The Greenlandic Health Service falls under the Department of Health and is organized into 5 regions, 8 clinical areas, the National Health Service, the Greenlandic Patient Home, and the health service's Operations Area.

If you are looking for professional challenges, are curious, and enjoy working broadly, then a job in the Greenlandic Health Service is for you.

In Greenland, there are plenty of opportunities to live an active leisure life. In the summer, hiking, whale watching, hunting, fishing, and boating are great activities. Winter offers northern lights and plenty of skiing, and if you live north of the Arctic Circle, you can go dog sledding. In the larger towns, there is plenty of cultural life with sports clubs, art exhibitions, concerts, cafes, and restaurants.
