Do you want to use your professional expertise in a strong cross-disciplinary citizen pathway and at the same time help shape a new regional health service? As a social- and health care assistant with us you will have an important role in the citizens' pathways. You meet people who for a period require health-professional treatment, care and rehabilitation – with the common goal of creating safe and coherent pathways and supporting the citizen to return to their everyday life.

At the same time you have the opportunity to influence workflows, professionalism and collaboration in a new regional offering.

You will become part of something new

Citizen-Centered Health is a new department at Odense University Hospital, which shall strengthen the nearby health services and bring treatment, care and rehabilitation closer to citizens' daily lives.

From 1 January 2027, Citizen-Centered Health will take over responsibility for the regional health and care wards on Langeland

Here an offering with 8 beds is established. The aim is to help the citizen back to their own life as best as possible through dignified, coherent and professionally strong pathways.

We are in the midst of an establishment phase, where employees with different professional backgrounds will collaboratively develop common workflows and create a strong professional environment.

You therefore will not enter a finished setup, but will have the opportunity to actively bring in your experience and professional expertise from the start.

Your role as a social- and health care assistant

You will become part of an interdisciplinary work community with social- and health care assistants, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and doctors.
