Senior health administrative coordinator sought for the Department of Kidney, Gout and Connective Tissue Diseases, Zealand University Hospital, Køge

Help shape the department of the future across Zealand

Are you a visible and approachable leader with strong relational skills? Are you motivated by creating coherence, development and a shared direction in an organization undergoing change? Then this may be your next leadership position.

The Department of Kidney, Gout and Connective Tissue Diseases is seeking a Lead Health Administrative Coordinator with a start date of January 1, 2027 , who will lead our secretariat function and be a central co-player in the continued development of the department's ambitions.

We are a department in rapid development. Through a recent fusion we have become one department with activities on three sites in Køge, Roskilde and Nykøbing Falster. We will work purposefully to create a shared culture, strong professional communities and uniform patient pathways across geography and specialties.

Why you should choose us

With us you will have the opportunity to

• Make your mark on the development of a newly merged department
• Lead dedicated and competent medical secretaries and health administrative coordinators
• Work closely with the department's management colleagues and others
• Contribute to the development of future patient pathways and administrative solutions
• Have influence on both operations, quality and the work environment

About the position

As the leading health administrative coordinator you will be the closest manager for the department's medical secretaries and health administrative coordinators.

An important part of the task will be to support the continued development of the secretariats across the sites. You must be able to see the strengths in the different cultures and workflows while creating the framework for employees to develop a shared identity and a common professional foundation.

In addition, you should have a focus on patient rights, correct registration, data quality and capacity utilization as well as the development of workflows and digital solutions.

We are seeking a leader who understands that changes affect people differently, and who meets employees with curiosity, respect and empathy. You must be able to build trust, listen and be present, while at the same time being able to set direction and make decisions.

The secretariat group consists of 15 skilled secretaries distributed across the three sites, and your workplace will therefore be spread between the sites.

From 2028, the majority of the secretaries will be based at SUH Køge, but there will continue to be activity at the other hospitals.

We imagine that you

• Are educated as a medical secretary or health administrative coordinator with a leadership qualification
• Are a visible and approachable leader
• Have a view for both operations, relationships and development
• Create wellbeing through dialogue, involvement and clear communication
• Can unite employees around common goals and shared solutions
• Thrive in an organization undergoing change
• Contribute to the development of future patient pathways and administrative solutions

Your tasks will include, among others

• Provide personnel leadership, recruitment and competence development
• Ensure high quality in the administrative patient pathways
• Support an efficient and robust operation
• Contribute to the strategic development of the department
• Create collaboration and a common direction across sites
• Actively work with wellbeing, the work environment and employee involvement
• Ensure implementation of new initiatives and organizational changes
• Be an active part of the department's overall leadership

Do you want to join?

If you are seeking a leadership position, collaboration with skilled colleagues and the opportunity to set the direction in a new organization, we look forward to receiving your application.

Application deadline: November 10, 2027.

Interviews expected: Week 47.

Together we create the future Department of Kidney, Gout and Connective Tissue Diseases.
