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 connection to clinical practice?

We are seeking two nutrition coordinators who have solid knowledge of clinical nutrition and a desire to translate that into good treatment and care in collaboration with colleagues across professions and departments.

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

You will work to ensure the continued implementation of “OUH’s Meal and Nutrition Strategy 2024-2027” in cooperation 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 offering, 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-disciplinary tasks

In both positions, 18.5 hours per week are allocated to the role as nutrition coordinator with cross-departmental tasks across OUH. The remaining 18.5 hours will cover 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 tied to the Geriatric Department G and one to the Oncology Department R in Odense, where the clinical functions are also carried out. In your employment as a nutrition coordinator you will have a function both on the Svendborg and Odense campuses, as well as the upcoming Health and Care placements on Funen.

Your tasks as a nutrition coordinator across OUH

You shall, in collaboration with the Nutrition Council, the clinical dietitians, and the department nutrition teams:

• Convey professional decisions from the Nutrition Council and support their translation into practice in the departments.
• Plan basic nutrition education for newly hired staff and nutrition resource persons.
• Advise nutrition teams in developing, implementing, and quality-assuring clinical guidelines and instructions for nutrition-related treatment and care.
• Support improvements of the nutrition effort based on the departments’ audit results.
• Promote interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration on nutrition.
• Develop tools that support good workflows around nutrition, food and meals.
• Bring experiences, needs and wishes from nutrition teams to the Nutrition Council.
• Serve as a link between decision-makers and users in connection with hospital procurement within clinical nutrition and equipment for tube feeding.

Your profile

You are a clinical dietitian, nurse, or have another relevant health professional education with special knowledge in clinical nutrition, preferably supplemented with a relevant master's degree.

We emphasize that you

• Can communicate professional knowledge clearly and tailor teaching and guidance to the target audience.
• Can support colleagues in translating knowledge and decisions into concrete actions.
• Contribute actively to joint tasks and to the collaboration between the two nutrition coordinators.

We offer

• A permanent position where you combine clinical work with cross-disciplinary nutrition professional tasks.
• Opportunity to influence and further develop the nutrition effort at OUH.
• A broad collaboration interface with nutrition teams, clinical dietitians, the Nutrition Council and other partners.
• A close collaboration with the other nutrition coordinator.
