Team Leaders for the Nursing Service in Vejen Municipality

Do you want to lead the future of municipal nursing?

In Vejen Municipality we are in full swing to strengthen the close health services. With the health reform and the coming changes in the health sector, we want to create an even stronger mono-disciplinary nursing organization with close professional leadership, high quality and attractive working communities.

We do not see the changes as a challenge. We see them as an opportunity.

Therefore we are strengthening our management organization and are seeking two group leaders who will help shape the future municipal nursing and ensure that our nurses have present and professionally strong leadership close to everyday life.

We are looking for

Group Leader for Day and Evening Shift Team

Group Leader for Day and Night Shift Team

Both positions report to the Head of Nursing and form a central part of the nursing's overall leadership group.

This is not an ordinary leadership job

You enter an organization with competent nurses, high professionalism and strong ambitions.

At the same time, we face a new reality where acute nursing care shifts to the region. This means that we must rethink organization, workflows and collaboration forms without losing the professional strength and coherence that characterizes the Nursing in Vejen Municipality.

As a group leader, you will not only have responsibility for smooth operations. You will have a rare opportunity to shape the development of the nursing of the future and to help create the solutions that will ensure quality, coherence and proximity for the citizens.

The Nursing is part of Elderly and Rehabilitation, where for several years we have worked purposefully with health promotion, prevention and rehabilitation. Nursing is an important part of this work and the focus will not diminish with the implementation of the health reform.

We therefore seek leaders who can create calm in change, direction in complexity and followership through relationships.

What will be your most important tasks?

You will have a central role in

• succeeding through others by being visible and accessible to the nurses
• practice value-based leadership
• create coherence between political decisions, strategic goals and citizens' experience of quality
• in collaboration with the other leadership team, create a shared culture that ensures well-being, development and professional pride in the overall nursing
• take responsibility for daily operations and prioritization
• support high professional quality and competence development
• ensure rehabilitation as a natural approach in nursing
• strengthen collaboration across disciplines, teams and sectors
• contribute to a close and professionally developing collaboration with the other leaders in Elderly and Rehabilitation – especially group and center leaders in elder care
• contribute to Vejen Municipality's NASA values, which are about:
• New thinking, because that is how we succeed.
• Recognition, because we see diversity as a strength.
• Coherence, because we believe in the value of creating together with colleagues, citizens and businesses.
• Accountability, because it promotes results and job satisfaction.

We envision

You are a nurse with clinical experience and have found meaning in leadership.

You know that good leadership is about people, but you also know that clarity, structure and decisiveness are crucial to achieving results.

You thrive in the tension between operations and development and can maintain an overview when daily life is complex.

We therefore seek a leader who

• has Danish authorization as a nurse.
• has a relevant leadership education at a minimum diploma level, is in progress or is willing to start within the first year.
• has experience with personnel management and professional leadership.
• works in a recognizing and relational manner.
• can create followership and engagement.
• can translate strategies into concrete practice.
• has financial understanding and awareness of resource use.
• is motivated to develop both people and the organization.

We offer

Become part of an ambitious and development-oriented leadership group, where there is room to think big, room for differences and a strong belief that the best results are created in collaboration. The leadership colleagues are physically close, which provides good opportunities for sparring, knowledge sharing and joint leadership development. We meet each other with humor, trust and responsibility and value a work environment where there is both focus on the task and on job satisfaction.

You will have the leadership responsibility for a group of engaged and professionally strong nurses, who every day make a difference for the municipality's citizens. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to influence the development of municipal nursing and develop your own leadership and professional competencies.

We believe that the health system of the future is created close to the citizens, close to the employees and through present leadership.
