About the department

We take care of patients with surgical challenges in the upper GI tract - esophagus, stomach, bile ducts, pancreas – plus breast and weight loss surgery (we have regional functions). The pathways range from quick and simple to truly complex.

We work in teams - nurse and social and health care assistant as a pair - with full focus on professionalism and quality. We also train the next generation: nursing students and SOSU students are a regular part of everyday life.

With us it should be fun – or at least pleasant – to go to work. High ceilings, room for offbeat ideas, and a tone where humor is welcome. When you’re ready for more responsibility, there are plenty of key functions and specialist tasks to dive into.

The big family

We are part of Surgery – an independent department with both Gastrointestinal and Colorectal Surgery Units. We also work closely with Cardiovascular Surgery, and all three inpatient wards are located side by side on the same floor – providing strong interdisciplinary collaboration and plenty of flexibility. In addition, we have 5 clinics, partially staffed by trained personnel from the units.

Each of the three units has its own chief nurse who collaborates across the board – so the management is always close to you in everyday life.

On Tuesday, November 24 and Tuesday, December 1 from 15.30 - 17.30 you have the opportunity to come to the job cafe and meet us at the Abdominal Surgery Unit in Meeting Room 1, 7th floor, Building 4, Viborg Regional Hospital. Here you can ask questions about the position, etc., visit the department and meet your future colleagues. You are welcome to bring a resume.

We look forward to hearing from you
