The Kangerlussuaq nursing station is staffed with 2 personnel. One nurse and one healthcare assistant.

We are looking for you, who is a healthcare assistant with broad clinical experience and a solid professional foundation.

Treatments take place in collaboration with the doctors at the Regional Hospital Sisimiut, with whom there is a good and close cooperation. The doctor comes 6 times a year for 2-3 days.

As a healthcare assistant, you will work with scheduling appointments for consultations, triaging and treating acute and general consultations, pharmacy functions, laboratory tasks such as blood tests, interpretation, administrative tasks, and similar duties. During the peak season from May to September, there may be more inquiries from tourists.
