Professional Coordinator for the Payroll Function, Finance and Planning Department at Esbjerg Hospital and Grindsted Hospital as of January 1, 2027

A hospital and health care in rapid development The hospital and health care system is at the forefront of rapid development with the health reform. At the start of 2026, Psychiatry became part of Esbjerg and Grindsted Hospital, and from 2027 the hospital will take over a number of previously municipal tasks, which will lead to another expansion of the organisation with a department for Citizen-Centric Health.

As a result of this growth, we are undergoing a reorganization, which means that we will need you as a professional coordinator to assist with the professional leadership of the Payroll Function. In addition to payroll administration tasks, the Payroll Function also handles a number of tasks within the financial area, primarily carried out by the Payroll Manager.

In connection with the core service, which consists of payroll administration, you will both be a working part of the payroll team and have an additional professional responsibility as the payroll team's professional coordinator.

In both contexts you will have a close collaboration with the Payroll Manager, who has the overall and personnel responsibility for the team.
