Occupational health consultant for project management of employee well-being and occupational health initiatives

Would you like to help strengthen well-being and the work environment in the Region of Southern Denmark, which has a major impact on the daily life of thousands of employees?

You will, among other things, be responsible for driving the region's employee satisfaction survey with a high degree of freedom to shape the content of the task solution – but you will not be alone; you will become part of a department where we share the workload.

Your new everyday life

You will, together with the rest of the occupational health and safety team, be a central driving force and coordinator on the occupational health area in the Region of Southern Denmark. The team consists of 6 occupational health consultants who in daily work closely cooperate across functions – and are always curious about each other and the world around them.

”In our department we place community, professionalism, well-being and collaboration high on the agenda – it is our DNA” says department head Jesper Stockmarr.

Your new role

You will, among other things, work with

• Drive an employee satisfaction survey (MTU) across the entire region
• Plan an occupational health conference that contributes to knowledge and concrete action in our organization
• Prepare decision proposals and develop initiatives that strengthen well-being and the work environment across the organization

You will be at the center of planning, coordinating and following up the MTU in close cooperation with your colleagues in the department, colleagues at the hospitals and the MED system, and managers around the organization. This requires you to navigate safely in a large and complex public organization.

In addition, you will be responsible for planning the regional occupational health conference – from contact to speakers to the development of the program – and ensuring that the conference supports the region's approach to occupational health work.

You will also contribute to developing other targeted initiatives for well-being and the broad occupational health environment – at operational, tactical and strategic levels.

Finally, it will be a central task for you to prepare case documents and decision proposals for the management and the MED system, so there is a solid, well-founded basis for the strategic discussions and decisions in the field of occupational health.

Who are you?

You have experience from a large organization. In addition to a solid occupational health professional foundation, you have experience in driving complex projects and initiatives.

You have a strong relational understanding, and invite with your curiosity, knowledge and interest to trust and cooperation internally as well as across units and professions. We therefore expect you to be proactive and take control, while being proactive and inclusive in the task solution.

Additionally, you naturally operate at all levels in the organization, where you have an understanding of practice, but at the same time the ability to think strategically.

We also expect that

• You are structured and focused on both process and result
• You are good at identifying development potential, and have an eye for what creates value
• You thrive and navigate well in a daily life with changing tasks and an element of unpredictability
• You have strong communication skills in both written and spoken form, and are able to translate your professional knowledge into paper in a language that reaches stakeholders
