At Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq, we are in the midst of an ambitious development of the Department for Disability & Social Psychiatry.

Your role is characterized by being close to operations. You contribute to creating structure, overview, and coherence in everyday life and act as an accessible sparring partner for managers, deputy managers, and employees. You support follow-up on initiatives, contribute to the implementation of new measures, and help ensure that decisions are anchored in practice.
