work (evening or night), that may also be possible.

We offer a workplace where

There is a strong focus on onboarding. We have a thorough onboarding program tailored individually for you, including an introductory program, conversations, training, a mentor and several intro shifts. We have good experience with onboarding for both newly educated staff, those with many years of experience, and those in between.

We work highly specialized with rehabilitation both cross-disciplinary and mono-disciplinary. We work in interdisciplinary teams and have both cross-disciplinary and mono-disciplinary sparring, training and supervision. The nursing profession offers a wide range of nursing-related problem areas e.g. urology, respiration, sexology, bowel, nutrition, circulation, crisis, wounds, sleep, communication, hygiene, etc. at a high professional level. We continually work to develop our nursing professionalism.

The patient is the key person in their course. We focus on giving the patient tools and knowledge to tackle challenges related to problems after spinal cord injury. It is essential that we get to know the patient in order to plan the best rehabilitation process. Patient and staff jointly find the best path in each course. Here, the length of a hospital stay is often 2-3 months, and there is an opportunity to follow, observe development and adjust nursing in rehabilitation processes along the way.
