Nutrition Hosts Wanted for New Nutrition Unit at Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital

At Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospitals, we have a clear vision: we want to be Denmark's beacon in nutrition treatment.

Are you passionate about nutrition - and about making a difference for the patients? Are you caring and do you see hospitality as an important part of the meal? Are you passionate about bringing the care and support for patients while contributing as a key part of the nutritional effort and the overall treatment process? Then you might be one of Bispebjerg Hospital's new Nutrition Hosts?

The hospitality and the care surrounding the meals play a major role, and this should be taken care of by nutrition hosts based at the Nutrition Unit, and should be implemented in stages in all inpatient wards in 2026. This implies that nutrition hosts will be hired in new positions to support patients in choosing the right food so their nutritional needs are covered during admission. We start in November in several wards so you can join from the start.

You must thrive in and see an exciting challenge in landing in an organization undergoing significant change, where many things are not yet in place. You will become part of the Nutrition Unit, and you will help to find the best solutions with our colleagues in the various departments. We are here for the patients, and they are the center of our decisions, initiatives and workflows. We are ambitious and we always strive to do our best.

You will spend your daily time on the inpatient wards to which you are attached, and you will help establish new interdisciplinary collaborations and new workflows with colleagues from the other professional groups in the departments. You will also need to collaborate closely with the clinical dietitians and with the kitchen to relay patients' feedback and wishes regarding the meals.
