Do you want to help shape the future clinical quality and development in the Surgical Shared Department?

The Surgical Common Department seeks a development nurse who is passionate about professional curiosity, reflection and development. You will take a central role in strengthening the department's strategic direction in a time when digitization, the Health Reform and new requirements for patient pathways demand high quality, innovation and strong professional leadership.

Starting date: January 1, 2027, 37 hours/week.

About the position

As a development nurse, you will become a central key person in the department's strategic staff function with professional reference to the Chief Nurse and the Chief Physician. You will be part of a small, interdisciplinary development team consisting of a development nurse, development therapist and a research secretary, where sparring, collaboration and curiosity are the foundation of the work. In addition, you will have a close collaboration with the department's interdisciplinary leadership team on development of the department across disciplines and organizing.

The position is 37 hours per week, and you have on average 7.4 hours per week allocated to “clinic-near development,” where you wear a white coat and actively engage in clinical work very close to patients and staff. This is not counted in the staffing norm, but with opportunities to continuously qualify your development tasks with direct insight into practice. The development team shares an office close to the department management and works closely together to support quality, learning and development across the Surgical Common Department.

You will have a visible and present role in everyday life, where you drive development tasks across wards and professional groups very close to clinical practice. Both yourself and through key people and specialty leads around all divisions. You will become an important actor in creating professional reflection, coordinating development initiatives and ensuring that the department's methods, organizations and workflows are continuously developed in line with new knowledge and new requirements.

The Surgical Common Department is a highly versatile department, covering many different wards, specialties and professionalisms. You are therefore expected to be able to identify and drive development projects across all of the department's specialties.

• Handle incidents and facilitate root cause analyses
• Represent the department in quality organizations, networks and development councils

We offer

• A development position with a great opportunity to influence the department's professional direction
• A strong interdisciplinary development team with high professionalism
• Close collaboration with a strong, interdisciplinary leadership team
• A daily life close to the clinic, where development and practice go hand in hand

• Good opportunities for personal and professional development

• Has solid clinical experience and insight
• Has experience with quality, development and project work
• Thrives in change and implementation processes
• Is outgoing, curious, proactive and relational
