PA to the hospital director at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital

Do you have an eye for both the big picture and the detail, and do you thrive in making a busy everyday life function? As a PA for the hospital director at one of Denmark's largest emergency hospitals, you will have a close collaboration with the director and an important role in ensuring the many agreements, deadlines and preparations hold together.

We offer

As a PA for the hospital director you will get close to the decisions and priorities that shape the hospital. You will gain insight into the strategic leadership of a complex organization with great significance for patients, employees and partners.

You will have a central role with great autonomy and the opportunity to influence the way tasks are solved. At the same time, you will become part of a strong and well-functioning Directorate Secretariat, where we work closely together, help each other, share knowledge and carry the tasks forward in collaboration.

We emphasize a professional, yet informal work environment with high trust, short decision paths and a good tone. There is room for both professional ambitions, sparring, humor and collegiality – even when the pace is high, and days rarely look the same.

The position gives you a broad contact surface across the hospital and the opportunity to build a strong network among leaders and key personnel. You will gain insight into the hospital's strategic agendas and the opportunity to make a concrete difference in everyday life.

Your role and responsibilities

You will be responsible for creating structure, focus and progress in a busy everyday life. Your task is to be proactive, anticipate needs and ensure that the director's time and attention are used on the most important things. You plan ahead, consistently follow up and quickly adapt plans and priorities.

You have an interest in the health sector and a desire to understand the hospital's strategic agendas. As you build insight into the director's tasks and priorities, you take increasingly independent responsibility for assessing what requires the director's attention and acting accordingly.

Your tasks will include, among other things

• manage and prioritize the hospital director's calendar, plan ahead and respond when plans change
• assess, obtain and quality-assure the information and materials the hospital director needs
• prepare meetings and follow up on agreements and decisions so that agreed actions are carried out
• contact leaders and employees across the organization to obtain information and follow up on deliverables and agreements
• coordinate meetings, conferences and visits and handle the practical tasks surrounding them
• contribute to other administrative and coordinating tasks in the Directorate Secretariat.

The management has offices at both Herlev and Gentofte Hospital. As PA you follow the hospital director across the two hospitals. You should therefore expect to work two days a week at Gentofte Hospital and three days at Herlev Hospital. You will have a fixed desk at both hospitals.

About you

We are looking for someone who has experience as a PA, executive secretary or from a similar coordinating function with support to the top management. At least as important is that you are proactive, think ahead and can get things done. You take responsibility and act on your own initiative rather than waiting to be asked or assigned a task.

You are naturally structured and create systems, routines and overviews that both the director and your collaborators can rely on. Experience from the health sector is an advantage, but not a requirement.

In addition we value that you

• are service-minded, approachable and good at building trusting relationships across the organization
• communicate clearly and professionally in both writing and speech, dare to express your opinion and contribute constructively with your own assessments
• have situational awareness and handle confidential information with discretion
• thrive in a supporting role in a complex organization with many collaboration interfaces
• are flexible regarding working hours and prepared for tasks and availability that may lie outside normal working hours.

Salary and employment terms

The position is 37 hours per week. Salary and employment terms follow the applicable collective agreement. Start on 1 January 2027 or by agreement.

The application process

We must have received your application and CV no later than 1 November 2026.
