We are looking for 3 nurses for permanent employment or temporary positions in Tasiilaq from October 1, 2026, preferably for at least 3 months or by agreement.

We offer:

• An exciting professional workplace where your expertise matters a lot and you will work with Arctic and acute nursing in our ward, which consists of a wide patient category.
• Good, dedicated, and competent colleagues with plenty of experience in a bi-cultural and bilingual work environment, where we together ensure good care and a good working environment.
• An extraordinary Arctic nature with ample opportunities for hiking, boating, whale watching, village tours, nature excursions, and the most beautiful majestic mountains. Experience the purest snow and air in winter and come and enjoy a white Christmas.
• A workplace where we help each other and collaborate to ensure that the patient receives good care, and where your efforts are of great importance.

About us:

• Tasiilaq is located in the Kangia/East Greenland region, where we also have 5 associated villages. The villages have their own nursing stations, and we often receive patients for treatment from the villages. During evacuations from the villages, it sometimes happens that we send one of our nurses along for evacuations by helicopter to pick up patients in the village or deliver patients who need to be accompanied to the airport, which is located in an associated village.
• The hospital consists of a medical clinic/consultation, a ward with 18 beds, an operating room, an emergency room, a laboratory, a delivery room with midwifery function, a public health nurse, porters/ambulance staff, cleaning, kitchen, laundry, TB nurse, and the town's pharmacy.
• We are about 50 employees, and in addition, we have the 5 health centers in Tiilerilaaq, Sermiligaaq, Kulusuk, Kuummiut, and Isertoq.
• When the outpatient clinic closes on weekdays at 4:00 PM, the department's staff functions as emergency reception/emergency room, where the nurse, in collaboration with the on-call doctor and other staff, ensures that patients are consulted and assessed.
• We value interdisciplinary collaboration highly, and often the different professional groups at the hospital socialize in their free time.
