Nurse sought for ENT Surgical Outpatient Clinic and Operating Department

Nurse sought for ENT Surgical Ambulatory and Operating Department. Do you want a varied daily life with exciting patient pathways, high professional standards and good colleagues?

Would you like to work across a highly specialized ambulatory department and an operating department, where collaboration, development and good nursing care are in focus? Then it might be you we are looking for! We are seeking an engaged nurse for a permanent 37-hour per week position with the start date of January 1, 2027.

Who are we? The ENT Department at Aalborg University Hospital is an exciting department with a focus on professional development, learning and good patient pathways. We place great emphasis on good communication – both in meetings with patients and in collaboration with our colleagues. With us you encounter an informal tone, good mood and a strong collegial community.

You will become part of a consolidated nursing team consisting of approximately 40 nurses and two social and health assistants. We collaborate closely with doctors, medical secretaries, audiology assistants and anaesthesia staff to ensure coherent and safe patient pathways. The department includes ambulatory care, the operating department, the Sleep Center North and an otology institute at Havrevangen.

We receive about 12,000 patients annually in the ambulatory care, 900 patients in Sleep Center North and perform around 4,000 surgeries. We are a department with a high patient flow, many different tasks and good opportunities to develop your professional and personal competencies.

About the position

The position is a cross-departmental role between the ENT Ambulatory and the Operating Department. You will therefore have the opportunity to work with different parts of the patient pathway and develop your competencies in both ambulatory nursing and perioperative nursing. The ambulatory care consists of nine examination and treatment rooms, including an audiometry room and an acute room.

You will be part of a close collaboration between a nurse and a physician, where you together handle the day’s program and ensure good pathways for patients who come for investigation and treatment within the ENT specialty. The patient group ranges from children to adults, and the patient pathways include both planned and acute contacts.

We also receive daily patients in cancer care pathways, where a well-functioning cancer office with a nursing cancer coordinator ensures coherence between clinical effort and administrative coordination. The operating department consists of four operating rooms, where we daily operate both planned and acute patients within cancer surgery and general ENT surgery. Here you will be part of a multidisciplinary team where high professional standards, precision, collaboration and patient care are crucial.

You will have the opportunity to build and develop your competencies within perioperative nursing and contribute to safe and coherent patient pathways.

Working hours and introduction

The position is 37 hours per week. Working hours in ambulatory care and in the operating department are generally on weekdays from 07:45 to 15:15. In the operating department there are also late shifts until 15:45 as well as on-call shifts from home with duty from 17:00. You will receive an individually planned introduction and training program, where in the first period you follow an experienced mentor.

We continuously prioritize conversations during the introduction so we can tailor the program to your experience, competencies and needs. We want you to have a secure start and the best conditions to thrive and develop in the position.
