Two nutrition coordinators for permanent positions at OUH – Odense and Svendborg

Would you like to help strengthen the nutrition effort across OUH while maintaining a close link to clinical practice?

We are looking for two nutrition coordinators who have solid knowledge of clinical nutrition and a desire to translate it into good treatment and care in collaboration with colleagues across disciplines and departments.

The two positions have previously been project positions and are now funded as permanent positions. We therefore seek two nutrition coordinators, each 37 hours per week, with start date 1/1/2027.

You will work to ensure continued implementation of 'OUH's Meal and Nutrition Strategy 2024-2027' in collaboration with all departments. You will also work to further develop the strategy so that it at all times ensures that we at OUH collectively ensure a good meal, that the meal provision, education and competence development, organization of the effort, and research in the field are of the highest quality, so that the patient is offered the right nutrition at the right time.

A position with both clinical and cross-cutting tasks

In both positions 18.5 hours per week are allocated to the role as nutrition coordinator with cross-OUH tasks. The remaining 18.5 hours you will handle clinical nutrition tasks in collaboration with colleagues in the department where you are employed.

The combination gives you the opportunity to bring experiences from daily patient work into the development of the nutrition effort – and support that professional knowledge and joint decisions are translated into practice.

The positions are currently based at the Geriatric Department G and one at the Oncology Department R in Odense, where the clinical functions are also carried out. In your appointment as nutrition coordinator you will have a function at both the Svendborg and Odense campuses as well as the upcoming Health and Care placements on Funen.
