Experienced consultants for visitation guidelines at the Health Service's Quality Institute (Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense or Copenhagen)

Are you interested in being involved in developing new visitation guidelines for the health service and at the same time running and coordinating processes that support quality in assessment and treatment as well as appropriate use of health service resources?

The Health Service Quality Institute (SundK) is seeking two experienced consultants with strong competencies in process management, project work and change processes, who will help drive the development of visitation guidelines in a newly established team.

The Visitation Guidelines Team at SundK is responsible for developing and maintaining nationwide, health-professional visitation guidelines. The team was established in 2026 and currently consists of three consultants and a team coordinator.

You will have a central role in planning, coordinating and driving the work with visitation guidelines. You will work in close collaboration with various actors in the health service, including health professionals, representatives from patient organizations, administration and leadership as well as other organizations and authorities.

Your daily work will include many diverse tasks that can vary from task to task. Your overall responsibility in task solving will be to ensure cooperation and progress in the development of concrete visitation guidelines.

You will work at the intersection of method and practice. This includes, among other things, to explore and understand the stakeholder landscape, establish representative working groups and familiarize yourself with scientific literature and data. An important part of the work with visitation guidelines is to find the right balance between quality in diagnostics and treatment of a given disease and the organizational and economic frameworks.

You thus gain a central role in translating complex interdisciplinary knowledge into solutions that work in practice and create value for both the individual patient and the entire health care system.

You will work across disease areas in close collaboration with the team coordinator and colleagues in both the team and the rest of SundK.

Your tasks will include

• Drive and support the development of concrete visitation guidelines, including planning, coordinating and following up
• Contribute to the ongoing development of SundK’s generic visitation guideline model and optimization of the associated workflows
• Engage in dialogue with external actors in the health field
• Understand and acquaint yourself with knowledge within specific disease areas, including scientific literature, activity statistics as well as economic and organizational frameworks
• Facilitate working group meetings and support the working group in the development of visitation guidelines
• Draft texts and thus contribute to the development of decision proposals, status notes, the visitation guidelines themselves, presentations, etc.
• Participate in cross-cutting tasks in SundK, where the visitation guidelines have interfaces to other tasks
• Contribute to further developing the relatively newly established visitation guidelines team

We imagine that you

• Have a relevant health or social science education (e.g., cand.scient.san.publ., cand.scient.pol., cand.scient.san., cand.scient., cand.scient.med., cand.oecon. or equivalent)
• Have solid experience with project management and coordination – preferably from change processes in the health service
• Have experience with understanding and translating scientific literature, activity data, data regarding economics, etc. into decision processes
• Have experience from the health service and thus good knowledge of and understanding for health service actors, organization, governance and decision-making processes
• Have capacity and resource understanding and can translate this into an assessment of the visitation guidelines' consequences for the health service
• Thrive in a role where you create overview and progress in complex tasks with many stakeholders
• Thrive in development work that may sometimes change direction
• Thrive with collaborating with many people across tasks and disciplines – both internally in our matrix organization and externally
• Communicate clearly and precisely – both in writing and orally

We offer

• A meaningful position in a newer and strategically important SundK team
• A varied workday with both operations and development tasks
• A professionally strong and interdisciplinary work environment with good sparring opportunities
• Flexible working conditions and good opportunities for professional development
• A dynamic organization in development, where we as SundK are part of setting a significant agenda for quality and prioritization in the health service
