Spend Christmas in Paamiut. In the Christmas temporary position you have the opportunity to bring a spouse/partner living together and one dependent child under 18 years, after further agreement with the hiring manager.

We are seeking a nurse from December 1, 2026 to January 4, 2027.

Some tasks are carried out by support staff who are specially trained in e.g. radiography, planned blood tests, etc. As a nurse, you will handle outpatient and emergency department work, just as you will care for inpatients in the ward and pharmaceutical functions.

As a nurse in Paamiut you have 7-10 night shifts per month, where you are on call from home from 16:00 - 08:00. We have employed 2 medical students who take daytime shifts on weekends, so on-call nurses have better opportunities for rest.
