Secretary

Are you good at keeping track of many things at once – and at the same time curious to learn new things and take action where it's needed? – Then you might be the one we are looking for!

The health care service in Nuuk needs a secretary who can keep track of the paperwork – and who is not afraid to get involved with everything that helps the daily routine run smoothly.

We are looking for someone who can do a bit of everything: make appointments, order things, be involved in schools, take initiative – and who enjoys when the tasks are not quite the same every day.

Your tasks can be, for example:

• Coordination and summons of children and families for health visitor examinations and visits.
• Write in journals and follow up on various cases.
• Order things from the depot, the pharmacy, and other places – make sure we have what we need.
• Help with small practical things – a bit like a junior assistant.
• Be involved in the schools – both as support and record-keeping.
• Come up with ideas on how we can do things better and smarter.

We offer:

• A thorough introduction and training
• A versatile and independent job with great significance for our daily operations.
• A small, well-functioning team with good spirits and strong collaboration.
• A workplace in development – with room for your ideas and input

We are looking for you who

• Has a relevant office education
• Is happy for children
• Thrives in a varied everyday life and is eager to take initiative.
• Is practical and enjoys "piccoline" tasks such as ordering and small purchases.
• Has good collaboration skills and can work independently.
• A stable and positive driving force in everyday life
• Is flexible and maintains an overview when things are busy.
• Mastery of Greenlandic and Danish – both in writing and speech
• There can be interpreters as needed.
