At the Parenchymal Surgical Department K2, we are looking for a dedicated, independent, and service-minded kitchen or nutrition assistant who wants to make a difference for our patients through good food, high quality, and a well-functioning kitchen.

About K2

K2 is a surgical department with 18 beds. We primarily treat patients in parenchymal surgery and urology and receive patients from all over Greenland – both scheduled patients for examination and surgery as well as acute and subacute patients from Nuuk and evacuations from the coast.

The patient pathways range from short, planned admissions to longer and more complex courses. We also manage palliative patient pathways, where holistic care, compassion, and patient involvement are the focus.

The department also has a Stoma Clinic, staffed by a specially trained nurse.
