Would you lead a strong professional community and help shape the future perioperative patient pathways?

We are seeking an engaged and visionary chief nurse who wants to lead and further develop our recovery (post-anesthesia) department. We are looking for a leader who is motivated by achieving results through people, and who can combine high professional quality with development, wellbeing and innovation.

Become the leader of a strong professional community

The recovery department is an important part of the patient's operative journey and an integrated part of the Anesthesiology Department. We are a committed team consisting of 10 nurses with diverse educational and experiential backgrounds, who are passionate about recovery nursing. Together we create a strong professional community where cooperation, respect and helpfulness are a natural part of daily life.

The recovery department and intensive care constitute one unified organizational unit, but the two units are led by their own chief nurses with responsibility for daily operations and development.

Your role as chief nurse

As chief nurse you will be responsible for the daily management of the unit and become a central driving force in the continued development of both staff, the work environment and patient care.

You will become part of the department's leadership team, where we work closely together, spar with each other and find solutions collectively. We believe that the best results are created through involvement, trust and interdisciplinary collaboration.

• is motivated by ensuring high quality and good patient pathways
• is strong in coordination and prioritization
• thinks innovatively and sees opportunities rather than limitations
• values collaboration and actively contributes to strong relationships
• works purposefully with learning, competence development and professional quality
• has a focus on wellbeing and a good working environment, even when the boundaries change
• is happy to have experience from the anesthesiology and/or surgical area

We offer

• a challenging leader position with great opportunity to lead a professional and organizational field that is in rapid development
• a well-functioning and engaged team that performs recovery nursing with high professional pride
• a strong and supportive leadership community
• leadership training if you do not already have it
• professional sparring with clinical key personnel and specialists
• an department with ambitions, development power and focus on quality
• opportunity to help shape the future perioperative patient pathway at SUH Nykøbing F.
