Psychotherapist / Psychologist

Are you passionate about helping young and adult people? We need you to assist Greenlandic students in completing an important period in their lives during their education! We are looking for a psychologist or psychotherapist for the Qinngorneq department in Nuuk, preferably starting from March 1 or as soon as possible thereafter. Your tasks will include psychotherapeutic processes with students and projects to enhance completion rates in education as well as increase well-being among students.

About Qinngorneq

Qinngorneq is a public and free offer for students and has existed since 2014. We recently became part of Inulerivik - a new National Center for Therapy and Counseling, established on October 1, 2025. This means that Qinngorneq is also part of a larger psychological community focused on knowledge sharing, solidarity, and collaboration.

We consist of five departments with 12 employees distributed in Ilulissat, Aasiaat, Sisimiut, Nuuk, and Qaqortoq, where all employees report to the chief psychologist.

We offer:

• A workplace with the opportunity to make a significant difference for students in Greenland.
• An exciting and dynamic workplace with opportunities for many different tasks.
• A good working environment with the employee's well-being as a priority.
• Good opportunities for professional development through mentoring, supervision, and courses.
• Opportunity to shape your position, for example through the initiation of projects that serve our primary purpose.
• A fantastic close-knit team with skilled and dedicated colleagues.

• Is trained as a psychotherapist or psychologist
• Is bilingual in Danish and Greenlandic
• Is passionate about helping young people and adults.
• Has the desire and ability for interdisciplinary collaboration
• Is socially inclined and has good social skills.
• Understands the importance of also being able to offer therapy online.

As a psychotherapist/psychologist at Qinngorneq, your primary task will be to manage individual psychotherapeutic processes with students, with the possibility of starting group sessions. Additionally, there is an opportunity to shape the position through the development and initiation of projects that support our primary goal of promoting the completion of education and increasing well-being among students.

We continuously focus on developing our offerings. Therefore, we emphasize that you are eager to be creative and think innovatively regarding the implementation of initiatives. In this regard, regular networking meetings are held with our local partners.

The position also involves the opportunity to go on business trips, where you represent Qinngorneq to both partners and students. The majority of clients come for meetings in their local department, and we also offer online meetings with students who do not reside in a city with a local department.

Working conditions and professionalism

We are a workplace that values community and well-being highly. Therefore, we have developed clear guidelines for the framework of therapy, which protects our employees from burnout and ensures a consistently high quality of psychotherapy. This means, among other things, that one should only have 20 active clients at a time, and that it is not expected to have more than 3 psychotherapeutic sessions a day. In addition, we have of course allocated time for both training and supervision during working hours.

To maintain the sense of community in our fantastic team, we have established regular meeting agreements for internal knowledge sharing, internal supervision, a book club, and well-being time. In addition, the entire team meets across Greenland for gatherings where we work on the development of the organization and go on a staff outing together. Once a year, each department also goes on a staff outing together.

To ensure that we always provide the optimal treatment to our clients, each employee has good opportunities for individual external supervision and further education of their choice.
