Professional bachelor's degree in Nutrition and Health or other relevant health professional educations

Two maternity-leave replacements for Sundhedshuset – would you like to help make health tangible and meaningful?

Do you have a health professional background and are you passionate about health promotion, prevention and supporting people in creating lasting changes in their daily lives? Then we may have a place for you at Sundhedshuset in Hedensted Municipality.

We are seeking two maternity-leave replacements at 30-35 hours per week for Sundhedshuset, which is part of the Center for Health, Volunteering and Prevention .

About the job and duties

In Sundhedshuset we work with health promotion and prevention, based on the individual person’s life, resources and motivation. You will be part of a daily routine with both individual conversations, group programs, teaching and health services in various places in the municipality.

Your tasks will include

• Health conversations, where you together with the citizen work with health, well-being, motivation and relevant habit changes.
• Sund Balance, which is a group-based program with a focus on habit changes, training and a healthier daily life.
• Nutrition-based osteoporosis education for citizens with osteoporosis.
• Decentralized health conversations at one of our satellites in either Tørring or Juelsminde.
• Nicotine cessation both as individual programs and group programs.
• Health Café at the Værestedet once a month.
• Health clinic for families with overweight with a focus on dietary guidance.
• Guidance for BED (Binge Eating Disorder) .

The tasks are thus broad, and you will meet citizens with very different needs and circumstances. The common thread is that we want to meet the citizen respectfully and with a view to the whole person – and together find solutions that make sense in each individual’s daily life.

The work will primarily be anchored in Sundhedshuset, but part of the tasks take place decentrally in the municipality, including in Tørring or Juelsminde.

Our expectations of you

Who are you?

We are looking for someone with a health professional background . It would be an advantage if you are a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Health , but other relevant health-related educations may also be considered.

We imagine that you

• Have an interest in health promotion, prevention and habit changes.
• Thrive with both individual conversations, teaching and group programs.
• Can create a safe and motivating relationship with people with different needs and life situations.
• Can work independently while also seeing the value in a strong interdisciplinary community.
• Have good communication and dissemination skills.
• Are curious about your own and others’ professional fields and want to contribute to the development of our offerings.
• Are trained as a smoking cessation advisor.

Experience with some of the described areas is an advantage, but we do not necessarily expect you to have experience with all of them. The most important is that you have a solid health professional foundation and a desire to learn and develop with us.

Why you should choose us

You will organizationally be part of Sundhedshuset under the Center for Health, Volunteering and Prevention .

Here you will be part of a professional environment where we work with prevention and health promotion across different target groups and initiatives. We place emphasis on high professionalism, collaboration and at the same time room for autonomy in task execution.

We believe the best solutions are created together – both with citizens and across professional disciplines.

Salary and employment terms

Salary and employment according to the applicable collective agreement, with the possibility to negotiate qualification and function pay.

About us

In Hedensted Municipality we work according to the values Responsibility, Dialogue and Development . They should not just be on paper, but felt in how we work together with both citizens and colleagues.

Responsibility means to us that we take responsibility for our tasks, our professionalism and the shared result.

Dialogue means that we are curious about each other’s perspectives and create solutions in collaboration with citizens, colleagues and partners.

Development means that we dare to be curious about our practice, try new possibilities and continuously develop our offerings so that they match citizens’ needs and the reality we are part of.

In Social Care you become part of a fajlfri culture. We have deliberately misspelled ‘Fajlfri’ because we do not expect you to be perfect. We expect you to be a person who uses your professional judgment, dares to try new things and learns from what doesn’t work the first time. With courage and trust in each other we can together create the best possible solutions close to the citizens.
