Development-oriented, professionally strong and experienced leader for the Secretariat group in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry – Hillerød

Do you want to make a difference for children and youths with psychiatric difficulties, be part of the overall leadership in Denmark’s largest Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and chair a very important professional group together with four capable leadership colleagues? Then we have an exciting position for you.

Since our capable leader in Hillerød has sought other pastures in our own organization, we are currently looking in the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Centre (BUC) for a health administration leader who can head the roughly 18 secretaries employed at our day and outpatient departments in Hillerød.

Together with the three other health administrative leaders and our administration chief, you will lead BUC’s total of 100 secretaries, who are organized in Clinical Secretariat.

The Clinical Secretariat is entering an exciting and crucial period where professionalism, processes and organizational frameworks must be changed and strengthened, so that we as a united BUC reach our goals faster and more effectively with the large diagnostic and treatment tasks ahead. Here you will play a key role in setting direction, ensuring progress and strengthening the professionalism among the secretaries.

About you

We are looking for a leadership colleague who has solid professional knowledge of secretarial tasks, a strong desire to practice close, clear and approachable leadership, and who can see opportunities and development potential in most things. As a health administrative leader at BUC you are expected to contribute to the ongoing development of secretarial professionalism, core tasks and workflows in step with new needs arising and organizational frameworks undergoing change.

We want a leader who, through involvement and contagious motivation, can ensure employees who daily support good, well-coordinated and well-planned patient pathways and meet patients, families and the treatment team in a friendly, inclusive and accommodating manner.

Leadership, development and collaboration

The secretaries at Hillerød are distributed across three outpatient clinics and a day ward. As the leader of the group, your role is to connect all the secretaries through daily leadership, common meetings, sparring and development across the units. An important task will be to ensure that workflows and task solving are standardized across departments and aligned with the rest of the Clinical Secretariat.

It will also be expected of you that you actively and ambitiously contribute to the development of the secretaries’ tasks and methods in general, as we in the coming years will work to streamline, digitize and modernize our tasks and areas of responsibility. Here you will need to demonstrate creativity and courage for change, but also patience and strong collaboration skills so the entire organization comes on board.

Last but not least, an important task for you will be to be a strong collaborative partner and link between the departmental heads of the units served by your secretaries.

Your work tasks will include

• Personnel and professional leadership of 18 secretaries across five units
• Responsibility for the daily planning of tasks and work rhythm
• Responsibility for collaboration and coordination with unit heads
• Responsibility for the secretaries’ individual professional development, including assistance from professional key persons among the secretaries
• Ensure coherence and the best possible use of resources of the secretarial group across units
• Responsibility for proper handling of registration tasks and other administrative functions related to patients and patient pathways in BUC
• Point person on implementation and further development of selected special initiatives, e.g. work with digitization of the patient administrative area, optimization and adjustment of the existing booking process, implementation of the concept of pathway coordination
• Continuously developing the professional field and task solving in close collaboration with your leadership colleagues in Clinical Secretariat

Our expectations of you

We expect that you have thorough knowledge of the health sector and the secretarial function and/or the administrative work at a large hospital. In addition, we expect that you:

• Have a strong organizational understanding, strong collaboration skills and the ability to navigate prudently in a politically governed organization
• Can think strategically, work systematically and spot new opportunities and task needs
• Follow up tasks to completion in close dialogue with your partners, including your leadership
• Are a present leader who communicates clearly and unambiguously
• Are well-versed in the patient’s journey through the system and master the work in the Health Platform at a level that allows you to support your employees
• Want to help make a noticeable difference for both employees and the many children and families we assist in BUC every day
• Aren’t to be a part of a strong leadership group where decisions are made collectively and sparring is given and received with pleasure
