Ø1, 1st floor is in rapid development and we need someone who wants to join us on the journey.

In modern psychiatry you as a medical secretary have an important role and you will have the opportunity to use your competencies in the interdisciplinary collaboration around the patient.

You will come in daily to the ward for, among other things, morning meetings and follow-up on tasks in the ward, and you will perform the daily morning routine as well as ad hoc tasks. After lunch we sit together in the shared secretariat, where there is an opportunity for joint deepening and professional sparring with the other secretaries.
