Nurses sought for the new health and care facilities in Varde

Would you like to use your professional expertise close to the citizen? And would you like to be involved from the start when a new department is to be formed? Then maybe you’re the one we’re looking for. We seek 4 engaged and clinically strong nurses for the new health and care beds in Varde

Here you get a unique opportunity to help shape the future citizen-centered nursing.

Who are we? As a result of the Health Reform, the regions will from 1 January 2027 take responsibility for health and care beds. At Esbjerg and Grindsted Hospitals the new clinical department Citizen-centered Health is under construction. The ambition is to create a more nearby, coherent and equal health system, where citizens experience continuity in their pathway, and where the right competencies are present at the right time.

Esbjerg and Grindsted Hospitals will therefore establish 20 beds in Varde at the former Varde Heart Center. Here nurses, doctors, physiotherapists and occupational therapists, as well as social and health care assistants will work closely together around the good citizen journey.

The physical premises are currently being renovated, so when the doors open on 1 January, it will be in entirely new surroundings. So even though you will have some seasoned colleagues, you will together have to find your way around the new locations and develop the new workflows. We are very much looking forward to it.

A job where your nursing makes a difference At the health and care beds you meet citizens who can have complex somatic and medical problems and several concurrent diseases. Your clinical assessment, professionalism and ability to see the whole person are therefore decisive.

You can read more about health and care beds in the Quality Standard from the Health Authority.
