We are seeking an experienced and development-oriented nurse for a non-shift position of 32–37 hours per week at Døgn- og Rehabiliteringscenter Hegnsgården in Rudersdal Municipality.

About us

Hegnsgården is a 24-hour facility under development. We are working to develop the temporary spaces so they can meet future requirements for health services.

Residents often have complex health needs that require strong clinical competencies and close coordination across disciplines and sectors. Nursing and therapeutic interventions must work together to support residents' functional ability, independence and goals.

Your main tasks are to

• Develop and implement professional standards: Prepare, revise and follow up on nursing instructions, guidelines and workflows.

• Support quality in complex citizen pathways: Spar with staff on health-related issues, clinical assessments and documentation.

It is crucial that you can create engagement and following and carry improvements through to ensure they are anchored in daily practice.
