About the job

  • Do you want to help shape the future of near healthcare?

Would you like to use your professional skills close to the citizen? Do you thrive with complex patient pathways, independent assessments and strong interdisciplinary collaboration?

Would you like to be involved from the start when a new department is to be formed?

Then it may be you we are looking for.

We are seeking an engaged, experienced and professionally strong nurse for the new health and care placements in Varde.

Here you get a unique opportunity to become part of a department that is being built and developed

  • and to help create future citizen-centered nursing.

A job where your nursing makes a difference

At the health and care placements you will meet citizens who need more time, care, treatment and rehabilitation before they are ready to move on.

The citizens may have complex somatic and medical issues and multiple simultaneous diseases. Your clinical assessment, professionalism and ability to see the whole person will therefore be decisive.

You will have a daily life where you work independently and closely with other professional groups around the citizen.

We are looking for you who

  • have broad clinical experience and a desire to work with citizens from different specialties
  • have strong clinical and analytical competencies
  • can work independently and make decisions
  • are an engaged team player and contribute to the community
  • can create trust and security for citizens and relatives
  • thrive with interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration
  • are curious about new ways of working
  • want professional development and to help develop a new department
  • understand that a good working environment is created together.

You do not need to know all the answers in advance – we will find them together.

The position is full-time, in rotating shifts and with start as soon as possible.

Your tasks

As a nurse you will become a central part of the citizen's pathway. You will among other things:

  • provide holistic nursing
  • observe, assess, treat and monitor the citizen's condition
  • identify changes in the citizen's health and act on them
  • collaborate with doctors, health professionals and relatives
  • work closely with social- and health-care assistants, physiotherapists and occupational therapists
  • create coherence in the citizen's pathway
  • contribute to development and implementation of new workflows.

Be part of building something new

As a result of the Health Reform, Varde Municipality's 24-hour rehabilitation will be transferred to the regions

1 January 2027 .

At Esbjerg and Grindsted Hospitals, the new clinical department Citizen-Centered Health is under construction. The department will, among other things, house health and care placements and aims to create a closer, more coherent and equitable health system.

You will be employed at Varde Municipality's 24-hour rehabilitation until 1 January 2027, after which your employment will transfer to the region.

That means you have the opportunity to be involved from the very start and shape the new department.

We ensure you are not left alone

We know that starting something new takes effort. Therefore we offer

  • thorough onboarding program and introduction to tasks and workflows
  • ongoing competence development and good opportunities for professional and personal development
  • influence on workflows, culture and the development of the new department
  • a strong interdisciplinary community
  • focus on the working environment, dialogue and involvement
  • a meaningful workplace , where you help create better and more coherent citizen pathways.

Your starting point

Until 1 January 2027 you will be part of Varde Municipality's 24-hour rehabilitation , which currently has 20 rehabilitative placements.

Here we primarily receive citizens from the hospital for programs that can last from one week to several months. The citizens have different somatic and medical issues and need rehabilitation to regain daily functioning and achieve a meaningful everyday life.
