Health professional project manager for a social actor in development

Are you a nurse – perhaps a development nurse with a social science background? Do you want to create development together with more than 600 colleagues in the specialized social sector?

When a department needs to prepare for a health professional inspection, you are ready with qualified sparring. When new ways of working have to reach more than 30 departments, you make leaders and staff see the meaning and adopt them. And when data reveal new patterns, you make that knowledge usable in practice.

This is the scope of your job as a health-professional project manager at the Social Development Fund.

We are a nationwide organization with residential services and social interventions. We are seeking a project manager who can set direction, work analytically, and build buy-in as we strengthen the health-professional effort and documentation work in our more than 30 departments.

The position is full-time with expected start on December 1, 2026.

You will make health work in practice

You will become a central professional sparring partner for managers and staff in our departments across the country. Here you will help translate health-professional knowledge into practices that make sense in the social-professional work and in each person's daily life.

This means, among other things, that you will

• advise departments on health-professional issues
• update and maintain our health-professional instructions
• teach medication handling and medication pedagogy
• facilitate the network for the departments' medication and health officers and contribute to their competence development
• help departments prepare for risk-based inspections
• ensure that experiences from, among other things, unintended incidents are translated into learning and better practice.

Documentation must create value

In the Social Development Fund, documentation creates value. It helps the individual person follow their own development, gives staff and managers knowledge to adjust the effort, and makes us wiser about the quality of our work.

Therefore you must enjoy delving into data. But you must be just as focused on what happens when the results come back to the departments.

Your tasks will include, among other things, to

• facilitate development processes where data are translated into quality and method development
• work with large data volumes and communicate results clearly to both internal and external audiences
• collaborate with our documentation super users, steering group and external analytics partners on progression measurements, wellbeing surveys and analyses
• ensure that results and new knowledge are discussed and used in professional development

Our documentation platform is Sensum One. It would be a big plus if you already know the system inside out. Otherwise we expect you to have a flair for documentation systems. We also use Cognos for data visualization and reporting.

You must be able to get others on board

One of your most important tasks will be to make the work with health professionalism and documentation relevant, understandable, and usable for those who must implement it in practice. This requires that you are curious about daily life in the departments, can listen and adjust while maintaining the professional direction.

We imagine that you …

you are a trained nurse and have experience from the specialized social sector, psychiatry, or another area where health professionalism must operate in a complex multidisciplinary practice. Perhaps you currently work as a development nurse, health-professional consultant, or project manager.

We also value that you

• have strong analytical skills and are comfortable working with data
• have experience with project management or driving development processes
• can communicate complicated knowledge and teach different professional audiences
• are familiar with the conditions in the specialized social sector
• work independently and easily grasp digital documentation systems

It would be an advantage if you have an academic further education in sociology, public health science, or another relevant social science field. The crucial thing is that you can combine your health-professional background with a solid analytical perspective and an understanding of organizational development.

As a person, you are curious, persistent, and good at building trust. You can stand firmly on your professional stance without having all the answers in advance, and you thrive on developing solutions together with the people who will use them.

Your workplace is across the country

Our headquarters are in Odense. You will be part of the shared administration and have a close collegial community here. We are also in the middle of a new organization, where we strengthen management with four new heads of profession, with whom you will have close collaboration as well.

But a significant part of your work will take place in our departments. Where in the country you live is therefore less decisive. The important thing is that you have the opportunity and desire to travel a lot and be present where everyday life and development take place. On average you should expect to be at the headquarters in Odense two days a week. It is a requirement that you have a car and a driver's license.

What you get

We offer attractive employment terms with good opportunities for professional development. With the job you get:

• ongoing relevant continuing education
• supervision
• an interprofessional, competent community where we support and help each other to continue developing social-pedagogical solutions for people with complex challenges

Tell us how you will create buy-in

In your application we would like you to tell us about your relevant experiences and share your ideas on how you will gain buy-in from managers and staff when new workflows or professional initiatives have to find their way into a busy daily life.

If you have questions about the position, you are welcome to contact regional director Margrethe Langer at telephone 30 84 45 05 or [email protected].
