The health visiting service in Esbjerg Municipality is seeking colleagues for permanent positions

As several of our colleagues over many years have chosen to take a well-deserved early retirement in the coming months, we are seeking colleagues for permanent positions.

The positions have a start date of January 1, 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The health visiting service in Esbjerg is characterized by numerous exciting professional challenges; we highly value development, professionalism and integrity, and we work in a blended arrangement.

The health visiting service consists of 31 health visitors and one administrative staff member. We are organized into three teams, and there is a team leader attached to each team, who together with the head of the Health Visiting Service (a qualified health visitor) and the area manager for Children & Health form the overall management.

• We have peer coaching and supervision
• We place great emphasis on our wellbeing in Health Visiting. We are and will be a good place to work…
• We choose good collaboration – both within the individual teams and across teams, with management and other collaboration relationships
