Senior Dentist for the Dental Service in Skive Municipality

Chief Dentist who will set the direction for the future municipal dental care in Skive

Do you want to lead a well-run municipal dental service with high professional standards, solid finances and skilled staff?

Perhaps you are already in a leadership role, or you are an experienced dentist who is ready to take the next step and use your professional skills in a new way. Regardless of how you reach the position, you want to set the direction, develop people and create high-quality dental care.

That is why this position is special

You will take a central role in the further development of municipal dental care. An important part of your task will be to maintain quality in the core task, while translating new political and legislative frameworks into new professionally strong and organizationally sustainable solutions.

Your main tasks will be to

• Set a clear direction for the Dental Service with the core task as the common focal point.
• Create good conditions for continued development of clinical professionalism and quality.
• Strengthen the organization and collaboration internally and with relevant partners.
• Ensure clear prioritization of resources and efforts.
• Maintain and further develop a good and sustainable working environment.
• Attract and retain skilled employees.

The dental service in brief

The dental service in Skive provides dental care for 9,700 children and young people as well as 500 patients in elder care, special care and social dentistry. We are 35 dedicated employees gathered in a newly renovated central clinic in the Health House in Skive. The Dental Service is well-regarded and receives positive feedback from both patients and the political level.

In recent years we have worked targeted at the core task and the working environment. Today the culture is characterized by professional pride, recognition, collaboration and integrity – a foundation you will help maintain and develop.

Leadership across the organization

As the head of the Dental Service you will have the overall professional, personnel and financial responsibility for the Dental Service. You report to the Health and Psychiatric Chief, who will be your nearest sparring partner. Together you create direction and a solid decision basis for the political level.

You will also become part of the Health Department's leadership team, where we spar, develop and solve common tasks across areas. The group consists besides you of leadership colleagues from the department's other areas: Center for Psychiatry and Addiction, Health Center, Psychiatric Advisory (authority) and Health & Administration.

With us an ambitious dentist has the opportunity to take a large career step with a real mandate – without standing alone.

The Chief Dentist we want

You are an experienced and broadly based dentist. Maybe you already have leadership experience, or you have shown through professional responsibility, project management or coordination that you have talent and ambition for leadership. If you do not already have a relevant leadership education, we expect you to be motivated to take one – and we will support you in it.

Experience from municipal dental care is an advantage but not a requirement. The crucial is that you can navigate in an organization with many stakeholders and partners.

You thrive with big responsibility and room to maneuver and contribute constructively to the joint leadership in the Health Department and Skive Municipality. You can also see yourself in the municipality's values: well-being, development and integrity. We are a decentralised municipality, where the individual leader has significant responsibility and great latitude.

We also imagine that you

• Are a visible, clear and fair leader who creates followers.
• Set clear frames, follow up and communicate respectfully – also when making hard priorities.
• Have high professional ambitions and can lead development across staff groups.
• Keep focus on the core task and can translate political goals, legislation and professional requirements into meaningful priorities.
• Are passionate about health promotion and making a difference for patients.
