Why you should choose us

Here you will become part of a broad group of health visitors with both many years of experience and newly educated colleagues. We have a healthy and good working environment with high psychological safety, where we help each other, share experiences and focus on learning, feedback and collegial sparring.

We have varied tasks and good opportunities for professional development. The health visitors participate among other things as group leaders in various group offerings and help develop services for pregnant, postpartum, children, young people and families in different life situations.

As a new colleague you will receive a good introduction and a mentor who accompanies you in the start. You will become part of a strong professional community with close collaboration both in the health visiting service and with our interdisciplinary partners.

We are seeking

As part of our professional community, we are seeking a health visitor who shares the same belief in children and young people as us, and who has the courage, desire and ability to proactively contribute to both the health-professional development across Family and Health Promotion as well as in the day-care and school area.

Professionalism and collaboration

We are 22 professionally ambitious and engaged health visitors, who work in three teams based on districts. We meet regularly in our teams – where especially sparring and feedback are prioritized.

In addition to working with infants and schoolchildren, health visitors also participate in cross-cutting teams and preventive groups. Here we collaborate across professional groups to strengthen the efforts for children and young people in distress.

In Fredericia we believe , "that all children and young people can do more than they think".

Your profile

You are a trained health visitor and can work independently in the self-organizing role where your coordination skills come into play and are crucial for your well-being in the job. Professional passion and complex tasks motivate you, and you are willing to continuously develop yourself both personally and professionally.

As a team player you are open to development and contribute to lifting as a group. You are appreciative, curious and constructive in your approach to task solving and in your meetings with colleagues, children and parents.
