Nurse for Paamiut

Hold jul i Paamiut.

We are seeking a nurse from about Dec 1, 2026 for 2-3 months.

We continuously need nurses, so if you can only come later in 2027, we can work that out as well.

Paamiut has about 1250 inhabitants. In the health centre there are 3-4 nurses, 1 doctor, 2 medical students, 1 physiotherapist, health assistants, interpreters, porters and cleaning staff.

Queen Margrethe's Health Centre is part of the Sermersooq Health Region, where Queen Ingrid Health Centre in Nuuk is the largest.

The health centre's task is to handle health promotion, prevention, examination and treatment. A number of tasks are carried out by support staff who are specially trained in e.g. X-ray, planned blood tests etc. As a nurse you handle consultation and emergency department work, just as you handle work with admitted patients in the ward and pharmaceutical functions.

As a nurse in Paamiut you have 7-10 day shifts per month, where you are on call from home from 16:00 - 08:00. We have employed 2 medical students who alternate day shifts on weekends, so the on-call nurse has better opportunity to rest.

There are good, committed colleagues and this is a varied and very exciting job with good opportunities for development - both personally and professionally.

We are looking for nurses who

• Have broad experience, and preferably acute care experience
• Can work independently
• Have good teamwork skills and are flexible

We offer

• Introductory and sparring with the other nurses and the doctor employed at the health centre
