Quality consultant with a focus on quality and development in the health and elderly care sector

Do you want to work with quality, documentation and development in the health and elderly care sector – both close to practice and close to the political and administrative leadership? Then you might be our new quality consultant.

The Syddjurs Municipality Council has chosen to prioritise quality development in the elderly care and health area, and therefore we are now creating an additional position. You will enter the quality agenda at an exciting time, where we already work systematically to strengthen quality follow-up and create even better conditions for learning, development and quality improvements. We want an increased focus on early and data-driven detection of quality challenges in care.

You will play a central role in translating data, professional knowledge and organizational ambitions into concrete improvements that can be felt in everyday life for citizens, employees and managers.

You will be part of the Secretariat for Health and Learning – a professionally strong department with extensive knowledge, high wellbeing and a strong sense of community. Here you will have skilled colleagues who help each other, and great freedom to plan your work. You will also join a quality and education team, where you will receive close sparring with another employee who also works with quality and development. Our secretariat has high ceilings, an informal tone, and a focus on both results and job satisfaction.

You report to the secretariat chief and will have tasks close to the manager, employees and other leadership in Health and Elderly. At the same time you will collaborate broadly with the rest of the organization and be an important sparring partner in the work with quality, learning and improvements.
