Medical Secretary/Health Administrative Coordinator for the Neurorehabilitation Section NR in Svendborg

Maternity Leave Cover

Do you want to be part of a department where professionalism, collaboration and development go hand in hand?

As our colleague will go on maternity leave in early 2027, we at the Neurorehabilitation Department NR in Svendborg are looking for a medical secretary or a health administrative coordinator for a maternity leave cover.

This is a fixed-term appointment in connection with maternity leave. The appointment starts on January 1, 2027 and runs until the maternity leave ends. There is therefore not yet a final end date set for the temporary position. There may be an opportunity for extension or permanent employment either in the same team or in one of the department's other teams in Svendborg or Odense, if the opportunity arises during the temporary period.

We are looking for a colleague who thrives in a everyday life with many different tasks, who is motivated by making things succeed together, and who wants to make a difference for people who are in the midst of a major life upheaval.

With us you will meet patients with acquired brain injury who need intensive rehabilitation during hospitalization. You will become an important part of the patients’ processes and of the multidisciplinary collaboration around them.

Who are we?

The Neurorehabilitation Department NR is a inpatient unit in Svendborg under the Neurology Department, OUH. The department comprises around 350-400 employees across many different professions and on two campuses, and we place great emphasis on collaboration and respect for each other’s competencies.

The secretary team plays a central role in everyday life. We help each other, share knowledge and lift tasks together. We value colleagues who take responsibility, contribute with new ideas and contribute to a good working environment.

From 01.01.2027 the Neurology Department will take over the operation of rehabilitation at a specialized level at Bjerggårdshaven in Odense from the municipality as part of the health reform. This means that we are facing an exciting development where new administrative tasks and workflows must be established. As a secretary with us you will therefore have the opportunity to help shape the administrative part of future patient pathways across the hospital and rehabilitation.
